Customer Reviews
I've owned a number of 'point & shoot' shirt pocket cameras, but
this Panasonic is by far the best...not only from what I've had, but
from what I've seen. From my point of view the Lumix ZS20 has many
major plus features. The 20X optical zoom is phenominal, particularly
with the image stabilization at full zoom. There's not a hint of camera
shake. The GPS image tag is very useful when you can't recall exactly
where the pic was taken. You should be aware that battery life is
shortened when the GPS function is turned on. The camera is capable of
taking full 1080P movies with stereo sound. I recently put this to the
test while on a storm watching trip to the west coast of Canada. The
movies taken of the huge waves crashing against shoreline rocks were
nothing less than spectacular and the sound was equally impressive. One
of the things I like the best with this camera is the ability to take
hi res still pictures in widescreen format. We're all used to seeing
movies is widescreen, so why not still pictures as well. Looking at
your still shots in widescreen is very impressive indeed. The camera's
ability to take stills in 3D is also excellent...much better than I
would have thought. This feature is very nice to have if you have a 3D
TV. And you can also view your 3D shots in normal 2D if you don't yet
have a 3D TV. The camera has a mini HDMI port which can be used to
connect it to one of the HDMI ports on your TV or AV receiver to allow
you to view your pictures and movies on the big screen. I have a
Panasonic large screen 3D TV and as soon as I connected the camera to
it, the camera and TV recognized each other and set things up for
viewing pictures. And this also allows you to control the TV AND camera
using the TV's remote control...how cool is that!
After all is said and done, I would say that the Lumix ZS20 is one of the best bangs for the bucks currently on the market and I would have given it a 6 star rating if I could.
