Amazon.com Product Description
Canon's new consumer-oriented digital camera, the A20, is a great 2-megapixel point-and-shoot. The 3x optical zoom lens includes an aspherical element to help reduce distortion and provide clarity. The built-in flash provides red-eye reduction, fill, night, auto, and off modes. While aimed at the consumer crowd, the A20 also features exposure compensation controls between +/- 2 EV in one-third increments. Additionally, there are several white-balance settings to choose from to help in most shooting situations.

very good first time camera.......2006-12-29

This was the first digital camera I owned, and I loved it. The features are endless, there are multiple shooting modes, and it is easy to use.

A Work Horse.......2006-02-22

The Canon PowerShort is a workhorse of a digital camera. I have had mine for 4 or 5 years and taken thousands upon thousands of pictures. The camera has never failed that I remember.

Older Canon digital camera the A20.......2005-09-06

I just purchased another Canon A20. This one was used. I use them in my business to photograph houses. I have 2 currently being used and this will be the third. I have purchased other digitals, Fuji, Pentax, Nikkon, and even the newer Canon 510.
All have had problems and did not last 6 months. The Canon 510 has a major design/engineering flaw. When the batteries die and the camera is in the process of taking a photo, the lens attempts to retract into the camera but gets stuck. When new batteries are put in, the lens will not move. You cannot take photos with it. After the fiasco with the new Canon and the other name brand digitals, I decided to try and find an A20. I did and it works as good as my other two, though it is used.

out of date now.......2003-12-03

I have been using this little camera regularly since march 2002 when I traded in my Canon EOS SLR (yeah I know but I wasn't using it enough - digitals are so much more convenient).Now I know what digi cameras are all about i'm ready to upgrade to a G5 or something similar. The A20 is fine for most situations but my main gripe is that it cannot cope when there is little detail in the subject; a plain background will produce an almost watercolour result. Where there is a lot happening the results are sharp enough. Batteries run down quickly but I always carry spares.The flash is inadequate.

Excellent Digital Camera For The Money.......2003-04-19

I bought the Canon PowerShotm A20 over a year ago and think it is a fine digital camera. It takes crisp clear pictures that can be easily downloaded to your PC using a SanDisk. The only draw back is that it eats batteries (4 AA).
