Panasonic DMC-FS20 Reviews

Panasonic's shrewd partnership with Leica and a commitment to accessibility has led to some excellent compact cameras. Its latest, the Lumix DMC-FS20, is so versatile and the automatic mode so capable, you'll probably be happy to let it do all the work. Y...

Excellent image-stabilisation system; user-friendliness; highly capable automatic mode

Images are a little soft

Another winner from Panasonic. With its wide angle lens, 4x optical zoom and truly accessible design, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS20 joins a line-up that raises the bar for what we can expect from the compact digital camera

   Take a look at the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS20 As the headliner for the new FS-series, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS20 makes a daring entrance into an already packed point-and-shoot market. Panasonic launched the Lumix FS20 to service a broad audi

-Attractive design -Optical image stabilization -Large 3-inch LCD -Easy to read menu system -Fast, accurate autofocus -Three aspect shooting ratios (16:9, 4;3, 3:2)

-Tiny buttons and lack of main mode dial -Ineffective joystick control instead of a four-way controller -Lack of comfortable grip / handling that previous Panasonic point-and-shoots possess -Limited manual controls -Near-$300 price tag

Our first impressions of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS20 are that it makes an unexciting entry into the pocket digital camera market. It does, though, earn some major points for looks and a generous 3-inch LCD, optical image stabilization, wide 16:9 sho

The Panasonic DMC FS20 is a 10 megapixel digital camera with a 4x optical zoom lens. It just about slips into a pocket. It scores well in all the important areas such as picture quality, ease of use and features.

Shutter delay could be that little bit faster

"This camera is well worth taking a close look at if you are looking for a pocket camera that is a step up from the more basic models. It is easy to use, takes a good picture and has a large 3 inch LCD screen."

Overall, I am happy the price. I saw it the same model in a local store for way more than what I paid.

Video format is QuickTime. Eventhough that I used open as WMP, it still ran slow and kept on breaking.

Useless because I got no English menus. Panasonic support refuses to let me have English menus.

No English menu no useful support from Panasonic. I live in Japan and Panasonic seem to have decided that they will not allow people to purchase a camera with English menus in Japan. This is not mentioned on the box in English so anyone who buys in Japan...
