Better than expected.

I have been wanting a small camera for candid shots. My Canon Digital Rebel XT is great for most uses but too big and noisy for candid shots. When I got the F20 I was delited with overall quality, quiet operation, little shutter lag and especially sensitivity. I set the F20 next to the Canon and compared the results. It was a shock to see how little difference there was between the F20 and a very popular camera costing 4X as much. OK, it could be lighter and thiner; the manual too several readings; but I can't think of any real complaints. The F20 delivers the goods...the good pix, that is.
