My mom has an earlier Canon Powershot (I think it might be the S1), and says she has a lot of trouble getting it to focus. The colors are very nice when she can focus it, though. I tried out the SX20 in Best Buy a couple days ago, and also had trouble both at the long end of the zoom range and especially at macro, where I couldn't get it to focus at all. My mom has rechargable AAs for her Canon, but my Olympus's one little LI-ion is still much easier to fool with.
