Great image quality at lower ISOs; manual exposure controls; quick nonflash performance

Long flash recycle time; highest ISO settings very noisy

Unless you plan to shoot primarily in low light, the Canon PowerShot A720 IS makes a solid, affordable camera that produces great-looking pictures.

"Piece of junk!"

By (cnet.com)

I got it for the 6X zoom in a pocket camera. Unfortunately, the autofocus does not really work at the far ranges of the focus

It never has held the date! It demands date reset every turn on. Pics have dates from 1980 on to 2007.AARGH. Shutter cover no longer works, flash recovery is extended, anti-shake is not effective, and auto-focus does not work at end of zoom range

I've had the camera less than a year and already had to send it in for repairs twice! Two batteries don't seem to be sufficient power for this camera - burns through them rapidly
