 Love the quality of the photos September 9, 2010

I bought this camera to take on a vacation to Europe and I love the quality and sharpness of the pictures. I was not disappointed. This was a once in a lifetime trip and I'm thrilled with the memories captured with this camera. The only thing I would change would be the lens cover. I wish it was attached to the camera so when you take it off, it wasn't easily misplaced or lost. It is designed to clip on the neck strap and it falls off easily.
Excellent out of box, very good customer service September 9, 2010

I spent a long time looking at cameras and reviews at Amazon and elsewhere before I decided on the SX20 IS. I wanted excellent quality pictures and wide angle capability so I could take pictures of the Grand Canyon on my vacation. I didn't have much time to learn the camera before the trip, so having a camera that was easy to use--and that performed well on "auto"--was important to me. I also wanted a camera I could grow into, one that offered a lot of manual settings that I could learn how to use later on. I was impressed that the Canon SX20 IS could accomodate a polaroid filter. (A filter adaptor ring for this camera is sold by Lensmate at[...] This was also one of the few cameras available in this category with both a viewfinder and LCD screen. The heft of the camera and the size of the controls were pluses as well, since my husband and I both have large hands. I was very pleased with the pictures I took (mostly with the "auto" feature) as well as the videos. I was also impressed with Canon's customer service . I needed help on two occasions for "problems" that required more knowledge of the camera than I had when I called customer service. Both times I was able to reach a customer service representative quickly, and got the help I needed. What I wish I would have known ahead of time: a camera in the "travel camera" category would not have had the features I wanted, but it would have been a little easier to lug on hikes.
Great Second or third Camera for travel August 31, 2010

I must first say that except for a Fuji point and shoot, all my cameras are Canon so I may sound a bit like a Canon commercial but I really like this camera. I purchased this camera as an upgrade to my S5IS. I am planning a cruise and am always afraid to take my DSLR cameras and lenses with me for fear of loss or theft and because of weight restrictions on the plane. I used the S5IS on a trip to Bermuda and was thrilled with the results. I created a DVD slide presentation and even on a 50 in HDTV, the shots were fantastic. This camera produces even better pictures, 12 megapixels as apposed to 8 for the S5IS and a 20 times optical zoom as compared with 12 for S5IS. The SX20IS has better video, more features, and a much better zoom. I was amazed with the first shots I took and even when using the digital zoom, the noise was very tolerable and easily fixed with a good photo program. Using the digital zoom, I printed great 4 X 6 prints that were clear and sharp. I also have a Canon G10, a Canon T1i with an 18 -270 Tamaron lens, and a Canon XTI with a Sigma 18 - 200 lens. When I compared the quality of photos between the these cameras and the SX20IS the DSLR did win but not by that much. For the price, the SX20IS will be a great camera to take on a trip where space and weight are of a concern. I recommend this camera to anyone who wants an upper end quality point and shoot camera.
 Bad Camera August 30, 2010

I bought this camera in November of 2009 and 8 months later, the thing was eating my batteries like crazy. I would place a new set of batteries in and the camera immediately tells me they are bad and needs to be changed when the batteries are brand new! Would not recommend buying this camera!

I am very pleased with its features and my results thus far. Two things to be aware of however. There are no actual filter threads (Canon says the lens construction doesn't permit them) and the owner's manual is on a disc. I'd like to see a printed manual offered at least as an added purchase item. There's a lot to know to take full advantage of its potential. I have found that a 52mm filter thread will work, but it does not thread on smoothly nor all the way in. It is a secure fit however.
