Sleek and compact, the Canon PowerShot S20 is the smallest and most stylish camera in this roundup. Its features are limited, however, and picture quality, which tends to be quite good in most situations, can be uneven with challenging scenes. The...

Canon Powershot S20

 

Canon's new PowerShot S20 is housed in the same, compact, all-metal shell as the PowerShot S10 except this time it's champagne colored. There's no reason to mess with success except to upgrade it with a state of the art 3.3 megapixel CCD imager. The S20 h
