Great Camera For The Price August 17, 2010 A. McDuff I own an older Lumix and I love it, so when I wanted to buy cameras for my siblings this summer I bought two of these new ones and they were very happily received gifts! For the money this is an excellent camera - it has a super zoom which allows you to photograph things from far away, which will be great for my stepsister taking photos of her horses in the pasture, and it is absolutely tiny, which is great for my brother as he likes to stuff everything (ipod, books, you name it) into the pockets of his cargo pants. It takes wonderful photos and makes it really easy to grab a quick home movie on the fly. The controls are nicely balanced, if you just want to get a snapshot without thinking about it too hard it is easy to use in idiot mode, and if you want to have more input into what your picture looks like there are plenty of serious-photographer options for you to choose from, although there is no manual focus. And it comes in variety of fun colours - I chose a red one for my stepsister and a black one for my brother.
Unlike my older Lumix - a DMC TZ3 - this one does not come with a Leica lens, it has an 8x optical zoom rather than a 10x optical zoom, and it is manufactured in China rather than Japan. But then again it costs less than half the price I paid for my old DMC TZ3, and it is about half the size. If you want a Leica-lensed more serious Lumix you can still buy one, they make new models with the Leica lens, loads more options and a price to match - this one, the DMC ZS7 looks pretty awesome: Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7 12.1 MP Digital Camera with 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 3.0-Inch LCD (Black). But if you want to get a great camera for a very low price you will be very happy with this one, it is a lot of fun in a small package.
I just love it! August 15, 2010 Dario Raudales (Florida) I had and old camera, so I think it was time to get a new one, it took me a while to finally make my decision (you know there are plenty of models and brands) but the 8x optical zoom and 14mp was the best offer I could find by that price, of course, the cheapest is not always the better, at least that was I thought when I order it, but once it arrive I take it back, the quality is perfect, a way better than many cameras I had seen, the zoom is great, the interface so friendly and the design is awesome. The stabilized is Ok, the battery last enough for a day (or even more) and the screen is so good. I cant believe the price and features of this cam, I just love it!
Great Camera at a great price August 15, 2010 Bill1040 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Purchased this camera from Amazon based on user reviews of the camera. Wanted a new camera for an extended vacation to the western US. Camera took great pictures with very little adjustment. I used the 'Intellegent Auto' setting for all my pictures (Approx. 700). Even low light pictures looked very sharp. Liked the compact size.
This is my first camera with no viewfinder - so I had to get used to using the LCD. Battery Life was good. I took pictures all day with no battery problems. The 8x optical zoom works great for shooting wildlife pictues. Most pictures were very clear except a few at max zoom.
Bottom line: Great easy to use point and shoot compact camera at an affordable price.
Something rattling August 13, 2010 Dasa Tammineni 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Thought would not hurt to shoot an email to Panasonic and amazingly received response in minutes. This is what they said:
Thank you for your inquiry.
The rattling sound that you are hearing is the optical image stabilizer moving around, this is normal. We hope this information is helpful. Thank you for contacting Panasonic
Just received it, took pictures, most of them came out nice, but Auto White Balance is not great. Someone at BestBuy mentioned that anything auto neutralizes things.
Noticed noise on some pics but not others. Too bad, cant change the resolution, eats up the card.
But one thing bothers me, something is rattling in it, thought it might be spring for battery etc, popped in battery, card and closed everything still it rattles. Checked the lens cover its good. So I am thinking of returning it just for that. That is why gave 1 for material quality. The directional buttons are flaky.
May be I would call Panasonic to see what they would say.
Brilliant camera for the price August 7, 2010 rushingmom 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I did quite a bit of research when looking for my next digital camera, and settled on the FH-20 because of the high optical zoom and MP for the price. I must say, I have not been disappointed. Although I've had a couple fuzzy pictures (probably due to ME moving rather than the object being photographed), most of the shots have been fantastic. In particular, the camera was able to clearly capture individual water droplets in a swimming photo and a roller coaster in mid-drop. I also like the fact that you can select a mode (say, Sports) and the camera remembers it. Then when you press the IA button, it switches between the mode you've selected and IA, making switching mode quick and easy. My only suggestion to Panasonic would be for then to develop a camera case specific for this product, as I had to do a bit of legwork to find one I liked. Enjoy!
