Quick review

The good
Excellent metering, great all-metal build, good feature set, great image quality, low noise
The bad
Face AF can be slow, screen difficult to use in direct sunlight, no optical viewfinder, manual exposure control limited by inflexible aperture control steps
Verdict
The A20 is a superbly specified digital compact that lacks almost nothing in terms of specification and control and at a great price
