    We own an older Cannon Power Shot with lower megapixel and zoom that we love. It takes fantastic pictures in low light situations, which is our favorite aspect. It also focuses fairly quickly. Unfortunately, the Sx720 doesn't match up on either of these points. It was explained to us that the CMOS program, which is what adjusts the picture in low light situations differs from camera to camera. Accordingly, we can't expect the same performance from the same mfgr on different cameras. As to the slower focus time, it was explained that larger zoom lenses increases the focus time. Before buying this camera, you might want to determine your needs for the larger zoom and compare different models and mfgrs, especially for low light pictures.

    Good for someone who is knowledgeable with cameras and difficult for someone who isn't. With the additional gadgets and adjustments made it difficult to operate, resize, crop, upload and edit photos to post on internet. I have to say the picture quality is very good, but I spent more time with this camera than with a point and shoot.
