These issues are all the more pressing in a compact-shaped camera. Cramming a 40x zoom into a camera that’s just 38mm thick can’t be easy, or else everyone would be doing it. It remains to be seen whether Canon’s move to 40x is based on technical progress...

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...

Ah, the compact superzoom. Over the years they've got smaller yet, somehow, have managed to cram more and more features in. In the case of the Canon PowerShot SX720 HS it's all about the zoom - 40x optical zoom, no less. Which is quite a feat. In the han...

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...

Like most point and shoots, the SX720 HS has a fixed 3-inch, 922k-dot LCD on the back. It does its job, but unless you have the brightness turned all the way up, it can be tough to see in bright daylight. You can get away with tilting the camera downward...

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...
