    I actually purchased two of these cameras, one for me and one for my sister. I bought this model as an upgrade from my 700. Zooming does cause some graininess but I am only a avid photographer.

    Camera is good. Downloading pictures and videos to computer can be challenging. Must use wi-fi. No oprions for cable and yet the camera has plugs for cable.

    It's a great camera but it's missing one key feature to keep a camera current with today. Blue tooth. Without the blue tooth it's still to combersome to share photos instanioisly. Big miss. But if that doesn't matter to you. Great camera.

    I have a big Nikon camera with all the lenses. I needed something smaller to carry so when I am in a hurry its right there. The photos turn out great!!!

    I followed the instructions that came with the camera but have never been able to set the date and time. The little size of the dial makes reading the symbols difficult. Old age eyesight doesn't help.

    This camera is the best one I have ever purchased. It is easy to use and the pictures are very clear. I enjoy taking pictures and posting them on Facebook and other social sites.

    It's a great quality camera the only thing that I don't enjoy is the battery . Battery doesn't last long, it dies to quick. Besides that it takes amazing video and pictures.

    This camera has many of the same features as my previous camera, which is what I wanted. It has more than I need, and may not be taking full advantage of all the features, but as long as I get what I want & need, that makes me happy.

    The feature of have a time date in the photo was deleted from the Canon 720HS camera. If I had known I would not have purchase the camera. What a "stupid" design change.

    This camera has just about every setting a camera buff would need but there is a rather steep learning curve. Recommend you request someone in the camera department (not the geeks) demonstrate all the possible settings.

    Purchased this for my sister and she absolutely loves it. The built in WiFi makes transferring the images off of the camera incredibly simple and convenient. It takes great pictures for the price point.

    This is a decent pocket camera. I am no expert but I did enjoy the quality and color of the photos but being that I wanted a pocketable DLSR it didn't fit the mold.

    Takes good pictures but the viewing screen has vertical lines running down it. You can't tell how the photo will turn out until it's processed.
