I am using this so far in freshwater. Works well especially for macro shots of things that are not moving(a crawfish or plants)sometimes it is a little slow so I missed a few good shots but I am still in love! Works great and what a great deal.

Easy to Use; Good Battery Life; Large Clear LCD

Lag / Shutter Delay

For a camera specialist company like Canon, the D20 is a bit of a surprise. The somewhat chunky compact features a unique design with some counterintuitive elements, like the fact the shutter button is on the right, and yet you can only attach a wrist strap to the left-hand-side of the camera.

Universal camera for any situation, unless you want professional quality. Advantages: 1. Actually waterproof to 10metrov. 2. Shockproof. 3. Instantly turns on in a second ready to go. 4. Rapid transition from the Photo and Video for the back. 5.

The Canon Powershot D20 is a rugged camera designed for use in extreme environments. Its waterproof build can be submerged to depth of 10m, withstand drops of 1.5m and be taken outside down to -10C. Needless to say, this camera can handle any type of weather.

Adventure cameras have been growing in popularity for several years, and almost all of the main manufacturers have at least one waterproof and shockproof compact in their current model range.

GPS that actually works; Build quality; Start-up time

Fiddly controls

Looks like it has melted. Horrible shape. Just read the review of the new Panasonic F5 rugged camera and whilst a bit more expensive looks nicer and is better specified. I'd get that one if I were after a rugged camera.

Pretty good camera it does what it says it will do but I returned it only because I found a better deal at my local walmart for around the same price, the new fujifilm that can go up to 50 feet under water, but if I hadn't found this camera I would have kept the cannon, good camera over all.

Great to take on vacation, no need to worry if you are on the beach, in a boat or in the water.
But also good for normal daily use.

I do not like the placement of the control buttons.
