i found sometimes i use it as binoculars

I think you can get it for like 200$ these days, however if you are going for this i would just get the 500d or T1i

I have that now and its really a great camera.]]>Sep 9th 2009 11:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/canons-powershot-sx20-is-superzoom-gets-superreviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/canons-powershot-sx20-is-superzoom-gets-superreviewed/Sep 10th 2009 1:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/canons-powershot-sx20-is-superzoom-gets-superreviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/canons-powershot-sx20-is-superzoom-gets-superreviewed/Sep 10th 2009 3:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/canons-powershot-sx20-is-superzoom-gets-superreviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/canons-powershot-sx20-is-superzoom-gets-superreviewed/Sep 10th 2009 5:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/canons-powershot-sx20-is-superzoom-gets-superreviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/canons-powershot-sx20-is-superzoom-gets-superreviewed/
Also, did any of the above actually buy this camera?

I did.

I upgraded up from the older S2 IS, 5 MP, 12X zoom which I loved as a high-end point and shoot.

I prefer to shoot using the viewfinder, so, as on the S2 IS, the foldaway screen works well for me.

I just received the SX-20 IS and only shot a few pictures, but, I am already impressed.

It's smaller than a SLR, but still it feels like a "real" camera in size and weight.

I ordered a HDMI cable so I could hook it up to my 47" HD flatscreen and was very impressed viewing the super sharp images straight from the camera.

I can't wait to shoot some video.

Also, the menu system is greatly improved since the S2 IS and I believe I will now actually use some of those features since I can actually find them within a reasonable amount of time in the field.

Overall, I feel the SX 20 IS is a good value for the money for a high-end point and shoot and allowed me to save a few bucks over the DSLR's I otherwise was considering buying.]]>Sep 14th 2009 9:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/canons-powershot-sx20-is-superzoom-gets-superreviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/canons-powershot-sx20-is-superzoom-gets-superreviewed/I also own a S2 IS (3 years if not more now) and prefer it over many many many DSLR cameras simply for one function, the swinging LCD. You guys can say all you want but I've been doing this for a few years now and you can see my work and tell for yourself (e11world.com or if you think I'm advertising my site, see my flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/80789985@N00/)
The cons for my camera or non-DSLR cameras are: Sensors, limited manual control, longer exposure, and raw (bigger file size for print).
That's really it for me. The Canon S2 IS can do what most DSLR camera's can and more (no need to write them here).
Almost everyone who buys a DSLR camera, spends more money on lenses & other things. Lens is the biggest thing to many people.
I still can't see myself purchasing one (probably because I'm a multimedia designer/developer) because the point&shot works for me.
JPEGs, VIDEO, price, the oh so sweet swinging LCD (which is really helpful if you need to shot flowers from a low point or at a wedding and need to go higher), and many more.
ALMOST all photographers edit their photos and guess what, JPGs work for that. Some of my photography is not even photoshoped and it looks damn good and you can tell me otherwise if you don't think so. I can do HDR, light photography and more and still no need for DSLR. So I think I might stick with that especially seeing that DSLR camera's don't have the simplest thing, the swinging LCD.
If you think otherwise, write me and convince me properly.

They already have the galleys. They could at least offer the manual on an order by order basis. Charge for it. That's OK. We can now buy books on demand. Why not an SX20 manual?
