Big 12x zoom lens Optical image stabilization

Low battery life

Leica 12X optical zoom lens with constant f/2.8 aperture and image stabilization. Very comfortable, SLR-like feel. Powerful feature set. Lots of control over exposure.

Large and heavy for a superzoom. Poor video mode.

The Panasonic FZ20 has a superb Leica zoom lens and an excellent image stability function, with more than enough manual adjustments to play with, when set on program mode and you manage to take a bad picture " don't know how you could with this camera...

Let me think Hmmmm ! Oh yes just one, if you switch the camera off before replacing the lens cap and with the lens hood fitted you need pianist long fingers to get it back on again, other than this the bad points for me would be zero.

Brilliant picture quality even when using flash.
