Hold that thought Ronnie,I am going to get one tomorrow for 100 bucks that has never been used,the seller uses the Iphone and is not a big Camera person They told me.
I have read some reviews and they seem to be a decent camera with the usual flaws like most do..:)


The above was written as part of an attempt to waste time.

Thanks. I have a G16, which I love, but was interested in the super lens on the 720.

Façade of Orvieto Cathedral with a Canon SX280HS, I now have the 710 and it is a lot better. These were 75 yd. away and hand held.

Two others from the same spot showing further detail. From the distance in looking at the entire façade I didn't notice the face was a mosaic.
