AWESOME! I own many thousands of dollars worth of lenses for my Canon 20D, but when I have to decide which camera to take - my 620 or 20D, I usally grab the 620 because oz for oz, I get the best results! Exposure is perfect every time - it never gets fooled. Always sharp images (and I am super fussy after being a photographer since the early 70's) and really the only thing the 20D has over this is the really clean extended 3200 ISO so I can shoot indoors without flash. I can do it with the 620 and even have the manula WB, but you'd better be up against a wall or on a tripod and of course there is a littlemore grain - but you can't even compare the 2, they are in totally different categories. Carry her in your purse or shirt-pocket and get breathtaking images that stand up to the very best D-SLR's out there. Canon really hit a sweet spot with this one. I have had mine since Jan 2006.
Problems:
My only complaint is the sound on the .avi movies - it's got a loud hum and also it's a somewhat weird .avi codec that cannot be converted to other more compressed formats by every program (such as TMPGenc). Other than that, it's a perfect camera.
