With most compact zoom lenses, the brightness tends to be lower in the telephoto range. Not the FZ20. Its 12x optical zoom lens delivers F2.8 brightness all the way to full telephoto.

Use the 4x digital zoom together with the 12x optical zoom and you've got ultra-powerful 48x zooming. That approximates a huge 1728mm lens on a 35mm camera.

Newest Review: ... down to a short list. After this, I popped along to my local camera shop and had a play with a few different models. ... more

 ... Fortunately, the camera that had stood out in the reviews, also turned out to be the one I liked most in operation, the DMC FZ20, so I purchased it. I have been using for about 4 years now and am still very impressed with it. The optical zoom is amazing and means that I am seldom unable to bring a subject close enough, thus allowing me to get the shots that I want. The wealth of options and control I have means I am able to capture the images I see, as I see them which is something I have ofte found frustrating with ...more

A few years ago I decided to setup my own business as a print designer. I was already int his line of work full time and this was intended to supplement my income. One of my first clients was a chaing of coffee shops who served a variety of hot food and drinks etc. Whiole working for them it became very obvious to me that I needed a decent digital camera for taking product shots etc. As I didn't have a digital camera for personal use either, I decided to find something which would be suitable for both jobs. I wanted something with a good zoom as in the past I have found it very frustrating to not be able to take the photos I wanted ...

This is a great digital camera, I would definately recommend it! It is easy to use and easy to hold and takes great pictures. You can record films on it for as long as your SD card will hold, there is no limit on the camera. There is a fully automatic setting as well as a full manual setting or you can change the shutter speed and it will adjust the aperture to fit it and vice versa. You can focus manually or automatically so you can do everything a film SLR camera can do but more as it's digital. It is light to hold considering it's size. I would recommend getting quite a large memory SD card though as the pictures are good quality, so take up quite a lot of memory. The ...
