I’m thinking maybe, I can’t say for sure though. Some cameras do allow for higher ISO via lower resolution, but I’ve never really liked those results either.

I’ve read reviews of the SX20 IS that talk about the image quality and camera noise at 400 ISO or higher being an issue compared to the SX10 which apparently doesn’t have that problem at 400 ISO. If the MP on the SX20 are set manually to 10 will the image quality improve at 400 ISO?

SPECS ERROR: CANON SX20 – The camera DOES NOT have a Superfine JPG mode. Only the SX1 and SX10 have that.

Here is a major factor that was left out: (Otherwise perfect review!)

Continuous Drive
SX20 IS: 0.7 fps
FZ35: 2.3 fps, for 5 images

Will the SX20 continually shoot 0.7fps and be able to sustain this possibly forever?? (How many shots could we get with a really good SD card?)

The 2.3 fps on the FZ35 sounds awesome, but does it have the ability to shoot 1 fps so I can shoot a 20s sequence? (Is there a setting I could adjust so when I hold down shoot it only does 1fps instead of 2.3fps at full quality, or do I have to train my finger to push every second?)

iwan,
Likely you’ll be happy with either. Honestly these two are so close, that it could really come down to which one looks better to you. I like the FZ35, but image quality between the two are quite close.
