I've got a friend ignoring my suggestion (S90) and looking hard at getting the Canon SX20, because that's what's in stock at the moment. It's got a monster zoom range, but like the OP pointed out it sounds kinda like a jack of all trades, master of none. Is this a camera I should tell her to steer clear of, or will it be fine for the average consumer who doesn't know poo poo about photography, but wants to learn a little?

Looking for a p&s that'll be easy to find on Friday, so places like Best Buy, Macy's, etc. Going to be used by a tech-savvy 50-something nun. So on the one hand, tech savvy...on the other, 50-something nun. Any recommendations? Anything to stay way away from?
