Though I've not had experience with this U-20, I can comment on its predecessor, the U-10, which is a 1.3 megapixel version of this camera.

When our son in law was deployed to Iraq in Feb. 2003, I wanted to send a digital camera with him. It needed to be very small and lightweight, but also needed to withstand the rigors of life in a fox hole. The Sony Cybershot DCS U-10 really came through! When he returned 8 months later the camera had been dropped many times and had a lot of scratches and dents. It was very dusty and gritty and even the memory card inside felt gritty. I was afraid the data on the memory card wouldn't be readable. But also, the little Sony had takin a lickin and kept on clickin! The pictures were very very good for a 1.3 megapixel. The photos taken inside the tents were a tad dark because the flash only goes about 6 feet, but overall they were good. The photos taken outside were wonderful. If I had to send another camera off to the Iraqi desert, I'd stick with the Sony and choose another Cybershot U. It may have its limitations but it was perfect for the need we had.

Sony Cybershot dsc-u20 is great - J. Livingston - Vero Beach, FL
This is an incredible little camera. Have had it for about 5 years and it goes everywhere, takes awesome photos without a lot of useless confusing features. Simple, it works, shoots quickly and holds about 185 images with the memory card. Easy to pocket and take anywhere, can use regular AAA batteries in a pinch. Too bad they dont make it anymore. Sure the newer cameras have a big screen but aren't as easy to carry and manipulate and have too many confusing features.
