The ideal companion for most any outdoor outing, the rugged 12.1-megapixel, 5x optical zoom PowerShot D20 delivers waterproof, shockproof, dustproof and freeze-proof performance. Ready for action even in challenging shooting conditions, the camera is waterproof to a depth of 10 meters (equivalent to IEC/JIS IP Protection Rating IPX8*1) and provides protection from sand and dust particles (equivalent to IEC/JIS IP Protection Rating IP6X*1). Equipped with a high-torque motor and a double-layer glass construction that prevents lens condensation, the D20 is capable of operating in temperatures down to -10°C,*2 and is designed to withstand the shock*3 from a drop of up to 1.5 meters, an improvement over the 1.22 meter range of its predecessor, the D10 (released in April 2009).
Convenient operating features that support outdoor use include a built-in GPS antenna that lets users automatically record where and when their images are taken, and an Underwater Macro mode that supports underwater close-up shooting. Additionally, the D20 makes switching between its Auto, Underwater and Snow modes as easy as the press of a button.
Combining a high-sensitivity, approximately 12.1-megapixel CMOS sensor and Canon’s DIGIC 4 image processor, the D20’s HS System ensures exceptional imaging performance when shooting underwater and in other low-light conditions.

*1 The camera is subjected to Canon standard testing conditions. However, it is not guaranteed that this camera will not be damaged or malfunction.
*2 Testing Conditions:
Drop height: 1.5 m (5 ft.).
Drop surface: Wood.
Drop direction: Each surface (6 surfaces), each angle (4 angles) for a total of 10.
Number of drops: Each surface and each angle 3 times for a total of 30.
*3 Performance of the NB-6L battery pack may decrease at temperatures between -10 to 0 °C (14 to 32 °F), as this is outside of the recommended temperature range. However, use of the battery is possible.
