Terrific!

This camera is terrific, the picture quality is excellent and it has a lot of good functionality for taking different kinds of pictures. The face detection is very helpful for getting the correct focus. A good point and shoot camera with functionality for more advanced users as well.

good first camera

It is pretty good unit. I am satisfied with it. You can change many settings to meet your need. You will get very good picture with good settings.
The cons are:
The background noise is a little high, especially when the ISO is high.
You have to know some knowledge of taking pictures and it take some time to be used to this camera.
Do please shorten the timing of the shutter at night or you will get very blurred pictures.

Excellent Little Canon Camera

I ended up not purchasing this through Amazon.com as I found it for a little less locally during a special sale. Amazon.com still has, overall, the best price (even including shipping).

I got this camera for my wife who wanted a good combination point-n-shoot and of manual control options. We researched several others in the price range and certainly the Nikon was a good competitor. But we have both used and enjoyed Canons for years and, in the end, decided to stick with Canon...mostly just so we wouldn't have to learn a different strategy for the various controls. For us, this was a good decision, as we were up-n-running with the A720IS right out of the box.

We have not used this little camera so far; haven't had a lot of time. But my wife is already pretty proficient with it having used it around the house and at the zoo. We will be on photo-safari in Kenya in a few weeks and by all of the practicing with the A720IS so far, I suspect it will be a wonderful camera companion for my wife.

The large 2.5" LCD and the optical viewfinder are great. We have used cameras without the optical viewfinders and have vowed never to have a camera with one again. The optical viewfinder on the A720IS fill the bill for us just fine. The large LCD is still completely useless in bright light situations (especially for those harsh mid-day sunny shoots...which I know we shouldn't be trying to take pictures in...but sometimes you just don't have a choice); but that is a problem with all of the contemporary point-n-shoot cameras. I recently purchased a nice bellows-style LCD hood that attaches with velcro and so far it has completely and satisfactorily solved the LCD washout issue. So, with that challenge solved, this is a great camera.

I would definitely recommend this camera to anyone looking for an inexpensive, flexible, point-n-shoot style camear...especially to anyone that would like to have the option of just about any level and type of manual control that you could want.

Bought two, one for me and one for her, we were impressed and everything was as advertised, we tried them out immediately and everything was good.

so far we really like our canon powershot A720IS. takes great pics, has lots of options and isn't big and heavy but still enough to hold onto. great camera for the price.
