Thoughts on the A720 IS ?

[Amphibious]

I have a chance to pick up a new Canon A720 IS at a great price, and as I'm in the market for a new cam, thought I'd check with the DB photo Guru's first.

anyone use one? how does it preform with a housing in the water?

thanks

haven't used the A series canons, but they get good reviews for what they are. If you can afford it get a camera that allows you to shoot RAW format - it gives you so much more capability for post-editing and therefore getting 'better' images and also for 'saving' images that would otherwise be lost.
Canon G9 is very worthy.
