That's right!

I know this is one of those burning issues that people just can't make up
their minds on. Which camera takes better pics, the Canon A720 or the Nikon
D3?

Or, is there yet an unidentified contender out there that can kick both of
these apertures?

I'll post the entries, without EXIF data or any other hints on my site.

What will be the deciding factor, the camera or the photog?

Good Luck,

There is no difference cant believe what camera is being used if there is no
EXIF files .. treat the D3 pics on here as pure fabrication

The D3 takes better pictures. The A720 blows out the highlights. But, at $250 it does have a good macro mode, and thats why I
have one.

Cheers

I find that if you dial down the exposure compensation by about 2/3 stops,
it does pretty good.

Also, the flexi-zone spot metering is a nice feature, but I've got a bit of
a problem using that particular mode in most cases.

Take Care,
