Camera Labs – Canon PowerShot SX20 IS review
Canon’s PowerShot SX20 IS delivers a number of minor but mostly useful enhancements to its predecessor, and therefore makes a best-seller an even more compelling prospect. Of the new upgrades, the most welcome is without a doubt the inclusion of HD video recording, while along with an HDMI port better completes the overall feature-set. But arch rival Panasonic hasn’t stood still with its... Top

Canon PowerShot SX20 IS Review
At first glance, the Canon PowerShot SX20 IS doesnt seem to bring much more to the table than its predecessor, the PowerShot SX10 IS. Same size, same 20x zoom range, same 2.5 inch articulating LCD. The SX20 IS isnt a sweeping remake of the existing model. Instead, it offers valuable incremental improvements to an already capable platform. Top

Canon PowerShot SX20 IS Review
Canon's latest super zoom, the PowerShot SX20 is mostly an incremental improvement over last year's model, including a higher resolution 12-megapixel sensor and a 720p HD movie mode. What hasn't changed is the Canon SX20's extreme image-stabilized 20x zoom that ranges from 28-560mm equivalent, a 2.5-inch articulating LCD, and stereo recording. In our testing, we were particularly impressed with... Top

Canon PowerShot SX20 IS
THE GOOD: Solid battery life; articulating LCD; comfortable shooting design; can zoom during movie capture; ; hot shoe; exceptionally close macro focus. THE BAD: Slower than its predecessor overall; no raw support; images soft and noisy as low as ISO 80. THE BOTTOM LINE: The Canon PowerShot SX20 IS is a solid, but not standout, megazoom option for the money. Top

Great camera, bad documentation
Strengths: Big zoom, big megapixels, compact size, great firepower.
Weakness: No paper manual. This is a real problem.
Missed a bunch of school reunion pics today because of no paper manual. I couldn't figure out how to get the flash to work. For 20 years, through several film and digital Canon cameras, to deploy the flash, you push the flash button. After repeated presses of the button, still no flash. Camera unusable in the low light situation.
1st thing on arriving home, I consult the computerized manual. Right away I find that the flash must be physically lifted and the flash button selects various flash functions. A paper manual would have made it possible to get these once in a lifetime images. Thanks, Canon for leaving a loyal customer in the dark!
