I picked one up today, just goofing around and i can say, so far 800 and 1600 iso in low light are HORRIBLE so far until i test it out some more but it's my casual travel camera so it is what it is.

My dad said it's like a ***** on my face zoomed out....thanks dad lol

The low light HD videos I have seen from the Canon SX30 IS look as good as the same type of low light HD videos from consumer HD camcorders I have seen.

What an excellent little camera, very impressed by the video and the IS at long telephoto lengths.

So how's the still picture quality on one of these? I was thinking of adding a sx10 or sx20 to my bag and letting go of one of my K20s, but wonder about the noise at higher ISO. Anyone shoot a K20? how does it compare at equal ISO? How about low light focus, like inside the house with only a lamp on?? Might be nice to have such a zoom range without having to carry lots of heavy glass......

thanks

If you don't want noise at higher ISOs then stick with the K20 .
