Digital Trends Review: Canon PowerShot A720 IS

Canon PowerShot A720 ISDigital Trends has a review of the Canon PowerShot A720 IS and writes:

The camera also has the much preferred optical image stabilization to help eliminate blur in low-light situations. It even runs on a pair of simple everyday AA batteries as do all of Canon’s A series cameras rather than expensive proprietary lithium ion rechargeables. A quick tour of the ‘Net found this camera for less than $225 USD from reputable sites. …

Shooting outdoors the photos were spot on. Colors were very accurate with barely a spec of noise. The shots had the “Canon” feel I like so much. There was little purple fringing of tree branches against a bright blue sky. Macro shots of some of the last hydrangeas of the session were especially vibrant and lifelike.  …

The PowerShot A720 IS is a fine performer outdoors but has its faults in low light and it is a little pokey when you use the flash. It’s not a slam dunk winner but neither is it a dog—it’s a compromise. And compromises rarely make everyone jump for joy.
