- Rugged
- uniquely styled body

Cons:

Ars Gratia Artis
In my humble opinion (of 40+ years of diving and underwater photography) Canon could have done a lot better by designing areal pressure-resistant camera around better specs. Canon could've well kept the design and shape of the D10.

If you need a camera that is tough enough to withstand the odd knock, and can do a job underwater the Powershot D20 does a fantastic job for the price, otherwise you're better off looking elsewhere.

Canon Powershot D20
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.

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.

If you need a camera that is tough enough to withstand the odd knock, and can do a job underwater the Powershot D20 does a fantastic job for the price, otherwise you're better off looking elsewhere.
Pros:
- Get up close with the Canon Powershot D20, and you'll soon see that it's a rugged thing
- It feels reassuringly weighty when held
- It's hardly a looker, but in terms of durability, it does a job
- It may be one of those so-called rugged cameras, but the Powershot D20 is capable of some great shots.
Cons:
- While the Powershot D20 is capable of producing some lovely shots, as a compact camera in daily use it still has a lot to live up to when compared to more traditional compacts
- If you want all-round performance you're better off getting a ‘non-rugged' compact snapper.
