11MB internal. Meaning one image at full rez.
35mm Equivalent : Still shots: 28-560mm / Movie 16:9: 31-620mm / Movie 4:3 :38-760

I'm a Canon guy. Better glass, IMHO, and SD cards, rather than slower, more expensive Memory sticks.

Yes, HX1 has 11MB internal memory.

I haven't used SX20 so I cant comment on that, but I've use HX1 for 2 month now.
HX1 is excellent when it comes to the zoom and image stabilization.
Image quality is not that great especially in low light conditions.
JPEG compression also seems to have hurt image quality. No RAW facility :( either.
