Superb Image Quality:

• 1/1.8-inch, 3.3 megapixel CCD sensor enables you to produce full-color high-resolution images up to 2048 x 1536 pixels. The camera also offers two additional resolution settings of 1024 x 768 (Middle mode), and 640 x 480 (Small mode), which is ideal for on-screen applications, such as Web sites and CD-ROMs and allows more images to be recorded on a single CompactFlash memory card.
• The ability of the PowerShot S20 to obtain the full potential of its 3.3 megapixel CCD is due to the camera’s dedicated digital signal processing integrated circuit (IC) to achieve high-speed and complete processing of image detail. All images are recorded as JPEG files, with a choice of Super-Fine, Fine or Normal compression settings.
  6.5-13mm (equivalent to 32-64mm in 35mm format) f/2.9-4 all-glass, aspherical zoom lens enhances sharpness while minimizing distortion. Built-in 2x and 4x digital teleconverters extend the zoom range of the lens to 8x when used in conjunction with its 2x optical zoom capabilities.

Complete Picture Control:

• Mode Dial on top of the camera together with an Omni Selector button on the back help keep the camera’s plentiful functions centralized and easy to use. The Mode Dial acts as a main switch to turn the camera off and on, and also controls recording, playback and data transfer settings. The Omni Selector button performs a multitude of functions, including zoom operation, image selection during playback, and many other adjustments in conjunction with an easy-to-understand, menu-driven interface on the built-in LCD monitor.
• Picture-taking modes include Full Auto, Manual, Stitch Assist, and five IMAGE modes -- slow-speed shutter, high-speed shutter, Night Scene, Landscape, and Monochrome
  

High Performance:

• A built-in buffer memory allows continuous burst-mode shooting of up to 0.8 frames per second, even when the S20 is set to its maximum resolution.
• Scrollable enlargement (up to 2.5X) during playback to check image sharpness
• Bright 1.8-inch LCD viewfinder with 110,000 pixels displays crisp, clear images even in low-light. Also has an optical viewfinder that actually works in tandem with the zooming operation of the lens so you can see what you’re shooting.
• Compatible with Type I and Type II CompactFlash cards allowing hundreds of images to be stored even at high resolution

Conveniences:

• Records a DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) for easy printing
• Composite video output allows you to immediately preview your images on a TV or monitor with the supplied cable.
