Zoom is Everything!
I was hesitant to order a used camera but this camera is amazing. Looks brand new. Works great! Takes beautiful pictures. With the exception of the camera pictures the nature photos were taken with this camera. I am really impressed and enjoying it. The pigeons and tree were taken at full optical zoom.My only complaint is paying so much for a camera that’s so old. I guess it’s a matter of “supply and demand “Anyway in my opinion it’s a great purchase! WiFi connection was easy and convenient.

A great, small point and shoot camera with amazing optical zoom
A great ultra-zoom camera. I've used it for many different events... family vacations, weddings, bicycle touring, fishing, nature photography, landscape photography, architectural photography. It does it all. And it does it really great too for such a small and lightweight camera.Picture quality is pretty good for a it's sensor size. You can probably get better better picture quality from your iPhone. But with it's 40x optical zoom, a smartphone can't compete. Sure, I could grab my Nikon P950 for it's zoom capabilities, but it's HUGE compared to this SX720.This Canon SX720 is my go to camera for most of my casual events. It's pocket sized and doesn't interfere when taking candid photos. Battery life is great. Videos are fairly stable. It's automatic functions are good and you have all of the abilities to manually set shutter speed, aperture and ISO. Even manual focus is available for combine photo stacking.What a great point and shoot camera!

Great Photos and Sharing
Great PhotosThis is my third Canon point and shoot, and I am not at all disappointed so far. The second in the PowerShot SX...HS line. My previous SX260 HS is still going strong -- though scuffed up from heavy use. I will miss the built-in GPS feature of my previous Canon, but since it didn't work indoors anyway, I won't miss it that much. I bought this model to go from 20x to 40x zoom. The wide-angle is 24mm equiv. full telephoto is 960mm equiv. (which on a DSLR that would be a VERY BIG lens). ( For comparison only - the 20x zoom of the SX260 HS was 25mm equiv. to 500mm equiv. both have the same sensor size) The 40x is a tiny bit wider and way closer, so it isn't twice as close as my old camera (more like 1.9 times closer at max zoom). The 20 MegaPixel rating doesn't change the actual output resolution much. Max Res on this camera is 5184 x 3888 (compared to 4000x3000 on the SX260 at 12MP). I attached a comparative max zoom to this and my review on the SX260 HS. Canon PowerShot SX260 HS 12.1 MP CMOS Digital Camera with 20x Image Stabilized Zoom 25mm Wide-Angle Lens and 1080p Full-HD Video (Black) (OLD MODEL)I plan to do some low-light shot comparisons soon.SharingMaybe I'm weird, but I often find myself photographing something really cool and taking photos, and then pulling out my smart phone to take a smart-phone picture that I can share immediately. Maybe it's not as good as the one I took a minute ago (for one thing, the zoom just isn't there). No need anymore. Just tap the back of a smartphone to the side of the SX720, and 30 seconds later, I have a list of photos on the camera that I can copy over to my phone. Select, Menu (to signal I'm done selecting), OK, Confirm screen: OK again, and the selected images appear on my phone.From there, I can e-mail or post to social media without compromising on quality.SHARING UPDATEAt some point, someone at Canon decided to make the ability to transfer photos to a computer over WiFi (on your own wireless network) dependent upon being able to log into Canon's servers with a (free) account. The cell-phone stuff still works (thankfully), but I've removed the Canon software from my computer. The original software didn't require a Canon account, and I honestly have a hard time understanding why local network connectivity should require this. I haven't removed stars, but I use an SD card reader to pull photos to my PC now.The very initial setup did take some time. There's a sweet spot on most smart-phones that are not obvious (the sweet spot on the camera, is clearly etched into the side). Once that was found, everything else was set up within about 15 minutes. There are tutorials on Canon's web site and YouTube if you want someone to show you.I didn't really consider this feature deeply when I pre-ordered this camera, and I've been surprised that it is already a game-changer for me.

Malfunctioning after less than 6 months
I got this camera in July. My lens will not retract without an error sign which I dealt with but yesterday the pictures started to have a black blurry line on the bottom. The lens is focusing on something that is not the subject of the pictures and all the pictures are turning out blurry. Idk what to do. The camera was not cheap and I need it for work but have no recourse.
