    Good Points: The camera is very lightweight, making it easier to carry around. The macro function on it is also far better than I expected for the price.


    Bad Points: The aperture range does not reach beyond F8 which was quite disappointing


    General comments: I found this Lumix Fz20 a very nice camera in general, it can be simplistic on the 'simple' mode which is useful for quick flicks. However it can be altered to become more advanced for the more educated photographer.

    I am not new to digital cameras, but when I found the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ20 in my local shop it was as if I had suddenly found the camera I was looking for in digital. The price was what I expect to pay, but what I got was far beyong what I expected for the price.
    The Leica lense system (13 lenses in 8 groups) gives the very best clarity I have seen in a digital camera, coupled with the fast response (I take a lot of natural history stuff) which allows me to capture the actual shot I want no ...

    The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ20 is a mixed bag. The lens is amazing along with image stabilization. It's fast to respond and images are beautiful. But the controls are too fiddly. The evf and screen will not brighten in low light - so forget taking pictures in the dark with an external flash! And you can't be sure if an external flash will fire as the settings have to be precise. Evf is low pixel and can become too cluttered with overlaid info. It's frustrating to own a camera with such potentia ...

    Great Looking, Great Performance, Lovely to handle and own. The Panasonic FZ20 must be digital photography's best kept secret. Like all Panasonic equipment, the FZ20 oozes quality. Very much like a 35mm camera to look at, the FZ20 offers a huge 12x optical zoom "yes optical zoom" plus a 4x digital zoom which gives an overall 48x zoom lens. The image stabilise has to be tried to be believed and even at 48x zoom, produces crystal clear hand held shots. The lens is made by Leica (and you don't ...

    Comparative to my previous digitals, some with a higher spec. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ20 rates the best for the money. (See Good Points).
