We like:
Good lens quality; simple operation; good all-round responsiveness; impressive AA battery life
We don't like:
No manual ISO adjustment; LCD looks yellowish in some conditions

Its lack of gimmicks is refreshing and it offers good photo quality for the price, as well as manual controls
Canon PowerShot SX20 IS
Has more megapixels than its predecessor, but it's generally slower, and its photos could be sharper
