Canon SX30 IS has most of the features Canon Ultra zoom camera fans expected from Canon SX20 IS. Main feature is better optical zoom. Unlike SX20 IS and SX10 IS cameras, Canon SX30 IS camera has a whopping 35x optical zoom.So if you are going to buy a new ultra zoom camera then Canon SX30 IS the camera for you. No use going for SX20 IS unless you get a  very good deal for it. It's not that this SX20 IS camera is bad. It is an excellent Ultra zoom compact camera just like older SX10 IS camera. But SX30 IS is the latest camera in Ultra zoom line and it has more features which makes it is better then old 2 models.
