If anybody here is really want to get a better product at a much less price just search in Amazon "Canon PowerShot SX20IS" and you can find amy dealers selling Canon PowerShot SX20IS 12.1MP Digital Camera with 20x Zoom which is the next to next generation of this model....

 Cannon purchaseNov 27, 2009
The service was excellent. Received the camera faster than I thought I would. Only problem is that the view finder is blurred so not sure what the problem is. Gonna have it checked out. Pictures do come out clear.
The best digital camera I have ever had.Nov 13, 2009
This is an outstanding camera. It is so easy to use. The picture quality is excellent. I am very satisfy with it. The only thing that is not so good about it is that the shutter is a little slow. You have to wait a few seconds before you can shoot another one. But I solved this problem by using the Sport/Action Mode.

 Great Little Camera!Nov 12, 2009
This camera is great. I wanted something between an SLR and a small point and shoot so that I could easily take photos for my blogs that were high quality without having to lug around slr equipment.
This camera is great! While the automatic settings are nice, the manual settings are wonderful. I can manually adjust ISO and other features so that my photos come out right for every room and occassion.
There is some noise, but generally, it doesn't bother me. I don't plan on blowing anything up to poster size or anything.
I do mostly macro photography of food and I must say I am in love with the macro and especially the super macro. It's amazing for getting even the smallest details in high definition. This makes photographing food a complete breeze!
One of my favorite features of this camera is the flip around view screen. That makes it soo easy to take self portraits and photos with friends. No more holding your arm out and trying to snap a photo of yourself with a few friends and getting a picture of the side of someone's head.
Some thing that annoy me are that the view-finder is also a digital screen. Because of this I never use the view finder, it's just too distracting. Also, the lens cap pops off every time you look at it the wrong way, which, I understand the concept of... doesn't mean I have to like it though.
Overall, I really enjoy this camera. I'd say the pros outweigh the cons. I feel like anyone could take a great photo with this camera.
