  • Canon sx20is review

    I purchased this camera a few weeks ago and even in that short time I have probably shot about 400 pictures. I am very pleased with the image quality so far. I have used some of the scene modes, landscape mode and program mode where you set the iso and the camera takes care of everything else. So far 99.5% of the pictures have come out really well. The image stabilization is a big plus - I actually took some shots from the deck of a large boat that was pitching and rolling and thought for sure I would have some blurred photos, but to my surprise, none came out blurry. In one instance I took a photo of a pair of bald eagles way up high on a cliffside(Arizona) and I could barely make out the two little specks way up there. I extended the zoom lens to full magnification(20X), focused and took the shot thinking whoa, this one isn't likely to be succesful. When I opened the photo, there was no blurring and the eagles could plainly be seen. With 12.1 megapixels I was able to enlarge the photo and see the eagles perfectly with no blurring still. It should be remembered that this is not a dslr camera and does not have a large sensor - I think the sensor is 1/2.3 inches which is quite small. This is a bridge camera, which means it has many of the control options of a dslr but does not have a large cmos sensor and lenses are not interchangeable. The two most significant factors that affect image quality are sensor size and lens quality, imho. That being said, this is an excellent camera for newbies and for intermediate level photographers who want respectable quality without breaking the bank. I am finding myself getting excited all the time when I take pictures that I don't think will look all that great, and then when I put them on my big screen monitor it's like - wow! - that really looks good! So far I have found no negatives with this camera - it's a big step up from a point and shoot.

  • Great camera.

    A real bargain. This is the last model that uses non-propietary AA batteries. The 20x zoom is superb and the image stabilization works very well. The stereo mics produce excellent sound on movie clips. The focus adjustment on the viewfinder works well for my ailing eyes. The tilt&rotate lcd panel makes shots from awkward positions easy. The moon shot is handheld at 20x optical, 4x digital.

  • Canon SX20is a great bridge camera with exceptional Low Light performance

    Excellent images and better than expected in Low Light conditions. Better than my Fujifil HS10 by far for low light and night photography. I was surprised how sharp the images are. For example full zoom shots of the moon are clear and crisp. I can easily make out craters and details. This is seriously a very good camera on a budget or for travel and day to day use. Build quality is very good. For what these go for you simply cannot go wrong.

  • Excellent camera for taking bird pictures also great low light and stabilization and zoom

    The battery door was a little tricky. The camera doesn't like to be picked up with the left hand. It is the last of these types of Cannons that use double A batteries.

  • Excellent camer

    I bought a camera like this quite a few years ago. I loved it! Unfortunately it was stolen by my boarder, Brandon Rogan. When I went to replace it, I liked the camera so much I replaced it with the same one. It takes excellent pictures, especially close ups. It has every function that I need including recording videos, and sports shots. The sound quality on videos is great, also.

  • Wonderful Gift To Myself

    I cannot express how much I love my Canon Camera it is the best. This camera is so easy to use it is amazing. I am also very happy about the great deal that I received from the E-Bay Seller where I purchased this item. Everything was pretty much set for me so all I had to do was point and snap the picture. I recommend this camera highly.

  • Excellent camera! Previously bought one of these brand new. Wanted exact replacement.

    Lots of great features. Takes regular or rechargeable batteries. As other have said - might be hard to find a battery pack in remote locations so this is ideal for vacations anywhere. Recommend getting a lens cap with a string to keep from losing it. Image stabilization works great and lets you use the max physical zoom with no issues. Lots of features. Would definitely recommend. Like it better than most current models so bought a spare one.

  • great value for a full featured camera

    This is a great camera! Price was reasonable. It is not light and compact like modern point and shoot cameras, but it is easier to hold steady for videos and that is what I use it for.
