The Bottom Line	In the right hands--only patient and experienced enthusiasts need apply--this camera can take excellent photos.	If you don't mind its extra bulk and narrow lens, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20 is an otherwise excellent compact megazoom camera.	Photo enthusiasts who favor wide-angle photography indoors or out will love the expansive view of this 8-megapixel EVF camera.	Though it's still an excellent camera, some aspects of the S70 now lag behind its competitors'.	A nice evolution of the megazoom, the Canon PowerShot SX10 IS delivers some improvements over its predecessor and provides an attractive option for megazoom shooters.
