Canon PowerShot SX20 IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera - Black

Canon sx20is review
I purchased this camera a few weeks ago and even in that short time I have probably shot about 400 pictures. I am very pleased with the image quality so far. I have used some of the scene modes, landscape mode and program mode where you set the iso and the camera takes care of everything else. So far 99.5% of the pictures have come out really well. The image stabilization is a big plus - I actually took some shots from the deck of a large boat that was pitching and rolling and thought for sure I would have some blurred photos, but to my surprise, none came out blurry. In one instance I took a photo of a pair of bald eagles way up high on a cliffside(Arizona) and I could barely make out the two little specks way up there. I extended the zoom lens to full magnification(20X), focused and took the shot thinking whoa, this one isn't likely to be succesful. When I opened the photo, there was no blurring and the eagles could plainly be seen. With 12.1 megapixels I was able to enlarge the photo and see the eagles perfectly with no blurring still. It should be remembered that this is not a dslr camera and does not have a large sensor - I think the sensor is 1/2.3 inches which is quite small. This is a bridge camera, which means it has many of the control options of a dslr but does not have a large cmos sensor and lenses are not interchangeable. The two most significant factors that affect image quality are sensor size and lens quality, imho. That being said, this is an excellent camera for newbies and for intermediate level photographers who want respectable quality without breaking the bank. I am finding myself getting excited all the time when I take pictures that I don't think will look all that great, and then when I put them on my big screen monitor it's like - wow! - that really looks good! So far I have found no negatives with this camera - it's a big step up from a point and shoot.
