Canon PowerShot A720
This camera is no longer made. I followed professional reviewers' advice and tracked one down. I find it as billed, including the plastic feel. However, that one negative is easy to forgive and forget considering all the positives. The one I like best is that in auto mode it is easy to use and as I learn, the camera has lots of room to grow with me. Next best, the small size makes it handy to tote.
Great Camera
This camera has performed well in all situations I have subjected it to so far. I still have to learn some of the features. The zoom is great and the pictures are excellent with good color control. The flash is effective without shadow outlines, but there is some problem with red eye the way I use it. The LCD display is bright and works well even in relatively bright light. As a consequence, I have been using the display to compose pictures much more than with my previous camera. I also like being able to use AA batteries for power. It is a great camera.

great camera, great price, extremely happy with this purchase - brother bought the same camera and recommended it to me - we both love the camera easy to use and very clear pictures
Excellent camera
I've been using this camera for about 9 months now, and I'm very happy with it. The battery life is great, the display is big, and it's packed full of great features. The only drawback is that it can take a few seconds for the flash to recharge, and the camera isn't the smallest one you can buy. But on the other hand, you have a lot of control over how your pictures are taken through various manual settings, the picture and movie quality is very good, zoom is decent, and the camera uses non-proprietary NiMH AA batteries.
Crisp pictures
Takes good pictures. Not user friendly and not enought settings to what i like to use it for. Need to look into the manual better to figure it out. But it does take great pictures.
