Bought this to replace another make that broke. First real use was at the Daytona 500. Great pictures.

I just purchased this camera and have been toying around with it in the house and so far the picture quality has been great! The auto is a little to vivid for my liking, so I just change to custom and turn the color to natural. The zoom is great and easy to focus when you zoom fast. The real test will be when I attend concerts, how well the low lighting shots will turn out! Can't wait to test it out some more

In today's economic atmosphere, it's hard to find a good value for your dollar. I don't know about you, but it seems manufacturers of products and service providers are gradually cutting back here and there, never dropping their prices. It seems we are gradually getting less of something, while constantly paying more. Enter the Canon SX20.

This is where cutbacks stop and value for your dollar goes through the roof. Ten years ago you'd only dream of having a compact still camera that takes quality pictures like this along with pure, crisp, sharp, and great sounding HD video! Easy to use, although a little bulky, it has a solid feel in the hands and takes fantastic telephoto shots! A couple of drawbacks are the continuous photo option which snaps pictures at a measly 1 per second, and the fact that a full users manual in print is not included in the package (however a pdf format on disc is included, and we all have computers nowadays don't we?).

My friends and I used to judge our digital cameras on how well they could take a night shot of the moon. Generally, all we'd get is a bright white spot. With the SX20, you'll be amazed at what the moon can look like! Blow up your shots, and you might even see some inhabitants!

Made in Japan, and as usual a leader in quality, Canon once again does not disappoint!

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.

Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5 Drop frames at 720p but a good camera overall, 2010-03-11
I have had the camera since December 2009. I own a Powershot 510 and enjoy using rechargeable AA batteries. I needed a bigger zoom to shoot birds down by the pond. I am happy with the zoom and the wide angle for interior shots. I use a tripod for the long shots but have had some success with full zoom hand-held shots.

But since I use MS Movie Maker I was disappointed to find out that Microsoft doesn't support the .mov movie file type so I had to buy other video software. I also have notice in 720p the camera drops frames. I bought a high speed SD card, 30meg/sec, and it didn't help.

I haven't contacted Canon yet, I hope there might be a firmware or something I can do since 720p was primary in my purchase requirements.

Overall the wide angle and zoom while shooting movies is good. I have owned Canons since my first AE-1 back in 1980.

Does anyone have any ideas on the drop frame?
