The Powershot A720 is a bit different compared to the IXUS 70; it runs on Canon's own DRYOS (instead of Windriver's VxWorks), it runs on regular AAA batteries, and it loads the CHDK firmware only on boot. So one has to make the SD card bootable in order that the DISKBOOT.BIN file get loaded.
And the image sensor seems to be of higher quality.
