Can we use any adapters on it? Would Lensmate adapters work? Not very happy with the macro photos I have taken; the zoom is fine but grainy when the digital is added on.

On the other hand, they're all pretty much good enough, with the single exception that Kodak cameras aren't even as good as a Coolpix.<br /><br />Choosing any compact camera by dissecting their image quality is like trying to find the Matthew Robertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04134787874718415563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754037359690107642.post-80019466317496002782009-10-22T19:30:58.245-04:002009-10-22T19:30:58.245-04:00hi friends, I happened to come across your discuss...hi friends, I happened to come across your discussion on cameras and am delighted to know the various doubts and answers. I have a Olumpus point and shoot and would like to buy a super zoom camera.I confine myself to the following models. Kodak z980,sony hx1,canon2ois and panasonic sz35. My question is in terms of image quality can u rank them? Is sony hx1's image quality is good?prince of pleasurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08623283088110534188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754037359690107642.post-52616036633694679022009-10-21T21:14:10.243-04:002009-10-21T21:14:10.243-04:00The difference between the SX20 and FZ35 are the f...The difference between the SX20 and FZ35 are the features: flip-out screen and a longer telephoto for the SX20, and a smaller/lighter body for the Panasonic. I can't say this often enough: go to a camera store and try them out. The physical difference between them is significant, and actually using the cameras - even for a few minutes - is far more revealing than hours of review-reading.<br /Matthew Robertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04134787874718415563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754037359690107642.post-7386899123898342352009-10-21T20:03:33.425-04:002009-10-21T20:03:33.425-04:00thank u very much Matthew.I have been all along in...thank u very much Matthew.I have been all along indecisive whether to buy panasonic dmc fz35 or this 20is from canon. Because most of the reviews adjudge them evenly. My instinct asks me to go for canon? Do i do a right thing?How do you compare these two in terms of image and video quality?

I doubt that w...Thanks very much for the comment. <br /><br />I doubt that we'll ever see tele or wide converters for the SX20. None were/are available for the other SX series cameras, and they've lost the mount that the preceding S-series long-zooms had to support their extensions. For what it's worth, though, the lens on the SX cameras covers the same range as the S5IS with the converters attached.Matthew Robertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04134787874718415563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754037359690107642.post-24416396435782160052009-10-21T08:22:31.965-04:002009-10-21T08:22:31.965-04:00Your review is quite illuminating in very few word...Your review is quite illuminating in very few words.

But like Garfield said, if the rope's already around your neck, you might as well jump off of the horse. I don't know how long the batteries last, because I've never been able to exhaust a set of them.

First thought of the Lumix FZ38 but today at the store I saw the Canon SX20.<br />I'm a little dissapointed about it having AA bateries. How many photos do you usually take with one use of 4 bateries?
