- General
- Brand: Canon
- Model Number: 1071C001
- Product Name: PowerShot SX720 HS 20.3-Megapixel Digital Camera
- Color: Red
- Digital Camera Type: Point and Shoot Cameras
- Imaging
- Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
- Image Sensor Size: Other
- Image Resolution (Display): 5184 x 3888 (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, used to either capture an image or display it. The higher the resolution the finer the image details.)
- Zoom Capability: true (This function allows for magnification of the subject.)
- Digital Zoom: 4x (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
- Optical Zoom: 40x (The optical zoom uses a combination of lenses that magnify the image prior to it being registered at high resolution by the imaging sensor.)
- Image File Format(s): JPEG (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
- Focus
- Autofocus: true (Allows the camera to automatically focus through the lens, rather than by adjusting the lens manually.)
- Eye Autofocus (Eye AF): false (Automatically seeks out and focuses on the subject's eye and holds it as the camera and subject move and as the photographer shoots at high frame rates.)
- Exposure Control
- Shutter Speeds: Auto mode: 1sec. to 1/3200 sec.; Tv and M modes: 15 sec. to 1/3200 sec. (The length of time the shutter remains open when the shutter release is activated, expressed in fractions of seconds. The longer the shutter is open, the more light that is able to be captured by the camera sensor.)
- Brightness Control: false (Allows the camera to adjust the brightness of a captured image for optimal exposure.)
- Burst Mode: true (Also referred to as continuous shooting. This feature captures multiple shots in rapid succession.)
- Self Timer: true
- Self-Timer Delay: 10 seconds
- Shooting Modes: M, Av, Tv, P, Live View Control, Hybrid Auto, Auto, Creative, Sports, Portrait, Smile, Wink and Face Self-Timer, Handheld Night Scene, Low Light, Fish-eye Effect, Miniature, Toy Camera, Soft Focus, B/W, Super Vivid, Poster, Fireworks, Movie modes (Exposure modes employed by the photographer to control the optimal aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and other settings for capturing specific subjects/scenes. Examples include Aperture-Priority, Macro, and Manual modes.)
- Panorama Mode: false
- White Balance Modes: Auto; Daylight; Cloudy; Tungsten; Fluorescent; Fluorescent H; Custom (Settings that calibrates how the color white is rendered in an image/video, reducing the appearance of unnatural contrasts caused by various light sources.)
- Effective Pixels: 20.3 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
- Lens
- In-Lens Image Stabilization: true (This feature helps reduce image blurring from camera motion. Lens stabilization means an element within the lens moves automatically to counteract detected motion.)
- Flash
- Flash Modes: Automatic, Fill-in, Off, Slow sync (The flash feature emits light to increase the brightness of a subject in dimly lit environments. Common modes include Auto and Red-Eye Reduction.)
- Integrated Flash: true
- Display
- Display Type: TFT-LCD
- Screen Size: 3 inches (Size of the screen, measured diagonally from corner to corner.)
- Screen Resolution: 922,000 dots (Screens come in a range of resolutions (measured in pixels, horizontal x vertical). The higher the resolution, the greater the picture quality.)
- Touch Screen: false (Touch-screen devices make navigating more intuitive. Using a touch-screen display, you can do things such as tap to select, hold and drag to move items, swipe to scroll, and pinch to zoom.)
- Varying Angle Screen: false (The camera's screen can be flipped out and adjusted to rotate, tilt, and/or swivel.)
- Video
- HDR Mode: false (HDR Mode uses multiple photos taken at different exposures to add more dynamic range to photographs. HDR technology displays content with greater contrast between bright and dark, resulting in clearer and more lifelike images.)

Q: can cannon or best buy associates please let us know the difference between 710 and 720 thanks
A: The Canon 710 has a slightly wider aperture f/3.2 vs f/3.3; the PowerShot SX720 HS has more zoom 40x vs 30x; better wide angle 24 mm vs 25 mm and slightly longer battery life 250 shots vs 230 shots.
A: Yea. I'm returning the camera because of this issue. Sometimes it will never focus, the little square will keep bouncing around and I can't get it to bracket around the subject I want to photograph. This is the Canon SX 720.
Q: What does 40 times zoom really mean? how far away can I bring something close to me?
A: I have shot pictures across a pond and unbelievable how clear they are. Also the sun and moon.
Q: I know it has android/apple connectivity but what about Windows?
A: The camera can be connected to a Windows computer. The files from the camera will show up as a drive so pictures and videos can be copied to the computer.
Q: Is the flash built in or does it have to be manually operated?
A: Must be manually operated and it pops up from the body of the camera.
Q: I just got this and am having trouble getting any clear zoom photos. Any advice?
A: Try reducing the zoom, hold it very steady and then enlarge the photo using the cropping feature in the menu.
Q: Can the canon powershot sx720 HS use a usb cable to transfer photos to a computer or photoframe?
A: You can use both option like USB and wireless to transfer your images to PC or any smart phone. For wireless, you have to be on a same wireless network to connect your camera with a PC. For USB, just download its original application and connect the camera via USB cable.
Q: how long does the rechargeable battery last when using the camera/
A: Depending on how new your battery is. I took mine to California and took pictures and video off and on all day starting with a full charge. Even took video up Hwy 1 in Malibu for 8 miles while stopping off to take pics of the ocean. I can't say an exact hour but can approximate I had it going 4 hrs total with no problems and battery still left. Note this was a new battery not one used for a year plus. All batteries lose life over time. I have purchased a back up battery since now that I have more use on mine. But still no problems - satisfied with the life of use.
