Review (Summary): "The Canon PowerShot A720 IS ($249) is an update to the PowerShot A710, one of my favorite cameras from 2006. The A720 isn't a huge leap over its predecessor, though some of the new features are appreciated. Everything else is about the same, and that's fine, as the A710 was already an excellent camera. That means that the A720 has a 6X optical zoom lens, optical image stabilization, a 2.5" LCD display, full manual controls, conversion lens support, and much more. ...

Photo quality was very good in most respects. The A720 took well-exposed photos with saturated colors, pleasing sharpness, and lots of detail. Purple fringing was not a problem. The camera keeps noise under control until ISO 400 in good lighting, but you'll see noise and noise reduction artifacts start popping up a lot earlier in low light. Redeye is also a problem, though you can remove it easily in playback mode. ..."
