It’s been a while since I’ve taken a look at any of Canon’s A-series cameras. What with the popular and fashionable IXUS range, the very successful range of digital SLRs, the wonders of the S5 IS super-zoom and the semi-pro PowerShot G9, not to mention the new SX100 IS, the poor old A-series has been a bit overlooked of late. In fact the last A-series camera I reviewed was the excellent A570 IS, back in June.
Naturally things have moved on a bit since then, and included in Canon’s Autumn collection was the PowerShot A720 IS, an 8-megapixel, 6x zoom camera with optical image stabilisation, an optical viewfinder, 2.5-in wide-view monitor and a range of manual exposure options. It’s sold exclusively through the Jessops chain here in the UK, but is available from a wider range of sources elsewhere in the world.
