Key Advantages

The Stylus 720 SW offers exceptional durability with its waterproof, shockproof, and freezeproof construction, ideal for outdoor and underwater photography. Its compact and lightweight design makes it highly portable. The 7.1MP sensor delivers good image quality for its class, and its 3x optical zoom provides flexible framing options. The camera is easy to use with intuitive controls and a clear LCD interface. Battery life is solid, supporting extended shooting sessions. Its compatibility with xD-Picture Cards allows for reliable and fast storage of digital images.

Limitations

The fixed lens range limits its versatility compared to cameras with greater zoom capabilities. The ISO sensitivity maxes out at 400, which can restrict low-light performance resulting in some image noise. The 2.5-inch LCD is relatively small by modern standards, affecting detailed image review. Video recording is either limited or absent, reducing multimedia functionality. Its sensor size is modest compared to contemporary models, limiting dynamic range and detail in images. Being a discontinued model, spare parts and support may be difficult to find.
