Powerful Zoom, True-to-Life Imaging.
This high-powered 20x Wide-angle Optical Zoom with Optical Image Stabilizer reduces camera shake so you achieve magnificent images whether you are up close or far away. The PowerShot SX20 IS is equipped with a 20x Optical Zoom lens with a focal length of 5.0 - 100mm (35mm equivalent: 28 - 560mm) that allows you to shoot any scene from wide-angle to telephoto.

UD glass effectively suppresses chromatic aberration, while enhanced negative refractive power ensures that distortion at the wide-angle is also corrected. Further aberration is controlled with the in

 3rd Canon of this type July 29, 2010

Just a brief review of the 3rd Canon I have purchased. I started w/ the S5IS, then the S10IS and now the S20IS. I bought this one because it recorded video in High Def. The extra zoom and extra pixels are nice for cropping and the pop up help captions reviewing the manual functions were very useful. I am not an expert photographer, however based on the comments of many who review the pictures I keep they are amazed. I kept with the canon's because all of the accessories are compatible, very little learning curve. I never run out of fresh batteries, and the other family members love when I upgrade. It is an awesome point and shoot camera. I made the decision that we will look allot more at stills than sitting down to watch videos. So I concentrated on the picture taking and I am glad that at any second I can push the video record button and almost as much control of the video, zoom etc., as a real video camcorder. The video is more than good enough for family movies and fun caught on the spot. So if you like taking allot of pictures and your family isn't interested in learning all of the manual controls associated with this camera, this would be a great buy. I have tinkered with many of the manual settings and have caught many awesome pictures. My only beef is that the lens cap isn't connected. I fixed that myself.
only camera you'll ever need July 24, 2010

I had previously owned the SX10IS and when I saw they came out with a newer version I had to have it. I'm not a professional or even an amateur photographer; I simply take a lot of pictures of my family and I wanted a camera that was easy to use and would do the work for me so that my pictures turned out great. That is how I ended up with the SX 10IS as it did exactly this. The biggest improvement in this camera in my opinion is that it now automatically adjusts from face recognition to object recognition. So when I'm trying to get a picture of my baby's toes I don't have to manually adjust it, it does it for me now! I'm so pleased that I decided to make the investment to upgrade, it really is a great camera!

I am very pleased with my camera. It is easy to use and very portable. The only thing is that I wish the manual told you more about the settings but the manual that you can download on to your computer tells you more.
Amazing Video Quality!! July 22, 2010

I am very thrilled with this camera! I was torn between buying an individual video camera or a digital/video combination. My friend had the older version of this camera and suggested it and I am so glad she did. I am amazed by the quality of the video that it takes even in low light conditions. On my old camera the video would be so dark you could not see anything. If you are interested in a digital camera that takes great stills AND amazing video then I highly recommend this camera. The only drawback is if you are wanting to film long videos. I believe the maximum is about 25 minutes of record time. Personally I like making shorter vids anyway so 25 minutes is more than enough to meet my needs. I was also very pleased by how easy this camera is to use. Bottom line: I LOVE this camera and can't wait to take more pictures and video!
