Canon Power Shot SX20 review update
The first bit of feedback I
have on the new Canon
Power Shot SX20 comes
after only a few weeks of experimentation.
It's been my experience that
the automatic setting is not quite acceptable in most situations, that
is to say the picture either has the color off or it's a bit too washed
out. Anna has some
good examples of this on her more
in depth review.
The good news is that the
manual mode is easy to use and understand. Making this camera maybe not
a good choice for someone who struggles with basic point and shoot
units.
The above picture was taken
today by Anna on the SCN setting.

An example from last week of the Canon Power Shot SX20's automatic feature. Keep in mind this was towards the end of the day and what most folks would consider a low light situation. I didn't think it was that dark and have had other cheaper digital cameras in the past to handle this a lot better.
Notice how the green leaf material is weak and the wood chips seem washed out?
I should have went back and re-shot the image in a non automatic setting...but then I wouldn't have got our employee of the month in the background and I didn't know any better back then.
