Great little camera

Love this camera and I keep it in my bag at all times. It takes great photos for every day snapshots when a dslr is not convenient to carry. The only complaint I have is the lack of a Sports mode. The Children and Pets mode is the closest I can find and it does an alright job with kids. However, although I've gotten a few good sports shots with it, it's still on the slow side and not fast enough to catch some of the best action shots.

viewfinder

Last of the compact cameras with a viewfinder. Image stabilizaton, advanced electronics, 2 aa batteries,and many options. A really great camera. Only negative , there is no user manual-only a cd. This presents a problem when you are travelling and need to check something.

Fuzzy

I had 3mp and 8mp cameras that I feel took better pictures. Most of my problems were with indoor pictures coming out fuzzy and/or pixelated. There is an easy setting and even with using this function I still had poor picture quality. I know this has a 12.1 MP, but to me it is of no use if the pictures come out the way they did. I did read the manual and even with following the suggestions for taking picutres I still had this problem. HOWEVER, As far as taking "posed" shots in very good lighting the pictures came out GREAT, but for taking those pictures of activities, especially indoors (yes I did use flash), I have many poor images of great memories. I am definitely not a "technical" type person, but with owning two other digital cameras I didn't have this type of a problem. It seems like an easy to use camera, So I guess that is why I am so disappointed that I had this problem.

Perfect combo of size and features!

Great camera! Great battery life! Amazing features!

For anyone who is tentative about this camera b/c other reviewers claim that the features are lacking...put your reservations aside! I will say that the manual is a bit lacking--it does mention all of the features but it definitely doesn't explain how to use them or the extent of their use as well as it could. So, you will need to devote some time to playing with the camera and the manual to figure out exactly what the camera can do and how to do it.

I will say that this is not a point and shoot camera...I mean, it does point and shoot exceptionally well! However, the artistic features of this camera is what really makes it spectacular! Sepia, B&W, single color, enhanced color, contrast, manual settings, etc.

Anyway, great camera!

Great camera

Canon never disappoints me. If you want to get a nice digital camera this is one of the best, if not the best, from the Power-shot series. Battery life is pretty good, the image quality looks great. If you know how to set it up to the Manual setting correctly, the images look like professional pictures. Since, I haven't played with it yet, (one of my photographer friends put the settings on the Manual), I go with Auto, which automatically chooses the best setting for the picture. Very good camera and convenient to carry for traveling. I had two other Canons before, without any problems. I highly recommend.

BEST Point & Shoot EVER

Camera is the best point and shoot i have ever owned. I have owned two sony P&S and a canon P&S, and by far this is the best. The optical zoom is AMAZING. The 720P HD movie quality is amazing. The problem with the flash popping up is not a problem at all. It isn't even in the way. I was skeptical about people saying there is no zoom while recording a movie. They are WRONG. True, there is no OPTICAL zoom, but there surely is digital zoom, and there is NO problem with that. The digital zoom is VERY adequate. If you want a better camera for videos, go buy a camcorder. This camera is for pictures. The pictures are EXCELLENT!!! The only down side i could say is that the black is more of a dark, dark brown. I wanted a black one, but opted for the blue one, which is VERY nice. BUY THE CAMERA!

Dissapointed

I bought this camera a year ago and loved it, but as the lens was opening the other day I got an error message saying "Lens error, restart camera". After some internet research it looks like this is a common problem that Canon knows about, but won't aknowledge. Looks like I am going to have to buy another $300 camera, but it won't be a Canon.

Canon SX200IS

This is a fabulous camera. Who needs an SLR? This one does everything. The IS is superb. I have taken portraits of people 50 feet away in dimly lit rooms. I use ASA 3200 for a lot of indoor work and get pictures not too noisy that are quite suitable for internet slide shows. I seldom use the flash.
Excellent battery life, easy to carry.
My only complaint is the time between pictures is a few seconds.

A luck thing jumping price

I purchased this cam for my wife in 2007, I wanted something inexpensive but gets the job done. I've been buying cannon cameras for years now and this one does not disappoint, picture quality, battery life, size all top notch. I read a lot about lens jamming and expensive repairs, I suggest you get a warranty for it, I guess a few out there are lemons. Oh, I would like to also add, I purchased this camera new for $213.51 on 2/5/2007, the price tag on it now is steep, more then double, no longer and inexpensive camera. At this price I won't buy it again, five stars then, four stars now.

