By the way you can have a 52 mm filter on the lens. I have a UV filter on my PS SX1 IS

Hi Geoff, the SX1 CMOS sensor does offer an improvement over image quality of CCD cameras like the SX10 and SX20, but unfortunately, not by a far margin as many would come to expect. You can check out comparisons of SX1 vs SX10 shots in the SX10 review: http://dpinterface.com/camera-reviews/canon-powershot-sx10-review/. The image quality of the SX10 is almost identical to that of the SX20 despite the 2 MP difference between the two

I just wish I could get a better feel for the image quality comparison between the SX1 and the SX20. Obviously the video is better. The lens is the same, so does the CMOS sensor improve the image quality? I would pay more for higher still image quality.

Thanks Brad for the review. Now I just need to decided between the SX1 and the SX20 (I did read your review on that one also.) I guess it comes down to what I want to spend and if I need the 1080p movie mode compared to the 720p with the SX20. It would be great if Canon would of allowed you to change the setting on the SX1 to 720p. That could have decided it for me right there.
thanks again,
