Canon PowerShot A720 IS prices and specs
The Canon PowerShot A720 IS was released on Aug 20, 2007 and is available in USA for 48.00
The Canon PowerShot A720 IS is a point and shoot camera. Its main benefit is a very small size: the photographer can take it anywhere with himself easily. The PowerShot A720 IS has different automatic modes but you won't shoot photos of the same high quality in comparison to large sensor compact cameras.
The device can take images at 8 megapixels highest resolution. But for better photo quality the more important specification is a sensor size. The PowerShot A720 IS has a 1/2.5' (5.744 x 4.308 mm) sensor which means that the camera will shoot images with a lower quality than cameras with larger sensors but instead it has another advantage - the PowerShot A720 IS has small dimensions and weight. But if you want to produce images of the professional quality check Leica M Edition 60.
The PowerShot A720 IS has max shutter speed of 1/2000 sec. It is an average shutter speed which will be enough for taking action images of a very good quality. The device can even shoot videos but the max resolution is not very high - 640 x 480 @ 30/15 fps.
The lens is fixed and the camera owner won't be able to switch it. The lens provides average 6x optical zoom.
