Canon PowerShot SX20IS Digital Camera. I have had this camera for an year, I am not a professional photographer, but this camera has grown my interest in photography even more, some of the plus points about this camera, even if you zoom to a long distance, as long as you keep your hands steady or use a tripod, the image quality will still be great unlike few other cameras who offer good zoom but when you increase the zoom the quality of the image gets deteriorated. I also love its image quality for photos taken at night. Try experimenting with its vivid colors, sepia and black and white mode, and of course the fireworks, they are amazing. it is little heavy but if you wear it around your neck or use a tripod you can take perfect photos, right now I am using it’s manual mode and will switch over to an SLR after a year or two, but this will always be my first love. I checked out the SX30is, did not like it as much as this one. Only thing I wish it had rechargeable Li ion battery like my another cannon rather than the AA batteries. So far I would say with my 1 year experience with this camera, this is the best one can have as a powershot if you want better than this will have to aim for an SLR . Customer Review by Chandubabu.
