sevetothemax from MO Member Since: May 2005 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 6 Months	Canon Powershot SD20 Strengths: Small, lightweight, great macro mode, can customize the operation sounds and start-up image Weaknesses: Zoom causes fuzziness, can't take the clock off of military time, gets me in trouble at work. Summary: I love this little thing. It is so small, especially after carrying around a (what i thought was bulky) Kodak EasyShare. It fits very nicely into my pocket which is a big big plus to me, as i like to carry it around with me wherever i go. It is so light and small that if it weren't for the small grey lanyard hanging out of my pocket i wouldn't even remember it is with me half the time. It takes very nice very large pictures, and i have had a ton of fun with the macro mode (a mode that, to my knowledge, was not on my EasyShare). It takes pretty good videos, holds alot of pictures on the 512mb card i had purchased for my EasyShare (Both take SD). I kind of wish the zoom was optical instead of digital. The pictures taken with the zoom always look real nice on the LCD screen, but when blown up on a computer they are very pixelated. But because it takes such large pictures i can easily just crop out whatever i wanted to zoom in on and it is generally a good decent size, not pixelated and anyone who doesn't know will be none the wiser. I really enjoy customizing the start-up image and sound as well as the shutter sound and self-timer sound. I don't use the operation sound. It can get pretty annoying after so long. When my camera goes "BONK!" as the shutter goes off it makes for some pretty fun pictures. I am going to be serving a mission for 2 years in Ukraine, and i am sure that this little baby will suit me nicely over there. Small enough to not be bulky and cumborsom. High enough quality, long enough battery life (It'll last me about a day of solid picture taking). I plan on buying an extra battery and a 1gb memory card before i leave, though. This camera was reccomended to me by a good friend. My brother has fallen in love with it enough for me to buy him one as a gift. Several friends at my place of employment have enjoyed playing with it so much they either hope to buy one someday or wish that they had gotten one of these instead of their 7 megapixel cameras they got for their wedding. 100% of People (2/2) found this review helpful.

Strengths: 5MP, stylish, pocket-size, slow shutter speed control Weaknesses: No optical zoom and short battery life Summary: I received this camera from my boyfriend as a Christmas gift last year. It is so tiny, stylish, and weightless. It has 5.0 Mega-Pixels, which give good picture quality. This camera has a nice screen on the back, and it only has few buttons, which is good for girls who do not like complication. It comes with a cute carrying case and a 32 MB SD card, which is kind small. I upgrade mine to 1 GB, so I do not have to worry about running out of memory ever. I am going to buy a backup battery pack soon because the battery life seems a little short for me. Again, this camera is so small and it does not take much space in your pocket. It is like another cellular phone; just do not answer it when your phone rings. I love to carry this camera around to take photos whenever and wherever I want. I highly recommended this camera, Canon SD20, to people who do not really care about optical zoom. 100% of People (2/2) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you?

psincubus Member Since: Jun 2005 View Member's: Reviews	Midnight Blue SD20 Strengths: small, fast shooting, easy to carry Weaknesses: no optical zoom Summary: This is one of the smallest cameras I have ever seen. Not only is it small, but it also takes fast pictures. The picture quality is excellent at 5 megapixels, and it has all the options of the bigger models. This camera is the perfect camera to carry everywhere with you. The blue color is very nice. I also have the garnet version but I'd have to say the blue is nicer. A must own. 100% of People (1/1) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate. There are no comments for this review. Post a comment.

Strengths: size, ease to use, video clips Weaknesses: zoom, battery Summary: The canon Powershot Elph SD20 is very small and comes in a case, cellphone-like. Wherever you go, you can shot pictures at any time. I already replaced the 32Mo original SD card with a 1Go. I made a video of a full karaoke song. The sound is really good through a sound system. Do not expect much from the buil-in speaker. Pictures come very nice, it is a 5.0 Mpixel! The use is intuitive and very user-friendly. My 2 regrets: - Zoom is digital only and not very good, so you have to get very close your subjects. - Battery is quickly down. At least you can carry the micro charger in your pocket too. 86% of People (6/7) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate.

Strengths: Size, portability, ability to give pretty good point and shoot photos, not much shutter lag, flash doesn't blow out whites like other digital point and shoots I've seen. Weaknesses: Would like the LCD to be a big larger, but can't have both small size & huge LCD (the existing screen takes up most of the back anyway). Have to go through menus on LCD to change almost all functions. Summary: This is a great small camera for when I don't want to bring my 20D everywhere. Obviously, not the funtionality or versatility, but wonderful 5 MP file size and good array of options made this a good choice for me. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you?
