Canon PowerShot D20 Preview
Canon took its time redesigning its waterproof camera, so we have high hopes for the Canon D20, a waterproof, shock-proof, and freeze-proof digital camera with a 5x optical zoom lens and Canon's own HS system for low-light photography.With a practical 28-140mm zoom lens, the Canon D20 has a good zoom range for basic outdoor photography. Its 12.1-megapixel CMOS sensor works in conjunction with its DIGIC 4 processor to deliver images with low noise and good overall quality, according to Canon.

Built-in Image Stabilization helps steady stills and videos, which can later be viewed on the 3-inch LCD. Because the Canon D20 is a camera built for the outdoors, it includes wind-reduction technology to help reduce wind noise even when it's breezy out, and a built-in GPS so you know precisely where you were when you took each photo.
Among the Canon D20's 32 Scene modes you'll find a built-in Underwater Macro mode specially designed to get close-up shots while underwater. The Canon D20 was also designed to be used while you're wearing gloves thanks to an easy-access button.
The Canon D20 is waterproof to a very deep 32.8 feet, and shockproof to drops from up to 4.9 feet. It can also withstand cold down to 14 degrees Fahrenheit.
Shipping as of May 2012, the Canon D20 is expected to sell for US$350.
