    I bought this camera for my family trip to London and Paris. I played around with the settings and managed to take great pictures of people, buildings, and other types of scenery.

    Nice and small when a bigger camera is too big.

    I have a bigger and heavier camera, but sometimes it is too big to travel with. The camera us an excellent pocket camera. The features are extensive and the quality of the photos is quite good.

    I am an amateur photographer first of all. I wanted a small camera but needed better than what my phone camera could offer me. This one does the job nicely. I like the zoom capabilities.

    This small, but mighty cam takes great pics and the zoom is unbelievably clear! Plus you can transfer your pics as you take them to your phone via Bluetooth!! Love it.

    The Canon - Power Shot SX720 HS 20.3-Megapixel Digital Camera is compact yet powerful with it's 40x zoom, and fully automatic focus mode. It allows me to be creative with my picture taking without lugging around a lot of equipment.

    Love the camera, easy to use. Took it to Paris 1 week after purchase and the photos are amazing! My only issue is the WIFI function, It works when Im home but would not connect anywhere else. I still give the camera 2 thumbs up!

    I am happy with the zoom but a little hard to hold steady at full zoom especially when shooting a video. Only negative thing I have found so far is I can't shoot a still while taking a video like my old Sony camera.

    Note: With the 40 power zoom it is hard to focus that far away hand-held, that being said, the picture quality is extremely good for basically a point and shoot camera.
