How much better is the SX20 than the S5is?
Better lens?
Better processor?
I need mostly for photographs rather than vid quality...
Just curious as both of these cameras take some really nice photos!
Thanks for the help

Apr 09, 2010 05:09 | #3 I loved my S2 but it seems to take far inferior pics to my SX20. I get far better focus and quality with the SX20 when shooting on the fly then I do when I take my time to set things up with the S2. I know that the S5 is a whole different camera, but I've been more than happy with the upgrade.

Better lens, better processor, and also can used hacked firmware to shoot RAW and/or Superfine. No question the images are better and can stack up against cameras costing much more. Canon S2, S5, SX20 IS...loving it!!

I don't know for sure what the SX20 is at 430mm. The SX20 has a much more useful wide angle at 28mm vs 36mm though.
