Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ20 Details
Editors' Comments
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ20 is a startlingly sharp extended zoom camera that might make you feel a little like an amateur private detective. This slightly awkward looking camera likes to watch from a distance, with 12x optical zoom and image stabilization that produces crisp, detailed shots. It can seem a little hard to handle at times with a less than elegant body design, but few can deny its impressive reach.
