A720 vs A570 vs SX100 After exhaustively comparing the reviews, sample photos, features, costs and side by side comparison the A720 came out on top. It feels much more rugged than the A570, it has an 8 MP sensor, and the 6X optical zoom. It just feels solid when your holding it. While I liked the look and feel of the SX100 the sample photos on dpreview and flickr were not impressive and neither were the reviews. As for the flash delay for my camera it was only 2-3 seconds. People who say it takes 10 seconds are exagg...

my number 2 camera I love this camera. I have a canon 30D with 6 lenses as well and I use this camera to take pictures where lugging the gear is not an attractive option. Frankly in good conditions the pictures are just as good. Where it not up to the challenge I use the other camera. One of the reasons that I chose this over the G9 is that it runs on AA batteries. I don't want to miss pictures in some remote location because I didn't bring the right adapter.

Excellent, but not better than A710IS I'm a very experienced photographer who does a lot of tabletop product shots and portraits my studio for my graphic design work, PLUS a lot of artsy personal photo projects. I've used many different cameras, especially in the prosumer range. I got an A710IS several months ago as my small, light, take-everywhere-everyday, pocket-or-pack camera. It's an excellent camera for my needs, easier to hold steady than a Canon SD-series (I've used my daughter's SD-630), and the Image Stabilization is wonde...

Canon 720IS Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg.com
Pros: For 12 days this camera was with me in Europe. I took approx. 1000 pictures (indoors & out). I was impressed with the image quality of most outdoor pics. Image stabilazation worked well. All pics were taken in large format (3264x2448). I had 1 portrait enlarged to 12""x16"" and it was flawless. AA batteries allowed continuous shooting without tryin...

Not disappointed with this purchase Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg.com
Pros: I purchased this camera for my wife as she does not like to use my big camera. We took it to a concert last week and it really impressed me with it's quick focusing and shutter response. The pictures really came out sharp and bright considering the relatively dim lighting. Very small and lightweight, easy to use. Would definitely recommend to someon...

A terrific camera that deserves a better screen I bought this camera for a friend for Christmas. She was using a basic point and shoot model prior to it, but seemed to enjoy photography, and I thought the manual controls on this camera would be a good tool for her to learn.
Photo quality is terrific in most any lighting condition, and the lens is sharp from corner to corner, something that cannot be said for most smaller cameras. I like how the camera displays the ISO speed it will use when in AUTO ISO mode. No problems with p...

Fantastic pictures with plenty of features... I bought this for my wife for Christmas. She knows nothing about photography and I wanted to get her an easy to use camera, but with enough manual settings so she can learn a little more and be able to take control of the shot. This camera is the perfect blend of "auto" and "manual." The pictures she took Christmas day are outstanding. She just turned it to Auto and let the camera do the rest. It's small enough to take with you and it has a decent optical zoom as well. The pictures are nicer tha...

Great little camera I am an avid amateur nature photographer who switched from a SLR to a DSLR three years ago, and loved it. I thought that a small digital camera that I could always have with me would be a great idea, so I purchased one and then another better one.
Although both cameras took good photos the lack of control over DOF and exposure really bugged me...enter the A720.
Unlike most cameras with the A720s feature set, the A720 does not look like a mini SLR, it looks like a heftie...

Great value, powerful camera I've had the Canon PowerShot A720 IS for about a month now and took a few hundred pictures in various conditions. So I feel ready to write a detailed review of this (great) camera. I'm an engineer by profession and am starting out in amateur photography. I wanted something with enough manual controls so that I can apply what I've learned in photography theory. But I wasn't willing to spend too much on a full dSLR + lenses (yet). Plus I like the portability of a compact camera. I've read a lot of...

Canon PowerShot A720is Digital Camera I have owned, or given as gifts, the Canon A520 and A540 PowerShot cameras, similar but older. When I needed a replacement, I decided on the A720is, a like camera. I was thoroughly satisfied as to price, features and quality. It is so confusing to figure out if Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Fuji, Olympus, etc. is better, so I bought a familiar, but improved product. Don't regret it, either! One caveat: Whatever you buy, be sure that you get a rangefinder window, however big the LCD. Why? Because...
