I'd be very wary of the SX20 IS in terms of noise. It uses a higher
resolution sensor, and it's CCD not CMOS. The SX1 IS is pretty good in
terms of noise because of the CMOS sensor and because they didn't go
crazy in terms of megapixels.

Proving yet again that you just make up all these things out of your
delusional pea-brain. CMOS are slightly more noisy than CCD, due to the
smaller photosite sizes caused by the extra circuitry required between
photosites.
