Canon A720 - The Zoomonster

One of the most appealing features of the Canon A720 is its unusually high 6x magnification.This allows photographers to capture shots that the standard models with 3x magnification would not be able to capture. The zooming would be impossible without the image stablization so well known in these types of cameras. Other features include an 8 megapixel sensor, 4x digital zoom, Lens-shift image stabilization, JPEG file format, Movie mode with sound, Auto and manual focus, Auto and manual exposure, an ISO range of 80-1600, 2.5-inch LCD display, Secure Digital memory storage (16MB card included), and 2 AA batterie slots. The face detection technology now being implemented in many of Canon’s cameras can spot a human face from across a room and zero in on it. This is extremely helpful, as is ensures that pictures of family and friends can focus on exactly who you want to capture and not on some other distraction such as the background. The Canon A720 is a camera made for the casual photographer looking for an affordable, full featured camera, with convenience and a compact frame small enough to hold in your hand.
