Water, dust, shock and freeze proof ; Big buttons make it easy to operate ; Good range of shooting modes and digital filters ; Super Slow Motion movie recording

No manual control ; Top buttons a little close together

On the back of the D20 you’ll find a 3in, 460k-dot PureColour II LCD monitor, which represents a fairly substantial upgrade over the 2.5in, 230k-dot screen found on the D10. Indeed, the screen on the Canon PowerShot D10 was always one of its weaker...

While the compact camera market has been fairly stagnant over the last few years, one area in which there's been growth has been rugged/waterproof cameras. At one time there weren't a lot of choices in this segment, and now all the major camera...

Durable and robust ; Fantastic underwater ; Great video capture ; Wealth of movie modes ; GPS logger

Lengthy shutter lag ; Hard and slow to focus ; Bulky design

Canon's second underwater-dedicated compact camera, the PowerShot D20, is chocked full of impressive features and functions that include a 12.1MP HS System, a 28mm wide lens with 5x optical zoom, GPS tagging, Full HD movie quality and a bright 3-inch...

Sharp lens. Good high ISO performance. Integrated GPS.

Large, even for a rugged camera. So-so speeds. 1080p video limited to 24fps.

Performance and Conclusions The D20 is no slouch when it comes to performance, but it isn't the fastest tough camera we've tested. It starts and shoots in 1.4 seconds, can fire off a photo every half second, and records a 0.2-second shutter lag. The...

Smart Auto shooting mode is accurate and easy in all situations, detects up to 58 scenes ; Dedicated Video Capture Button is always ready to record ; Tough" features: Waterproof, Dustproof, Shockproof and Freezeproof protect the camera ; Solid built...

Using the GPS shortens the battery life considerably ; Battery Life is less than 300 images, not very much for an adventurous trip ; Screen can be hard to see underwater at certain angles ; Placement of the Playback button is odd, and caused confusion...

The Canon PowerShot D20 is a great new lifeproof addition to a line that Canon has not updated for several years. The body has been made more manageable and the electronics include the great components of their proven HS system for outstanding quality....

Waterproof, tough, rugged, GPS, lens-based stabilisation, 3-inch 416k-dot LCD

Awkward design, bunched up zoom buttons placement, easy to get in finger in front of lens, slow autofocus, lack of user-defined controls (AF point placement, manual shooting), so-so image quality

There’s a lot of choice out there when it comes to tough and waterproof compact cameras. The Canon PowerShot D20 certainly ticks the boxes when it comes to underwater use, but it’s the awkward design and the lack of the core image quality elements that...

Very easy to use ; Big buttons are ideal for underwater ; Tough and rugged design

Images look rather soft ; Videos are grainy ; Sluggish performance

Canon no longer gives out official RRPs of its products, though we have seen it for sale in the region of AU$350-399 in various photographic stores across the country.

Our initial thoughts about the Canon Powershot D20 weren't good. It has a rather poor dynamic range which really shone through on the first set of pictures we took with it. The camera's metering prefers the darker areas over the light and will happily...

Curvy and comfortable to hold, 28-140mm zoom lens, the Canon D20 has a solid zoom range, Large 3-inch LCD display perfect for outdoor viewing, even in bright sunlight, Simple, easy menu navigation, Diverse array of shooting modes, filters and effects...

Big and bold, Canon's first foray into folded optical design was certainly a success, even if wide-angle optical quality suffered a bit. The Canon D20's overall performance put it at the top of both our Waterproof Camera Shootout 2012 and 2013 Best...
