  • Canon PowerShot SX20 IS 12-Megapixel Digital Camera with 20x Zoom, HD Video and HDMI

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Oct 5, 2009
    Pros: 20x zoom, 28mm wide angle, solid build, features, face detection, battery life, resolution, price

    Dec 18, 2012
    Pros: 20X zoom, tilt/pivot view screen, manual shooting modes, 1280 HD video
    Cons: lense hood falls off, lag between mode control and viewer, noise above 160 ISO
