Straight out of the box, the Canon EOS-20D looks remarkably similar to the 10D that it replaces. Canon’s hallmark Quick Control Dial can still be found on the back panel alongside the main LCD screen. I must say, I was quite surprised to see that Canon has used the same 1.8in 118,000 pixel display that was used in the 10D, especially when you consider that its prosumer-orientated PowerShot Pro1 actually has a larger 2.0in display with 235,000 pixels. Thankfully, the 20D’s display does offer a 10X zoom playback facility, which certainly helps when checking the focus of shots. You can also scroll through the images while still viewing the magnified display, which I found to be particularly useful when trying to pick out the sharpest shot from a series of very similar images.

The Sony DSC W1 is a five megapixel digital camera with a 3x optical zoom lens. You can pick up the camera, turn it on and start taking pictures if you wish to, but there are also a number of features that let you take more control over the final image. I would describe the Sony DSC W1 as a good all round family digital camera as it combines the ease of automatic use with a number of more in depth controls.

If you are looking for a camera to take all the usual shots for the family album, holiday photos and various get togethers then take a good look at this camera.
