You can do better for the moneyLong story short, if you need a ton of zoom in a small package the older Canon PowerShot SX710 HS, Nikon Coolpix S9900, and Panasonic Lumix ZS60 are all better values than the SX720 HS. You may drop from a 40x zoom down to 3...
I'm not convinced that the 40x zoom is a big asset compared to the 30x and smaller zooms in other pocket ultra-zoom cameras. Personally, I'd much rather have a Panasonic FZ330 (or its more affordable predecessor, the FZ200) with its 24x zoom and constant...

In one sense the PowerShot SX720 HS offers plenty because of its significant lens properties, plus the likes of 1080p movie recording at 60fps. In another sense it's a long way behind the likes of the Panasonic TZ80 because there's no touchscreen and no b...
No 4K video, Minimal manual options, No touchscreen display, Not weather-sealed
Small but mighty.Anyone who thinks good things can't come in small packages has clearly never taken the SX720 HS for a spin. It's not going to blow you away, but during testing, we came to love the versatility in such a compact form factor. At a time whe...
Great optical zoom lens measurement at 40X, Very thin camera that's easy to fit in a pocket, 20MP image quality is adequate when shooting in good lighting conditions, Good autofocus speeds versus its peers, LCD screen is sharp and bright
Price is a little high versus other point and shoot cameras, Burst modes are somewhat limited by a small camera buffer, Camera buttons are too small to be used comfortably, Maximum ISO setting of 3200 equals a camera that struggles in low light, Some prob
Although thin fixed lens cameras have been declining in popularity in recent years, they continue to showcase constantly improving feature sets. The Canon SX720 HS is the latest of these powerful thin cameras. As shown in my Canon PowerShot SX720 review...

Lacks a viewfinder, Lacks a touchscreen, Lacks RAW shooting, Poor AF in low light when zoomed in.
Canon's PowerShot SX720 HS is the company's flagship pocket super-zoom camera, boasting nothing less than a 40x optical zoom. It shares the same 20 Megapixel resolution and 1080 / 60p movie mode as its predecessor, the SX710 HS, but extends the optical zo...
Canon's SX range of travel compact cameras have long been popular, and with merit because they've been well crafted. The Canon PowerShot SX720 HS continues that tradition, housing a market-leading 40x optical zoom in a slim and sleek body design, which i...
Abstract: The Canon SX720 is capable of continuous shooting bursts of up to 5.9 shots/second, which lowers to 4.6 shots/sec while utilizing continuous AF. Still image aspect ratios offered are 16:9, 3:2, 4:3 and 1:1. Full HD video is offered in both 30p and 60p for...
Lots of manual controls, Powerful 40x zoom lens, Wide angle view (24mm), Macro focus as close as 1 cm, High image quality overall, Full HD video, Dial eases menu navigation, Fast burst shooting, Attractive digital filters, In bright light, tracking AF is
AF can be unreliable at max. zoom, No RAW mode, Max. shutter speed of 15 seconds (no bulb), Tracking AF had difficulty in shadows, At full zoom, AF can be unreliable, Low light image quality could be better, Seek assist feature is not extremely helpful, L
The SX710 packed an impressive 30x optical zoom into its petite frame, which is now bested by more than 10x with the SX720's new 40x optical zoom lens. This new lens covers and equivalent zoom range of 24-960mm, which Canon claims makes the SX720 HS a goo...
