A 10.2 megapixel camera with a big 4x optical zoom and packed full of the latest in digital camera technology - the ES20 makes taking great photos simple and fun.

Get closer without moving an inch.
Of course you want it all. You're an artist. The ES 20 delivers with 10 megapixels, CCD sensor and a 4x optical zoom that gets close enough to capture every detail. The same rich, hi-res image that appears in your viewfinder will appear in your photo, proving what an amazing eye you have.

Shake, Rattle or Stroll
Even the tiniest shake can ruin your shot. The ES20’s Digital Image Stabilization solves that. Digital Image Stabilization gives you sharp images no matter the condition. Whether it’s low light, zooming or just a case of plain old shaky hands, your photos come out sharp and clear. So let the ES20 shake things up. In a good way.

Lost. And then found.
Say you've got about 2,000 photos stored on your ES20 and you're looking for one in particular. You could flip through all 2000 or have the Smart Album feature do it for you. It will search and find photos just the way you want. Go straight to that shot you took whether it was last week or last Friday. You can search by color ton, or even by file type. So no matter how many memories you have crammed onto your memory card, getting directly to the one you want is a no brainer.

Just what you had in mind
You see the image you want in your head. You point the ES20. And Smart Auto sees it too. This scene recognition technology actually chooses from 11 different settings ranging from landscape to portrait automatically.
Then adjusts for the perfect shot. Whether it's catching your friends on a night on the town or a waterfall off a mountain. What you get is exactly what you had in mind. Plus all the credit.

VGA quality video. Now in a compact camera.
If you prefer still shots to movies but want to leave your options open (and leave your camcorder at home) the ES20 is right for you. You'll get 640x480 quality video at 30 frames per second. You even can use the 4X optical zoom to get up close and vividly personal. And when things get dicey, you can even pause your recording. You'll give up nothing, except carrying around that extra camera.

The camera loves you.
No one has a bad side with ES20's Perfect Portrait system. Sure it fixes red-eye, but this next generation face detection technology even detects blinking. So you're always sure eyes are open and smiles are bright. In addition it evens skin tones, erases blemishes and removes dark circles. And with different level settings, you Can control how much retouching you do. Not that your friends and family need any.
