Canon Powershot A720 IS

Canon Powershot A720 IS

Although the Canon Powershot A720 IS is on the large side for fitting into a pocket it offers some advanced features in a relatively compact body. The manual exposure, aperture priority and shutter priority settings are likely to prove attractive to someone who already understands the basics of photography or who would like to pick them up.

You will also find image stabilisation has been built into the lens. This may not be a critical feature on a camera with a 6x zoom lens, but it may give you an edge in producing sharply focused photographs, especially in lower light.

Another plus point for the Powershot A720 IS is its viewfinder. Despite the inclusion of the viewfinder, Canon have still found room to fit in a 2.5 inch LCD screen.

The red eye correction tool is also likely to come in handy if you have taken a portrait shot using flash and it is blighted by red eye.
