I have a trip planned to the Holy Land and wanted a camera with good zoom. I believe this will handle my needs but can report more after this trip.
As of now, the only change I could suggest is some way to make a more sturdy lens cover or one that could be attached to some type cord. This may be the first thing I loose.

Highlight areas all over exposed. Sub par color saturation/balance and contrast lead to flat looking images in what should be great lighting situations. Disappointed -bought and returned.

I received this three days ago and have used it ever since! I LOVE IT!!! It is by far excellent quality HD still pictures. It is simple to use and provides professional quality pictures. I am still trying to figure out the video and other features of he camera; but it’s fairly straight forward to use just out of the box! BUY THIS CAMERA, YOU WILL BE PLEASED AT THE RESULTS!!!!

I purchased the SX20 last week and was shocked to find out it had no paper advanced instruction manual – just a CDrom. I love my instruction books and usually carry these with me always with my camera. I have had a few Canon and have always been happy with their products. I am not much of a computer person – just transfer my pictures to my I-Photo on my Mack for printing. I may return this product only because of the lack of a manual.

Just bought this 3 weeks ago and on numerous occasions it makes ticking noises, shakes, vibrates, and other strange internal noises. Is anyone else having similar experiences with this camera?
