Canon A720, Any good? anyhting better in price range?
I see good reviews on this camera, with some complaints about noise and the clock battery.
Should I steer clear? I'm just looking for a good performer nothing special, I normally use film. Cheers |

Canon A720, Any good? anyhting better in price range?
I just purchased a Canon A720IS but have not used it yet. I have read that
there is a longer than average wait time between photos. I paid $188 Canadian for it on sale in Canada, but it's even cheaper in the US. I have a question about memory media for this camera. I bought a Dane-Elec 2GB SD Memory card for this camera online for $14.95 CDN and am waiting for it to arrive. I've read a few complaints about this card not working properly with a card reader to USB2 or with the camera itself. Has anyone any experience with using this model of memory card?

I'm just looking for a good performer nothing special, I normally use film. Cheers I use (and love) an A720. If you want to compare the image quality to a Canon EOS-1D Mark III or the Nikon D3, then it's a bit noisy at ISO 400 (maybe even 200). But, if you compare it to other point-and-shoots in its price range, you'll have a tough time finding a better deal. You can easily get 8 x 10 prints up to ISO 400, and 5 x 7 up to ISO 800. (As long as you aren't going to submit to a gallery's call for submissions.) So far, I've found the electronics to be stable, build quality quite sturdy, lens characteristics surprisingly good, and features varied enough to keep me from missing my old film SLRs too much. Good Luck, Dudley |

I don't have that particular card, but I did have problems with a 4Gig card.
I did a bit of research, and I found out that, whatever card you put into the camera, you should format it first in the camra before shooting pictures. I've done that with cards subsequent to the one I had trouble with, and everything has worked fine since. Good Luck, Dudley "homepc" wrote in message ...

My card finally arrived -- I formatted it in the camera and it works OK.
