xnview (http://www.xnview.com/) solves the issue with the Canon A720 IS. Batch conversion for recompressing JPEGs works and results in images that can be displayed on the A720 IS.

Canon Powershot A720 IS seems to be incompatible with recent Imagemagick (kubuntu 7.10). So far only digikam can recompress jpegs compatible with the A720 IS. KIPI-plugins don´t work, so no batch-processing is possible.
Fine work from you, Canon!

I managed to copy back edited images to the camera (using memory card reader), although I didn’t find out how to embed EXIF thumbnail into newly created images.

Not all image editing softwares can make JPEGs compatible with the A720 camera.
- Irfanview: creates incompatible JPEG.
- Paint Shop Pro X2: A720 can read the images saved with default settings, but doesn’t support progressive JPEG and certain chroma subsamplings.
- Imagemagick: incompatible.
- Paint.NET: compatible.

You should also make sure that the width and the height of the images are the multiple of 8.

so the software sompatibility is sucks, I’m not able to copy some photos back to my memory card what is inside the camera; is it a serial problem, or only my chinese camera has that problem?

Canon A720 has 6X optical zoom not 4X as you stated.
