amezriA few weeks back, I got my new Canon PowerShot SX20IS. I've only just now gotten around to uploading some test shots.
I've taken about 1000 photos on the camera now and I'm liking it. There are a few weird things about it like the placement of buttons and how manual focus is now a ring on the backside. Also, I don't think the auto-focus is quite as good as on the S3IS. Overall, I'm pretty happy with the photos coming off of it, though. I've ended up using the manual mode much more than I had with the S3IS.
Photos of the camera are taken with my Sony.
New camera in the box!
And the unboxing!
Size comparison with the S3IS (on the right; lens adapter on)
Another comparison from the front (S3 on the right):
Power on:
With the hot shoe cover from LensMate:
LensMate filter adapter:
The one thing I don't like about the new LensMate adapter is that there is a gap between the adapter and the lens barrel, probably because of the bayonet mount. With the old adapter, the front element was totally enclosed so no dust or dirt could get in. This one could be slightly problematic. We'll see.
Also had to get the GorillaPod SLR! :D
