The Canon PowerShot D20 isn't exactly disappointing; it's a competent adventure camera, able to withstand water, shock and cold as well as the next, and take a decent picture under most circumstances, but that's kind of the point. The D10 was the best in...
Waterproof to 10 m, shockproof from 1.5 m, Excellent macro mode, Good image quality up to 400 ISO, Clear, userfriendly interface, GPS with journey tracker function
Handling could be improved, Photos with flash are slow to save, Lens doesn't give the most even results at wideangle settings, From 800 ISO, noise management is a bit disappointing for a BSI CMOS sensor, No A,S, M modes
With the PowerShot D20, Canon is back in line with the competition when it comes to waterproof compacts. The zoom lens isn't the best we've seen, but the camera is pleasant to use and has all the functions you'd expect from an underwater snapper these day...
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
The Canon PowerShot D20 has its rugged and waterproof features down to a tee, but it’s the performance and core camera department that can’t quite keep up. The design is awkward, there’s a lack of user-defined manual control and the £280 price tag ough...
Get up close with the Canon Powershot D20, and you’ll soon see that it’s a rugged thing. It feels reassuringly weighty when held. It’s hardly a looker, but in terms of durability, it does a job. It may be one of those so-called rugged cameras, but the Powershot D20 is capable of some great shots. Reproduction of colour is great at this price, especially when shooting bright objects - colours real
While the Powershot D20 is capable of producing some lovely shots, as a compact camera in daily use it still has a lot to live up to when compared to more traditional compacts. If you want all-round performance you’re better off getting a ‘non-rugged’ compact snapper. Shots could be better in low light, and there are signs of too much noise in certain conditions. A slow shutter also puts a dent i
If you need a camera that is tough enough to withstand the odd knock, and can do a job underwater the Powershot D20 does a fantastic job for the price, otherwise you’re better off looking elsewhere. Canon Powershot D20 is tagged with Canon, Powershot ...
By our count, there are no less than 15 new waterproof cameras in the 2012 model year. We've never seen the pool so crowded before. The industry is counting on these adventure-ready cameras to close the sales gap left where cheap point-and-shoots used to ...

Some chromatic aberration; Grain apparent at conservative sensitivities; Wind noise on movies, even with wind filter active
If you want to buy a rugged, waterproof camera, the Canon PowerShot D20 is the one to go for. It's easy to use and comes in a choice of three colours. Build quality can't be faulted and the buttons are responsive, with a satisfying action, unlike those...
