Olympus SZ-20: Amazing
This camera is fantastic. It is just as good as the bigger, bulkier cameras except its small and light. Looks great, and works great too! The ridge at the side allows to good grip and controlled and stable shooting.

Excellent Product for the Price
Having used other digital cameras before, I was greatly impressed with the Olympus' ability to display in bright light. This is a feature that actually drew me to this camera to start with. I still have things to learn yet on the operation, but I already enjoy the use and screen of this camera.

OK, not great
Bought this for vacation this year because I was tired of lugging around the large SLR digitals I normally use. My 2001 Olympus, 4 MP camera takes much better photographs than this one. In fairness it did cost 9 times more than this one.

Olympus SZ-20
This year, Olympus has created a new 'traveller' category in its super zoom camera range with three models that are more compact than the SP-series models and more competitive with similarly-featured cameras from other manufacturers.

Olympus SZ-20 Review
Olympus's SZ series is quickly growing a reputation for combining a large focal range with a compact and pocketable body. How does the latest addition shape up?
Pros:
- Large LCD screen
- a good focal range in a compact body
- HD video capture
Cons:
- Metering can struggle in difficult lighting conditions
- slightly plasticky body and lacking a general quality finish

Great little camera, Great EBAY price. I am glad I have it.
It is what it is, a mini-camera with much better features and pricing than it's ancestor, the Olympus C-3020 Zoom for which I paid $500.00 about twelve years ago. I don't test cameras for a living so I really don't see any real purpose for being asked to provide this review.

Olympus SZ-20
One of a pair of new Olympus travel zoom cameras, the 12.5x optical zoom, 16 megapixel SZ-20 is the more affordable and comparably modest sibling to the whopping 24x zoom SZ-30. The 'SZ' of course stands for 'super zoom'.
Pros:
- Extensive zoom range
- Loads of features
- Cheaper than most super zooms
- Has 3D shooting mode
Cons:
- General soft images
- Unreliable metering and focussing
