Almost perfect [Posted on 2008-12-12]
Canon has been making what I consider to be the best line of digital cameras since Digital Day One. This camera does everything I want it to do, and provides an excellent result. Canon's cameras always seem to have the best and easiest to use menu functions. My only disappointment is that, although this isn't supposed to be water resistant, it is extremely sensitive to moisture on the LCD panel. I keep the camera in a waterproof case while paddling, but just the little bit of moisture I transfer to the camera from my hands results in the failure of the LCD to work until I can dry it out later. I'd buy the $200 housing, but it might not fit my next camera which, according to my experience, I'll be needing in another year or two.


Best Camera Ever and Very Durable!!! [Posted on 2008-12-12]
This is the Best camera I have ever owned. I liked it so much that I bought another one for my wife. I fly a AirCreation Trike and I take photos from the air. It handles very well with one hand operation, (the other hand is doing the flying). Very clear pictures because of the stabilization. Easy to review pictures on the back of the camera and is also nice to have a viewfinder for very sunny days. Very good price. $200 plus $20 for a Kingston 2GB, 120X ultimate SD card.

Camera Works Well for Me [Posted on 2008-12-16]
This camera is just what I needed to take pictures of items for my Etsy store and my blog. It's easy, straightforward, and takes lovely pictures.
The only ackward feature for me is working the little door to the photo cards and batteries.


Great camera, but it's picky about batteries. [Posted on 2008-12-25]
PROS:
1. Great images. Canon rarely disappoints. Highly rated by many professional camera reviewers.
2. Good selection of menu options
3. Good "auto" setting for the amateur.
4. Good size, though not an ultra-thin pocket camera. I personally like the 'grip' that juts out a little, and it fits in a coat pocket fine.
5. Best feature: old school optical viewfinder -and- LCD screen (LCD screens are fine, but they eat batteries, and are nearly useless in bright sunlight).
6. Good OPTICAL zoom (and digital zoom can be turned off via the menu).
7. Uses AA batteries (rechargeable highly recommended), so no need for a custom battery pack or unique charge cord/device). I despise expensive, propietary battery packs, so AA batteries in the A720IS is great.

I got it for under $200, but this model has been replaced by newer models (which in my opinion are not that different), and the A720IS now usually costs more since it is getting rare.

CON:
1. Eats regular AA batteries like a hungry King Kong.
2. Low battery indicator lights up long before batteries are depleted.
3. Flash recycle time slow, but no worse than some similar models.

IMPORTANT:
It is highly recommended you use GOOD rechargeable batteries (supposedly Sony Eneloop or Rayovac Hybrid work best), or you will never get more than a few dozen shots. I find that turning off the LCD preview, red-eye reduction, and a few other options does extend battery life. I mainly use the optical viewfinder, then review my pics periodically on the LCD screen, rather than leaving it on all the time to drain the battery.

If even rechargeable batteries don't last long in your A720IS, you may have received a flawed camera. Send it back to Canon immediately while your warranty is in effect; it is possible they can do a software update to improve the battery sensor/life.


Good Camera. Slow response time. [Posted on 2008-12-26]
Excellent camera with good zoom for the price. Only complaint I have is that it takes somewhat longer for it to be ready for a second photo
