Fine and simple camera to use.

As a film camera buff for many years I finally went digital. I really like this camera and especially its auto-focus feature. I have difficulty seeing and this takes the guess work out of focusing.
A great camera!

I'm heading out soon for my 5th embed in Afghanistan and this should be the perfect camera. In the past few days I've taken 500+ photos and am totally impressed by the ease of operability and clarity of photos. On "sports" mode, I can be taking photos as I walk; the 'movie' mode is awesome, and even the night shots are remarkably clear and crisp (like an Afghan evening!)
Yes, it would have been nice for Canon to include their 180 page manual, but frankly I got enough info from their little pamphlet to get me started. Then I downloaded the manual to my laptop, so I've got it if I need it.
This should be a better camera than the usual SLR; no lenses to change in adverse conditions, and no bulky lenses to carry. Hint: buy decent rechargeable battery set; you'll be taking a lot of picts with this camera!
Now I'll really be able to 'get the word out'. S/F

Very easy to use. My only complaint is that the instruction manual is on a disc which can be downloaded to a computer, but with no printed manual, looking up something on the fly is impossible. I was able to print the manual (4 pages on an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet) and that can fit into my camera bag (folded). It is a chore to do, however. The small wheel on the back of the camera can sometimes be accidentally turned while searching for buttons, but not a big problem. Picture quality is VG for an entry camera and the 20x zoom is great. All in all, well worth the price.
this camera is awesome!

I am so happy with this purchase. I don't need to go see a professional photographer anymore for photos of my children. No more spending HUNDREDS of dollars at a professional anymore. I can do it right in my own home for lots less! This camera does it all. beautiful, clear, crisp pictures!
AND, I was in the process of buying my first home, I went to see my dream house three hours away. because of this camera, I was able to see the peak of the roof on the third floor so closely that I felt like I could reach out and touch it while standing on the ground. I saw every imperfection of this "dream house". I decided it needed to much work and it wasn't worth the money they were asking for it. Thanks so much Canon for helping me with a major financial decision! I did not buy that house. If I had and later found out it needed all those repairs I'd be in debt forever!
Well worth the money!!! I love this camera!!
Loved it

I love my Canon SX20IS, my first megazoom camera. It takes awesome pics and ease of use is good. Auto mode is good for most cases. Mega Zoom works good. Photography for me is m babies photo. And i love when i get cute pictures from this camera. still learning about features it has and Video quality is again very good and you can zoom in and out during recording. In-House shots are also awesome.
