Canon Cameras US PowerShot SX720 HS Black

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 for most of my casual events. It's pocket sized and doesn't interfere when taking candid photos. Battery life is great. Videos are fairly stable. It's automatic functions are good and you have all of the abilities to manually set shutter speed, aperture and ISO. Even manual focus is available for combine photo stacking.What a great point and shoot camera!

I was hesitant to order a used camera but this camera is amazing. Looks brand new. Works great! Takes beautiful pictures. With the exception of the camera pictures the nature photos were taken with this camera. I am really impressed and enjoying it. The pigeons and tree were taken at full optical zoom.My only complaint is paying so much for a camera that’s so old. I guess it’s a matter of “supply and demand “Anyway in my opinion it’s a great purchase! WiFi connection was easy and convenient.

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 the camera on a tripod or stabilizing it another way. The image quality is excellent, and if you don’t tell anyone the images came from a Point and Shoot, they’d easily think they came from a mid-range DSLR with a good lens.I’ve had the camera now for a few weeks, and I’ve tested it both in the daytime and nighttime. In bright daylight, images come out crisp and richly saturated. At night, the camera performs well, especially if you use a tripod. I rarely use any of my DSLRs at night without a tripod unless I’m using a lens with a really wide aperture, so I’ve grown accustomed to mounting my cameras on tripods. You can get very sharp, high-quality images with this camera at night if you mount the camera. You’re able to do exposures lasting up to 15 seconds, and the images look great. I have not tested the video capabilities of the camera yet, but I will get to it eventually. For me, video capture is a nice option to have, but not something I am really interested in at this point. My main focus (pun intended) is taking still images.If you’re looking for a high-quality, elegant Point and Shoot, this is the camera. I am planning on traveling a lot soon, and I think I am going to leave home all of my DSLRs and lenses and just bring this camera with me. Sometimes less is more, especially with a powerful little camera like this one.

I got this camera in July. My lens will not retract without an error sign which I dealt with but yesterday the pictures started to have a black blurry line on the bottom. The lens is focusing on something that is not the subject of the pictures and all the pictures are turning out blurry. Idk what to do. The camera was not cheap and I need it for work but have no recourse.

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. The bulk of our pictures we have been taking on our iPhones and storage always full. No longer!! This is the go to camera now!! We have a canon elph 130 which is awful in low light as the flash makes the person look like a ghost and the rest of the room dark. This camera doesn't do that at all! Everything looks well lit! A lot of times it doesn't even need flash when I think it will. The pop up flash is something to get used to especially when in use I have to hold the camera differently but I can live with it because of how in love I am with the picture quality this thing is producing. The video quality is also awesome! We've taken several videos of our kids playing and even out on a walk down our road and it has no issues keeping focus..just amazing. I'm so so so happy!!! We are already talking about buying another one so that we can have one set up on a tripod taking video on special occasions and the other taking pictures! This camera is going to capture so many memories for us. The camera is very well built and quality solid materials you can feel holding it. Love the buttons and that there is hardly any delay taking a picture when you press the button. The zoom is also pretty cool, I tested it out taking some pictures of deer in the field behind my house. I couldn't be happier.
