Canon Cameras US PowerShot SX720 HS Black

This is a superb camera. I grew tired of always having to lug around one of my DSLRs anytime I went out so I started looking at a few Point and Shoot options. I decided to buy the Canon Powershot 720 HS after reading some of the reviews on Amazon, and I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. The camera is compact and elegant and feels wonderful in your hand. It is a fully manual camera that allows you to set the ISO, aperture, and shutter speed, which is exactly what I was looking for in a Point and Shoot. The camera has a 40X zoom lens, but do not try to zoom out too far without mounting th

My husband and I are blown away with this camera!!! One of the best purchases we've ever made!! My dslr canon rebel is going to collect dust. The rebel is great but I wanted a simple point and shoot and was trying to treat the rebel that way and of course my pictures were not great as a result. I don't want to fiddle with settings. This sx720 is exactly what I needed. Performs amazing indoors in low light. We mainly take pictures of our toddler and baby so a lot of pictures indoors and outside. I was tired of feeling like I couldn't take pictures after a certain time of day inside due to light

Great PhotosThis is my third Canon point and shoot, and I am not at all disappointed so far. The second in the PowerShot SX...HS line. My previous SX260 HS is still going strong -- though scuffed up from heavy use. I will miss the built-in GPS feature of my previous Canon, but since it didn't work indoors anyway, I won't miss it that much. I bought this model to go from 20x to 40x zoom. The wide-angle is 24mm equiv. full telephoto is 960mm equiv. (which on a DSLR that would be a VERY BIG lens). ( For comparison only - the 20x zoom of the SX260 HS was 25mm equiv. to 500mm equiv. both have the s

A great ultra-zoom camera. I've used it for many different events... family vacations, weddings, bicycle touring, fishing, nature photography, landscape photography, architectural photography. It does it all. And it does it really great too for such a small and lightweight camera.Picture quality is pretty good for a it's sensor size. You can probably get better better picture quality from your iPhone. But with it's 40x optical zoom, a smartphone can't compete. Sure, I could grab my Nikon P950 for it's zoom capabilities, but it's HUGE compared to this SX720.This Canon SX720 is my go to camera f

Update 6/30/2017 - While the Canon SX720 has been a good camera for travel, I miss having a viewfinder and RAW format. I bought a Panasonic DMC ZS60 which has both and will try that.+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Update: I've had the camera for while now and it's grown on me. The missing panoramic function is still a problem for me. Although I can stitch pictures together for a panoramic image in PhotoShop, it's extra work. I really miss that function on this camera.I found that I can overcome the slow shutter speed in "Auto" by using the T function and setting the shutter speed - but

Used the camera for a couple of weeks then got a memory card error. Most online info said to: 1) take sd card out and reinstall; 2) take battery and sd card out and reinstall; 3) reformat sd card in camera.Options 1 & 2 had no effect - camera still had memory card error; 3 isn't an option - when I go to the settings menu, format is not active (grayed out).Put in new sd card and after the first use, got the memory card error again. Only solution that worked was to reformat sd card in laptop.Have now had the camera since January. If any pressure is put on the battery/sd card compartment there is

Not in a good state and the lens is scratched but does the job I guess

This camera is AMAZING!! I am so impressed!I purchased this camera specifically for its HD video capabilities, but it has completely revived my love of photography! The last time I purchased a digital camera was back in about 2009, and that one was a mid-range Casio model that lasted me several years. I hadn't felt the need to get a new camera since then because of the advances in cell phone camera quality, but my phone is now 2 years old and is running out of memory... I decided to try the SX720 and I am so happy I did! It turns out digital cameras have also made some amazing advances over th
