Canon PowerShot A720 IS Comments

I am waiting for Canon to make a camera which will be a suitable replacement for my Powershot A620. Currently they make nothing that ticks all the right boxes.

Its quite simple. All I want is a tilt and swivel LCD and a reasonable battery indicator. The powershot I have, has a tendency to run the batteries down when its not being used. And when they do run out it gives you under 1 minute of warning before they give up completely..... which is absolutely ludicrous.

I have emailed them to ask if they have such a camera in their range. The reply i have says that they do either or, but not both. Until that day... I will wait.

How about the Canon Powershot A650is?

Now the price is down to £139.99 at Jessops the A720IS looks a very good buy for anyone wanted a bit more control than a simple P&S.

I only paid £129.99 for mine at Jessops. Lacks the 28mm capability of my Canon Ixus 850 (pickpocketed in Cape Town) but zooms out to 200+mm. Bulkier too but otherwise it's great and a real bargain at that price.
