Great Deal Canon PowerShot SX20IS 12.1MP Digital Camera with 20x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.5-inch Articulating LCD

After looking at a bunch of cameras, reviews, prices and features, and finally decided to go with the Canon SX20IS. It finally arrived today, and I couldn't wait to take pictures. It was very easy to get it started, I didn't have to look at any manual to start taking pictures. I read some reviews of people saying that the camera doesn't take good pictures in auto mode, well, I didn't have any problem taking awesome pictures in auto mode. All my pictures came out clear and very nice.
I tested out the video recording, and was very impressed with the quality of the video (of course HD), and the voice. It really picks up on everything around you.
Many reviewers also stated that they had problems with the lens cap falling off, I can't say too much about that yet, since I just got the camera today, but from what I can see, it holds firmly to the lens, and you can actually hear the click when it is attached.
All in all I'm extremely happy with my choice, and can't wait to see what else this camera has in store for me.
I'll keep you updated.
I would definitely recommend this camera to anyone, for the price, you can't get a better deal ;)

A great camera! - Andrew Lubin - Bucks County, Pa
I'm heading out soon for my 5th embed in Afghanistan and this should be the perfect camera. In the past few days I've taken 500+ photos and am totally impressed by the ease of operability and clarity of photos. On "sports" mode, I can be taking photos as I walk; the 'movie' mode is awesome, and even the night shots are remarkably clear and crisp (like an Afghan evening!)

Yes, it would have been nice for Canon to include their 180 page manual, but frankly I got enough info from their little pamphlet to get me started. Then I downloaded the manual to my laptop, so I've got it if I need it.

This should be a better camera than the usual SLR; no lenses to change in adverse conditions, and no bulky lenses to carry. Hint: buy decent rechargeable battery set; you'll be taking a lot of picts with this camera!

Now I'll really be able to 'get the word out'. S/F

Dr Z. review of Canon SX20is - Dr.Z - Haddam, CT. USA
Very easy to use. My only complaint is that the instruction manual is on a disc which can be downloaded to a computer, but with no printed manual, looking up something on the fly is impossible. I was able to print the manual (4 pages on an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet) and that can fit into my camera bag (folded). It is a chore to do, however. The small wheel on the back of the camera can sometimes be accidentally turned while searching for buttons, but not a big problem. Picture quality is VG for an entry camera and the 20x zoom is great. All in all, well worth the price.
