Abstract: It's been just over a year since we reviewed Panasonic's last TZ-series camera, the TZ10 . This camera has been so popular it's little wonder the company waited until January 2011 before unveiling not one but two updates: the TZ20 and a simpler (and cheap...

Like: Image quality is very good indeed. There is evidence of noise reduction but it is not objectionable. The video mode is astonishingly good, producing movies that look splendid on a high definition TV. If you don't want GPS there is an alternative mod
Dislike: While Panasonic make one of the better super zooms it is nevertheless a fact that a 384mm lens on a compact camera is an absurdity. It is unnecessary and compromises image quality
Price: $600VersatileThe low-down: This 14 megapixel camera has a 16x Leica-branded zoom with a focal length range of 24–384mm (film equivalent). There is a dual image stabilisation technology that provides a sort of steady-cam effect in movie mode. Movies...
Sturdy build. Manual controls. AVCHD recording. Quick shooting performance. Good video quality
Touchscreen doesn't add anything to the shooting experience. Screen still fairly low resolution. No RAW capture. Relatively short battery life. Some images can be over-processed
Travel photographers who prefer a feature-packed camera will love the TZ20 with its GPS, long lens and HD video. Unfortunately, it doesn't produce better images than the earlier, award-winning TZ10....
Mostly clear and vibrant image quality, good performance at maximum zoom, good video functionality, GPS, touchscreen operation for focusing
Messy high ISO performance, lens barrelling at wide angles, screen hard to view in bright conditions
There is a lot to like about the Panasonic LUMIX DMC-TZ20. It can produce clear and vibrant images, has a great zoom range, and it's absolutely feature-packed! It can shoot HD video, has geo-tagging, can shoot slow motion video, and it can take 3D photos...
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS10 has fast shooting performance and an extensive feature set
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS10 has a near-pointless touch screen; no raw capture option; noisy photos; and a short battery life
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS10 is a very good compact megazoom, as long as you don't mind paying more for features and speedy performance than photo quality....
21x zoom; Full HD video recording; touch screen controls
slight over-exposure on automatic settings
