    Overall Rating: 10.0 of 10 -

    This is the best camera I have ever had, it has an excelent digital and optical zoom wich the old sd20 did not have, its the biggest improvement, also its very small, you can have it in your shirt packet, (just dont lose it) fast downloading pictures to the cpu same with videos, it looks very stylish and has different types of options.

    if you are thinking in getting a 400 dls camera, this is your best option.
