Pros: 3.1 megapixels, small size

The best small digi-cam

by stefanb , Jun 01 '00
Pros: Great size, very intuitive, good zoom
Cons: Could use more features
I was in the market for a Digital Camera in March (2000), and I looked at alot of different cameras. I had about $1k to blow, so I was looking only at 3 megapixel and above. I saw the Sony cameras, but those are far too big. So, I bought the Powershot...

NOTE: THIS EPINION WAS POSTED PREVIOUSLY, BUT ITS GROUP HAD MOVED.

Good for scenery; bad for people

by klaws , Sep 06 '00
Pros: Great resolution
Cons: People always come out grey-looking and washed out
This camera shoots the clearest shots I've ever seen from a digital camera. However, if there are any actual people in the shots, they don't come out well. This basically ruins the camera as a useful device. The upshot: Don't buy it.

The...

Super little camera

by skategoat7 , Dec 23 '00
Pros: Small size, picture quality
Cons: Mediocre low light/high speed performance
I've used many Sony Mavicas and owned one of the original Canon Powershots. I'm an avid amateur photographer but no expert. I also own Pentax MZ-5, Canon AE-1 Program and Pentax Spotmatic SLR equipment.

About a year ago, I lost my Canon...

Pros: Great size and pictures, intuitive interface and software
Cons: Need more zoom and IBM 340 Mb Microdrive
Last month I tested a few digital cameras. One of them was Canon PowerShort S20. This are my remarks about this camera.

The camera uses 1/1.8" CCD matrix with resolution 3.34 megapixels 3.14 effective megapixels). Maximum picture size is...

Not for the serious user.

by ilaksono , Jul 13 '01
Pros: Small for a 3.3Mpel camera
Cons: Weak Flash, 2x zoom. Picture quality below nikon 950 expensive and weak rechargeable battery
I was looking for a replacement for my Nikon 950 a long time ago and wanted to try something else. The Canon S20 was the smallest 3.3Mpel camera I could find, and did not look as 'clunky' as the nikon coolpix 990.

There were a few signs of...

S20 - a wonderful camera

by lemson , Sep 22 '00
Pros: Great pictures
Cons: No case, have to buy battery separately
After using a Nikon Coolpix 900 for over a year (see my review of that product), I decided that I needed a new camera. I was primarily looking for something that took better low light pictures, and secondarily wanted one that was smaller and lighter....

Good little digital

by somethoughts , Dec 08 '00
Pros: Compact size, custom features
Cons: None
This camera was purchased to get those quick pictures of my child as he grows up. The ability to look at the picture and store or delete is is a great asset.

If you are thinking about buying this camera to replace your 35mm camera, don't do...

The S20: WOW, THAT TINY THING takes 3.3 Megapixel Pictures?

by kweckstrom Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Apr 16 '00
Pros: INCREDIBLY sharp pictures, 3.34 megapixels, less CCD noise than its predecessors, small size, fast transfers, solid construction.
Cons: Only 2x zoom, Battery hog (Rechargable Battery optional)
I've owned roughly 10 digital cameras over the past few years. The allure of being able to take pictures and see them as soon as you get near a PC is so incredibly strong that it's no surprise the digital camera market is growing so insanely fast.

A Small Camera with a Big Punch

by kbrown_nd97 , Jan 26 '01
Pros: Compact, Lightweight, Easy to Use, IBM Microdrive Compatible
Cons: Can be costly to get the most out of it
After seeing so many of my friends toting digital cameras, and realizing that I barely ever get around to developing my pictures from my film camera, I decided to take the plunge and buy a digital. The Powershot S20 has turned out to be a far more...

Your wait is over!

by yardobeef , Aug 24 '01
Pros: 3.3 Megapixel resolution, size, price, picture quality. Uses standard media.
Cons: Doesn't come with a rechargeable battery pack ($100 extra)
I have been putting off buying a digital camera for a while, waiting for prices to come down. Sure, you can pick one up for a hundred bucks or so, but it'll usually be garbage. I got this 3.3 megapixel camera from Amazon for $400 dollars. Amazon even...
