Canon Powershot A720 IS - DigitalCameraReview
DigitalCameraReview have published a review of the Canon Powershot A720 IS digital camera. ‘As this camera is an "IS" model, it has Canon's optical image stabilization system. You can disable IS, use continuous IS, have IS only enabled at the time you shoot, or use "Panning" IS. Each mode has its strengths - continuous IS can help with previewing a shot, but is not as effective as shoot-only IS, which also uses less battery power. If you're trying to shoot a moving subject while you pan, like in a race of some sort, the panning IS mode stabilizes vertical movement, but allows horizontal movement. Lens performance was good overall. There was some fairly noticeable barrel distortion at wide angle, but pincushion distortion was minimal. Details across the frame were excellent.’
