heheheh  Seriously, Jeanne, the reason these were snapped was some guy on another forum claimed he couldn't get a decent snapshot with the HS-20 in bright sunlight.  Well, #1 - high noon in bright sun is the WORST time to shoot  #2 - he has only had the camera less than a week and has not even read the manual  #3 - he is admittedly brand-new to photography and has not read ANYTHING. 

He complains, "If I pay $500 for a camera, I should be able to get a good snapshot with it!"  I agree.  But, if all he wants is a good snapshot, perhaps he should have stayed with his previous pocket camera.

These were taken in full-auto mode, at the brightest part of the day, in BRILLIANT sun.  Some I rarely do.  But, I think the camera handled it very well.  BTW, he thinks so, too, and will be taking his time before rushing to judgement.

Well, Gary, you at least proved your point!   :D  I wanted a certain picture the other day but at the only angle I could get it, there was a car parked and the sun was reflecting off the windshield so bright I couldn't even look in that direction.  So I didn't take the picture.  :(
