Canon Powershot A720 IS Details

Editors' Comments

Replacing the much-loved A710 IS, the Canon Powershot A720 IS is a minor update that pushes the megapixels up to 8 and generally offers the same great above-average zooming ability that came with its predecessor. As part of Canon's 'A' series, it's wonderfully simple, yet capable of great things, with full manual control in addition to its entry-level auto settings. The A720 IS is a powerful camera you can grow into, and that's a quality worth investing in.
