Put simply, this is a competitive sector of the market, and the A20 - despite ticking all the right boxes on paper - simply doesn’t have what it takes to compete. For the typical user of a compact like this image quality (where the A20 does pretty well) is not the only measure of a camera, and it’s in these other areas the A20 fails to impress. There is enough here to lift the A20’s rating above the A10, but not enough to allow an unconditional recommendation.
