Canon's PowerShot A10 and A20 models represent the entry points to the Canon digital camera range. Priced to meet the growing market for consumer cameras, yet still maintaining the quality levels expected from Canon these two low cost models exude quality when you put them in your hand. Canon's emphasis has been the total cost so some features have been sacrificed, but not image quality.
