Canon PowerShot A20 2 Megapixel Compact Camera -...Strengths: Great picture quality, great price for the money(even at $275 2 years ago), accessories are plentiful and with in a reasonable price range and so easy to use! Canon has a superior product here. Weakness: until recent update from canon the manual setting almost always took pictures that were "soft" and out of focus, since recent update the pics are great! It will be the 3rd christmas I have had this camera and I am just now thinking of updating to this camera's big brother the powershot a70 because I have gotten so into photography with this excellent camera that I want all the options the a70 has, but this camera would be excellent for any beginner or a experienced 35mmer that wishes to get into digital. You will love this camera!

Canon PowerShot A20 2 Megapixel Compact Camera -...Strengths: Great picture Quality, Great features, Easy to use, Great first digital camera. Weakness: Eats batteries-not a problem with Nimh batteries/recharger. The push-button doesn't allow for very quick picture taking (i.e action shots), but isn't bad if you focus it first. Needs bigger CF card. A great first digital camera (mine, as a matter of fact) that has many simple features and uses much a like real point and shoot. It has enough settings that you can play with that make it feel like you are doing some of the manual photography. This camera takes the clearest, most vibrant pictures I have ever seen and I am totally impressed. I got mine for $200 last summer at K-mart that was...

Canon PowerShot A20 2 Megapixel Compact Camera -...Strengths: Durable case, excellent pictures, easy controls. Weakness: Like to see a hotshoe for attaching larger flash. I bought rechargeable batteries and an 128 MB card. I get around 450 pictures at the highest setting from the batteries before I have to recharge.

Canon PowerShot A20 2 Megapixel Compact Camera -...Strengths: great picture quality and excellent software. Weakness: it's a point and shoot so don't expect lots of manual settings. A definite must for your first digital. So easy to use you will never go back to regular film again. Buy at least a 64meg Compact Flash card and run it at the highest resolution for best picture quality. NiHM batteries are a must so factor that into the cost when purchasing. I actually prefer Photo Lithium myself, they are not rechargable but they last very long and make a great back up set when...

Canon PowerShot A20 2 Megapixel Compact Camera -...Strengths: Excellent Camera and the price is great! If you want a nice beginning camera, the Canon A20 is an excellent choice. Weakness: Like most reviews, I agree with the battery life. I went out and bought a charger and 8 batteries. This way, you will always have charged batteries and will save yourself a lot of cash and frustration This is one of the best cameras for the money. I have done a lot of research and the A20 wins hands down. Here's a nice tip. Go to ebay and you can purchase a lense adapter, telephoto lense, wide angle/macro lense for $70.00. Nice addition to a great camera. The images are amazing!

Canon PowerShot A20 2 Megapixel Compact Camera -...Strengths: Easy to use, dummy-proof, great picture quality. Weakness: ? The A20 gets a bad rap for using batteries, but we use the NiMH batteries (rechargeable) and are able to take about 90 high-res pictures between charges. We disable the display and use it like a normal camera. After the picture is taken, it shows you the picture in the display, so it's a piece of cake to tell if you like the picture or not. We recently went skiing, and took pictures everyday for...

Canon PowerShot A20 2 Megapixel Compact Camera -...Strengths: Great quality, easy to use, nice features. Great documentation, good software, good button placement, and nice easy to use zoon buttons. Weakness: Battery life stinks on Alkaline. Get NiMH rechargeables. Great battery life on those. I have taken lots of shots with flash and connected it to my computer many times on just one charge. I love this camera. It is my first digital and it is all I hoped for. I love the button placement on this camera. I can hold the camera with one hand, and the only button on top is the shutter. With a 64 mb cf card, it holds tons of pictures. The zoom is great, and the menu system is intuitive and easy to navigate. You can also connect the camera to a TV for taking pictures and replay. If you buy...

Canon PowerShot A20 2 Megapixel Compact Camera -...Strengths: absolutely fabulous shots... excellent battery life, if you use nimh rechargeables.. I am getting at least 200 shots per charge , on rechargeable energizer NiMh batteries. Excellent manual mode Weakness: none that i can think of. would be nice if it had a video mode, or came with a case. i am totally satisfied with this camera. if you are considering the canon A20, I would highly recommend it. I read numerous reviews of this camera on the net, and found all of them to be outstanding. I paid $325 for mine at circuit city. You will need to get rechargeable batteries, and a larger CF card, but other than that, you are ready to go. The camera also has a very solid, high quality feel to it, and has a great automatic lens...

Canon PowerShot A20 2 Megapixel Compact Camera -...Strengths: Easy to use, Weakness: For entry level camera, no weakness. The size is a little bit big and the weight also. Only a 8MB CF card comes with the camera Very easy to use. No.1 choice for entry level camera. Use 4 AA battery, if use NiMH rechargeable battery. You will save a lot $ buying batteries. Good bundled software. Need to buy a 32MB or up CF card to store pictures. The image quality is really good, highly recommend. Next camera, I will choose CANON POWERSHOT G2.

Canon PowerShot A20 2 Megapixel Compact Camera -...
Strengths: It kind of works at night time, in closed surroundings. Transfer to PC is fairly easy.
Weakness: There is overexposure in this camera. In day time pictures, in any setting you can place the camera in, the whole picture comes entirely WHITE.
The overexposure is a big problem. In fact it makes this camera entirely useless for me. I am not sure I would get Canon products again, since I have such a bad experience with this one.
