The PowerShot A720 IS combines an 8-megapixel CCD with a 6x optical zoom lens. The replacement for the PowerShot A710 IS has a 64mm (2.5-inch) LCD with real-image optical viewfinder (rather than electronic, thankfully). You also get 19 shooting modes including full manual control and long play VGA movies. The thinking is handled by a DIGIC III processor with face detection and red-eye correction in playback.
In a coup for the beleaguered high-street photography retailer, the PowerShot A720 IS will be available exclusively at Jessops. Pick one up from the end of August for £229.
