Summary: Canon Powershot A20/A10 Manufacturing Fault
Review: I bought Canon a20. And I m really satisfied with its result. Outdoorresult is outstanding and it really give natural colors indoor result is slightly dark.. But when u uses manual white balance its good. Alkaline batteries give good backup time if you didn't use LCD screen. But I suggest to buy rechargeable battries.a biggest fault which I find in it is that it didn't give u the accurate focus on optical finder. Means if you focus a specific area and when u takes a snap of that u get a wide area result....BR>I don't know what's technique behind it. but if you use LCD for focusing something then it gives u accurate result. Focus is really good and I also use MACRO mode

it's also fine. Panoramic Features are cool but I am trying to get 360 digree picture with it. if anyone of you know technique of that then pls tell me. The only fault which I told u it gives me problem sometime.

Summary: Very pleased
Review: I am an experienced photographer although somewhat new to digital stills. I have been very pleased with the A20. The pictures are sharp and the options many. The only complaint is that the flash head is placed so close to the lens that red-eye is common, even in the red-eye reduction mode. With the compression options, I can shoot 200+ 1600x1200 pictures on a 128meg compact flash card. With NiMh batteries, it never runs out of steam. I was torn between buying a cheaper 'throw away' digital camera and a more expense, higher pixel camera. I am very pleased with my choice and have not regretted it for a second.

Summary: Very Good Middle of the road Digital Camera
Review: The Cannon A 20 is a nice middle of the road digital camera and is versatile and easy to use. In the high resolution mode you can get very fine 4x6s and nice 8x10s. In lower resolution modes you can fill up the cards with lots of pics for use on your computer (web sites etc.,) The camera has OK software, easy to use, but not lots of features; but it does have a cool panoramic feature and on the camera and has software where you can stitch together many photos, which is really cool. The A-20 is ergonomic and fits in the hands nicely. If you looking for a good Digital camera at a good price the A-20 is a good one.

Summary: A superb mid-priced camera!
Review: If you are looking for a superb, mid-priced digital camera that will perform all of the needs that you desire in a non-professional setting, look no further as this is the camera for you. This camera contains all of the features of cameras with much higher price tags, and the quality of the photos produced by the Canon A20 are superb. Do yourself a favor and get this camera.

Summary: My first digital camera
Review: This is my first digital camera & to tell the truth I was scared that I would get a digital, use it once or twice & then go back to my 35mm. But a salesman who know his stuff & spent as much time with me as I needed convinced me. That & the A20 was on sale for a very good price. The camera is easy to use, takes great pictures & seeing the pictures right away is the greatest.Also the 8x10 enlargements are Photo-shop quality. I would recommend it any time, partically for first time buyers.

Summary: Great Camera for the price.
Review: Just recieved the camera on the 11th of February and have took some pictures and printed some out. It is very easy to use and the quality is great. I had a Agfa CL30 1.3 megapixel. It worked good, but I wanted a zoom lens and more pixels. This is a very good camera for a beginner also. I would highly recommend this camera.

Summary: Excellent color accuracy.
Review: This little camera is great. Easy to use, light weight, decent zoom, and excellent color accuracy. It is a battery hog, but at least you can pick up AAs anywhere.

Invest in rechargable batteries and a larger compact flash card, such as the Viking 128mb. A card-reader isn't necessary, because the usb cable can download dozens of pictures in a few minutes.

The Lowepro D-Res 10 AW Digital Camera Bag is the best $... you will ever spend. Small, well padded, and has room for the extra batteries you'll need to carry. It fits the camera perfectly. I bought it based on an earlier review said that with this bag, "you could throw the camera out the window." I have had absolutely no reason to toss the camera, but snuggled in it's bag, it has survived being dropped in parking lots, banged around climbing rocks, hiking, etc.

I have been very pleased with this camera and would recommend it over anything else in it's price range.

Summary: good entry camera
Review: Good entry camera... didn't do too well at the dark aquarium using the manual settings. It is very good for snapshots indoors and out under reasonable lighting. Great color reproduction and nice design.

Summary: Easy to use
Review: This camera is a beauty. It is small and compact, easy to use and takes very good quality photos. The software with it is also easy to use. Whilst 2 weeks into the warranty my lense died I found Canon (Australia) reasonably quick in repairing and replacing the lense. Since then it hasn't missed a beat and I am really click happy.

Summary: What a great little Camera!!!
Review: I did my research for about a month before deciding on this little bad boy. The A20 is is all that and more! My wife who is a Techno-Phobic finds the A20 to be easy to use as well. To quote her, "Is that all I have to do?" The picture quality is second to none. I was horrified by how quickly the Alkaline AA's were drained by the camera. But a quick trip to [the store] for some NiMH AA's put an end to that. Do youself a favor and buy two sets. The camera is relatively small and light, but durable! The LCD is very nice in all lighting conditions.

Also, buy the camera bag that was meant for A20. I purchased mine at [store] for $9.99. It is held securely by two velcro straps, so don't worry about it dropping out. The bag has a shoulder strap and a belt loop so it's your choice how to carry it. The bag will also carry an extra set of batteries and two flash cards. The 8MB card that came with the camera was a bummer, but I purchased a 64MB the same day I purchased the camera and soon thereafter added a 128MB. I've found that Medium Super-Fine mode will yield about 300 pics on a 128MB card. That's ALOT of pictures.

....

I also love the Canon software that was provided. It is EASY to use. My Father who has a Kodak DC3400, and swore by it, loves the A20. .... this camera [is compared] to much higher priced and larger pixeled cameras. It is not a fair assessment. Take this camera for what it is: A great starter camera! Yes there are better, but, for the price, quality and the Canon name, you cannot go wrong with this choice!
