OK, I looked up the U-40 and U-20 specs and there are a few important differences. The U-40 allows you to select different white ballance modes which is probably the single biggest drawback with the U-20 as far as taking great pictures all the time. Also, a little bit better movie mode.

The only thing you might not like about this camera is the lack of any zoom. I figure no zoom is part of what makes it more durable, a reasonable compromise for me. One bonus the very small minimum focus distance. A real boon for a guy into wildflower photography like myself. Below are some pictures take with this camea. The lighting was harsh for all the photos on the first set. The second set is a big long letter to friends and family, but it shows good examples of what this camera can do.
