 overpriced hardware failure, 2010-05-15
* The first thing I noticed when I got this camera is that it would not hold a date. The button battery compartment and holder are poorly designed such that the battery does not stay touching the contacts. I managed a work-around by folding a small piece of paper 2 times and placing it between the battery and the holder.
* The auto-focus is very poor, and due to the small screen size, many times I could not tell a shot was out of focus until I viewed it on my computer at home.
* Flash recharge takes FOREVER.
* Battery level indicator will tell you that the batteries are low only a few shots before it shuts-down.
* DO NOT USE A POWER CORD WITH THIS CAMERA! I used a power cord, and the camera decided that all batteries from that point forward were not good enough. Brand-new alkaline batteries with 1.8V on each were deemed insufficient by the camera, which insisted "change the batteries." No matter what batteries I put in, I got that error. I became tied to the power cord.
Excellent Balance of Camera Capabilities, 2010-04-14
The Canon PowerShot A720IS is an excellent camera. It has more advanced capability than a simple point and shoot, but is very easy to use. The optical image stabilization is an important feature. I find it very useful to have a view finder because often in bright sun it is very difficult to view the screen on any camera. Canon makes a great product. They should offer more in this size/price range with a view finder. I highly recommend the A720IS.
Great product, 2010-03-09
I have been using this product for almost 2 years now. As for amateurs it is great. It does everything it specifies.
The only think I do not appreciate is the digital zoom. It is not perfect but works if you really need it. The battery last long as long as you choose a good one (like Sanyo Eneloop).
5 (amateur) Stars for this product.
Very satisfied., 2010-07-25
I was very satisfied with this recent purchase. The camera was in even better condition than I had imagined. The entire transaction went extremely smoothly.
this is an afterthought review, 2010-06-19
I returned this product because of shutter lag & not really enough zoom for me. The seller was more than helpful & accomodating. I bought a Canon SX210IS. It has just as much shutter lag. At any zoom over 10x you need a tripod - which is difficult on any trip moving with a group. BUT MOST important is the lack of viewfinder!! It is dramatic how many photos are out of focus for lack of ability to steady camera against one's head. etc etc
