Hi Mark and welcome!

Looking at the spec of the E20, in digital camera terms this is old technology. However, it still looks a useful piece of kit if you can find one in good condition. It's built with a tough alloy body and the 5 million pixel sensor is likely to give you good prints up to A4, and possibly even up to A3 (if stroked nicely on a sunny day). I suppose a lot depends on price; The currently outgoing models E410 and E510 are being sold at very good prices and will offer you a lot more capability, but not the alloy body. Consider price against a brand new E410 with a standard zoom lens for £300 (or less) at the moment. I'd certainly be interested in trying out an E20 and I reckon you'll get some good performance, but I wouldn't want to pay a lot for one. Hope this helps.
