Canon PowerShot SX720 HS Digital Camera - Black (20.3 MP)

Camera arrived on time with the tracking info. In mint condition as described and came with all accessories listed. Quality is perfect and takes the best pictures! Would recommend

I bought this camera because I wanted something pocket-sized for those occasions when I did not wish to lug around my DSLR. Also, for reasons I won't bore you with here, I have been without my DSLR during lockdown, and so have used this little Canon for all my shots. The only drawbacks for me are no RAW capture and no viewfinder. I have yet to become accustomed to looking at the back screen, particularly in bright sunlight. However, the image quality of this camera - for a small camera with a huge, 40X zoom is quite astonishing. I was quite amazed at the detail that this camera picked up at full optical zoom of the moon (see attached shots). Shooting in bright sunlight, one has to be careful not to blow out the sky and other highlights, and I have tended to shoot at - 1/3 of a stop when snapping pics on walks. When all is said and done, the optics on cameras these days is astonishing for the price. I am very happy with this purchase, and see no reason to spend another £100 on the latest model.

This is a very good camera. Excellent zoom etc If you have used a powershot before then you will find this pretty intuitive. The controls are very similar. Just bear in mind that you will probably need to buy a case for it as well as a decent memory card. I use SanDisk cards and have found them to be reliable. I would suggest a 16gb or 32gb ultra or better eg extreme. The standard Canon powershot leather case is a decent fit. Only one complaint - it does not come with a any discs or a cable to transfer photos to your pc. The discs are not a big issue - as long as you have internet access. You can easily download programs from the Canon site. The cable is more of an issue - and a failure by Canon in my opinion. This camera requires a micro HDMI to USB cable to link to a pc. All of my previous cameras used a mini HDMI to USB connection. So I have plenty of those! You will just have to look carefully to find and buy an appropriate cable if you want to download images from the camera to your pc. Not good! BTW, just to be fair, you can probably that your camera card out and insert it your pc in need. But that is far from ideal

This Compact Canon is very easy to use. I always adjust my own settings on Programme and never use Automatic and those are very easy to make. This is done by pressing the Function Set Button when the camera is switched on. The settings are then displayed and you can then scroll down and each setting in turn can be adjusted. Others have told me that when Automatic is used the quality of the photos taken is very good. Only can view display from screen at the back of camera and cannot use the viewfinder The photos have good resolution and the zoom control allows a magnification of X40 under normal conditions of focusing and even greater magnification using extra care. It fits into a small carrying case for safety and is ready to use quickly. I have found it to be very useful. .

I had recently made the mistake of ordering a cheap Chinese made digital compact camera for a forthcoming holiday, which when it arrived, was very substandard & old fashioned, so I returned it. Instead I decided to go for a good quality Canon digital camera - but as they don’t appear to be readily available in shops any longer (because of mobile phone cameras), I looked for a decent used model. I checked around and decided on this Canon SX720 because it’s a very good camera, but more importantly the seller is reputable. I was absolutely delighted when the camera arrived, it was well packaged, and it arrived two days ahead of schedule - but I was absolutely amazed and delighted at the condition of the camera as it looks brand new, there was not a mark or blemish on it and the accessories (strap, charger and lead etc) are all in A1 as new condition. What a difference a real quality camera feels like in your hands, even if pre-owned. I’ve made the right choice.

I bought this and a similar Panasonic (DMC-TZ80) for use at work. I actually intended to send one back but we couldn't decide which one was best of the two and ended up having one camera each rather than sharing one. He kept this one and I kept the Panasonic. The close-focus macro on this is incredible (practically zero focal length) and the 30x optical superzoom is simply staggering but I went with the Panasonic because the pictures are as good and the weight is significantly less. This is a HEAVY camera. It's very well made and there is a lot of lens to extend inside so it can justify the weight but I needed light more than zoom so I went with the Panasonic DMC-TZ80. This also comes with an external charger (you can also charge the battery in the camera) whereas the Panasonic just charges the battery in the camera, so you need to buy an extra charger if you want to charge the battery and take pictures at the same time.

For the last few years I've mainly been taking photos with my smartphone and occasionally with a mid range DSLR with a stock lens. I bought this camera because I wanted something with a decent optical zoom and oh my God this thing is amazing!! The picture quality is essentially indistinguishable from what my DSLR produces and yet this is compact and has 40x zoom on top. To get that with a DSLR you'd need a clunky and super expensive lens. I used to be really snobby about point and shoots but this has transformed me into an evangelist for them. I'm now convinced that for probably >90% of DSLR owners, their camera is actually superfluous and they'd be better off with something like this. There have been loads of occasions where I've not taken my DSLR because it's so big and I've been worried about it being an ostentatious target for thieves or just annoying to carry... Well will not have those concerns any more. Take the plunge, replace your DSLR because unless you're a super hardcore photographer you almost certainly don't need it!

Love this camera. Previously had a Sony DSC-HX60 which did continuous shoot, but it was very slow and once it was building the shoots you couldn't take any more, with this one hold the button done for a few seconds you get lots of pictures, release the button and it saves the photos in seconds and you can take pictures again straight away. We thought it was the SD card which was making the Sony slow, but we used the same card in this camera and there wasn't a problem The menus are really easy to navigate and I was able to connect it to my phone/ipad and upload the photos/videos really easily. It is as small as a compact camera but the photos are bright and colourful, and it focused very fast even in low light. I was impressed I was able to photograph fireworks and my son and husband on a jetski whizzing by at 40 mph from the shoreline and still have in focus shoots.

Die Camera hat sehr tolle Funktionen! Ich habe mir die Camera noch einmal gekauft! Da die andere kaputt war!

purtroppo non ha la funzione GPS, mentre la versione precedente ce l'aveva.

Bin mit dem Produkt sehr zufrieden. Auch Amazon ist perfekt. Hat schnell geliefert.

El cargador de la batería viene con enchufe de Reino Unido, ahora tendré que comprar un adaptador, y no sólo comprarlo cargar con el en los viajes.