Great ittle camera

I bought this camera about 2 years ago. It's been a great little camera. It is a point-and-shoot, with the usual limitations of such (why are you complaining about a P&S camera not shooting in RAW, or not being able to adjust aperture and shutter speed? If you want those capabilities go buy a Digital Rebel, they're not that much more expensive!). It's cute and small, and in most settings takes pretty great pictures. I LOVE the macro mode, and also use this camera to take short video clips of my 1 yr old all the time (got a 2g memory card to hold lots of footage). I've also never had issues with the battery life-- I use the LCD screen constantly, and can take several hundred photos before needing to recharge. My only complaint is the flash can be a bit weak, and it would be nice to have an indicator of how much battery life you have left before it's truly low, but again I see this as kind of standard P&S problems.

It's been pretty durable. Only now (after 2 years of heavy use) did the screen break on me, thinking back I think it was when I had it in my back pocket while at the park with my kid. I will be going out and buying another Digital Elph camera b/c I've had such a good experience with this one.

Bad experience

The camera was ok but a year later it stopped working out of nowhere.
We were told that we would have to pay $250 approximately in order for canon to repeat it.
So of course we bought a different camera.

Great camera

I've had this camera a few years now and transported on road trips, to Europe, to Japan. I have dropped it probably half a dozen times and the bastard just won't die. A week ago I was hiking up a mountain in Japan and exhausted, I accidentally let the camera slip out of my hand. That means while the lens was extended it dropped from my height, six feet, down onto a rock, then kept smacking down the hill from rock to rock. When I picked it up it was badly scratched, the lens was a little malfunctioning, but it STILL worked.

Oh, and then at my hostel I accidentally dropped it from my bunk bed about 10 feet off the ground...and now the camera works perfectly again. This is the most immortal camera I have ever come into contact with.

Plus: great features, fits into pocket, large screen, etc etc.

Customer Review :

this is an afterthought review

I returned this product because of shutter lag & not really enough zoom for me. The seller was more than helpful & accomodating. I bought a Canon SX210IS. It has just as much shutter lag. At any zoom over 10x you need a tripod - which is difficult on any trip moving with a group. BUT MOST important is the lack of viewfinder!! It is dramatic how many photos are out of focus for lack of ability to steady camera against one's head. etc etc

I was very satisfied with this recent purchase. The camera was in even better condition than I had imagined. The entire transaction went extremely smoothly.

Great product

I have been using this product for almost 2 years now. As for amateurs it is great. It does everything it specifies.
The only think I do not appreciate is the digital zoom. It is not perfect but works if you really need it. The battery last long as long as you choose a good one (like Sanyo Eneloop).
5 (amateur) Stars for this product.

overpriced hardware failure

* The first thing I noticed when I got this camera is that it would not hold a date. The button battery compartment and holder are poorly designed such that the battery does not stay touching the contacts. I managed a work-around by folding a small piece of paper 2 times and placing it between the battery and the holder.
* The auto-focus is very poor, and due to the small screen size, many times I could not tell a shot was out of focus until I viewed it on my computer at home.
* Flash recharge takes FOREVER.
* Battery level indicator will tell you that the batteries are low only a few shots before it shuts-down.
* DO NOT USE A POWER CORD WITH THIS CAMERA! I used a power cord, and the camera decided that all batteries from that point forward were not good enough. Brand-new alkaline batteries with 1.8V on each were deemed insufficient by the camera, which insisted "change the batteries." No matter what batteries I put in, I got that error. I became tied to the power cord.

Excellent Balance of Camera Capabilities

The Canon PowerShot A720IS is an excellent camera. It has more advanced capability than a simple point and shoot, but is very easy to use. The optical image stabilization is an important feature. I find it very useful to have a view finder because often in bright sun it is very difficult to view the screen on any camera. Canon makes a great product. They should offer more in this size/price range with a view finder. I highly recommend the A720IS.
