Panasonic DMC-ZS20 Review, May 18 2012
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS20 is a great compact digital camera. I got interested in this product after I saw it in the list of the best compact digital cameras according to CNET reviews.
Now that I tried it out, I can safely say that I am totally satisfied with this product.
Pros:
- 20x optical zoom is very effective.
- Excellent flash for this kind of camera.
- Good image quality in low-light conditions.
- iA shooting mode is excellent and requires absolutely no skills to use.
- AVCHD Progressive filming (1,920x1,080 at 60fps) offers great results.
- Fast shooting performances.
- Colors are vivid and accurate.
- 3D shooting mode is fun to use.
- GPS function is a nice plus.
Cons:
- The touch screen is not very useful.
- The photos are soft and pretty noisy at large sizes.
- 3D shooting does not work properly if you subject is in motion.
Overall, I can easily say that this product deserves fives stars. While it might not be perfect, it still remains an excellent compact digital camera.
