Wow I read a review of the HS20EXP. That is quite a camera also.  I wanted something that would fit in my pocket so the one I have is a good one for me.

While I do like the camera a lot, there are a few things I find a bit "tweaky."  The oddest one is that when you turn the camera sound off (e.g., shutter clicks, selection beeps, etc.) you also turn the flash off.  My reaction to that one was "HUH?".  The second issue is that in EXR mode, the auto focus tends to work a bit too hard.  Lastly, the lag time between shots is a tad long, so if you expect that you want more than one, you probably need to set it to continuous shot mode.  This lag caused me to miss a beautiful eagle in flight shot ... I'd just pulled the trigger on a "perch" shot when he took flight ... and I sat there waiting for "refresh."  Drat!
