the DMC-ZS10. The lens is coupled with Panasonic's OIS performance optical image stabilization, which very well have been in the past, and it stays that way, the camera can handle extra zoom range.
Through his lens, the ZS20 has a lot to offer, including improved low-light photo quality from previous models and very fast shooting performance for this category of camera. It does not have anything on the shooting conditions and control of the much larger Lumix DMC-FZ150, including raw image capture, and pixel-peepers should the finger for several reasons clear. But otherwise, the ZS20 is an excellent camera.

Depending on what your plans are for their photos, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS20 the shots are either very good or excellent or unusable.
If you are looking to use its 14-megapixel resolution images at full size, and greatly increase harvest will not buy this camera (or most other point-and-shoots). Things do not look just fine when viewed at 100 percent. However, those who is less than 100 percent on screen or on prints up to 8.5x11, probably the majority of buyers, to be really happy with the results.
Give the ZS20 good light and you'll get some great photos with bright, clear colors. In low light or indoors, it is still not as good as competing models from Sony or Canon, but it is much improved over previous generations of the ZS-series. While earlier models were really only good up to ISO 200 can reliably the ZS20 go up to ISO 800 before noise and softness become a problem for smaller screen sizes and pressure. (You can read more about overall picture quality in the sample photo slide show.)
One of the big selling points of the ZS20 is its movie capabilities. It may be in the AVCHD format 1080/60p clips to be recorded sharp and smooth with good exposure and color. All the problems you see, appear with the camera in low light photos in low-light video as well, but otherwise the quality is great and part of the reason why the ZS20 a higher than usual rating was given for the image quality. The camera also records in MP4 format with resolutions up to 1080/30p (20 Mbps) for easier editing and uploading to the web.
The zoom function works when recording, but his movement is taken up by the stereo microphone. If you shoot in a very quiet environment, you will hear in your movies, but otherwise it is difficult to hear. If you are looking for a compact camera for photos and videos, this is a good choice.
As Panasonic compact high-end mega zoom, the Lumix DMC-ZS20 no shortage of shooting options. For automatic recording it, the company Intelligent Auto (is), which combines a growing number of technologies to achieve optimal results. If you are looking to just quickly shoot without thinking about what would be the best mode, it is quite reliable with good lighting. In general, you are better off to have some control, and for that you get aperture priority, shutter priority and manual shooting modes.
Openings are wide and f3.3-8.0 6.3-8.0 telephoto. Shutter speeds range from 15 seconds to 1/2, 000 seconds. To use it, press the Exposure button on the back, and change the settings using the control pad. (A thumb dial would have been nice to have, but the space is pretty tight.) There are also two custom spots on the mode dial to set up three custom setting configurations. There is a program mode, even if you're using things like ISO, white balance and exposure compensation (not with the Exposure button, mind you, but did the D-pad) to adjust, but not having to worry about shutter speed and aperture settings.
There are also 17 scene modes, the usual suspects such as portrait, landscape, and food, but Panasonic has new pan-and-shoot-Panorama Shot and Multi-Exposure HDR modes included in the mix. There is also a multi-exposure handheld night scene, which takes 10 frames in a row and then combines them into one to reduce motion blur and noise. The disadvantage is that it only works if your subject is stationary.
