    Compact, Good Image Quality, OIS, Good movie modes and recording quality, Uses AA batteries, Supports conversion lenses.

    Feels plasticky, Under powered flash, Low resolution LCD.

This camera is 2007 model and techtree has reviewed it so late. Time is to review canon 590IS, a 2008 model with very good features.

I own an A720IS and I am trying to come to grips with its awesome power. If this is the state-of-art of a compact camera what who needs a DSLR. This is my second digital camera, I am thrilled

The quality of the pictures of Canon are very nice. Their Camera needs two improvemnets. One is that the video recording should be in MPEG4 format which is adopted some of the new entrants like Sanyo, because the AVI format takes up lot of space/memory. While reviewing one can zoom the picture, but there should be an option to save the zoomed picture and print, which is not there. Canon should incoporte these functions. There is need to improve the LCD resolution

While Canon A720Is is generally a truly fine digicam of 2007- but for 2008- Canon is missing a trick or two- it is churning out Digicams with HARDLY WIDE 35-105; 35-140, 35-210 mm zooms- but now Panasonic with its zoom range starting from wide-28MM to 100, 120, 150mm is fast making available what consumer wants - a truly wide zoom lens. Wake up canon before the behemoth that Panasonic is- takes over your market share!!

Rightly said. It is time for Canon to take note & offer wide angle. One more thing is that Canon offers only 640X480 (30 FPS) while competitors have started offering HD Video Recording Capabilities.

Good point,besides on other important features like LCD size and Zoom range too Canon seems to be slow in catching up. 3 inches screen will shortly become a standard and a 10X zooms are not uncommon. Canon can not keep riding on brand visibility and service network,
