A Terrific Digital Camera

I've had my Canon Powershot A720 IS for over 3 months now and I love it. It's very easy to use and takes sharp, clear, bright color photos, and can go almost anywhere--I often carry it in a pouch on my belt, especially on vacation and during family outings. Its 8 mega-pixels allows cropping with good, sharp results.

I got an underwater case and have enjoyed taking photos of colorful fish, reefs, other sea life and under waterfalls in Hawaii that are very bright and natural. The Image Stabilizer (IS) feature is very useful, especially in low light situations where I want to avoid flash. This camera has pretty much replaced my Canon 20D SLR, a much more sophisticated but bulkier, heavier camera that I've used for years.

I think this is the best small all-around camera I've ever owned, and I really like the photos I'm getting with it. Highly recommended!
