 Last of the really good "A" series? October 11, 2008

The Canon A720 IS has to stand as one of the best all-round cameras of the decade. Sadly (and stupidly) Canon has discontinued this model which has sold in the hundreds of thousands world wide for the past 18 months, and replaced it with an inferior product -- in the form of the A2000 IS. What were Canon thinking!
Pricing point, features, full manual control, high quality 6x zoom lens, true image stabilisation and eye-level viewfinder, all wrapped up in a sleek, easy-to-hold package. Add in wide-angle and tele-converter lenses, and it's the perfect advanced-amateur camera. Image quality is spot on -- perfect colour rendition, good dynamic range, noise-free high ISOs, sharp and fast auto focus, and accurate auto white balance round out its technical capabilities.
The A720 IS is a camera that needs to be grabbed ASAP before it disappears forever!
Great camera: Canon PowerShot A720IS 8MP September 30, 2008
I'm no camera whiz. This camera worked great for me on a recent vacation. It does the smart stuff autamatically (facial recognition, image stabilization) and the viewfinder is a blessing in bright sunlight.
 A- September 13, 2008
I recently bough this camera as an upgrade for my Canon A620. It is pretty much the same camera, except is has better specs and new features such as the image stabilizer. One of the selling points for me on this camera was the 6x optical zoom, which is a rarity in the point-and-shoot cameras. It is usually 3x. The only features that are present in my older Canon that I wish this one had is the Color Accent/Color Swap feature and I also wish there wasn't such a long delay between shots when using the flash.

I always research before I buy. Suggested retail price for this cam is $199.99 according to the Canon website.
Canon PowerShot A720IS 8MP Digital Camera with 6x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom September 6, 2008
Every time I learn more about this camera. I have several other Canon digital and regualr cameras and I'm a true fan of Canon cameras.
