PowerShot D20
Extreme durability, image quality, and functionality have all met to create the Canon PowerShot D20. It has truly earned the title of rugged. This camera is meant to be at your side while you snowboard in the Alps, climb the Rockies, or snorkel in the Pacific ocean. The 12.1 megapixel sensor, 1080p video recording, and GPS tracking are all impressive and necessary features for a global trek. The 28mm lens with 5x optical zoom are a great plus for a wide range of shooting situations. The PowerShot D20 is quite expensive for a rugged digital camera at $349.99, but it is loaded with many useful features. Available in May.
