The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH20 is one of the more expensive cameras in the compact point and shoot market but it is also one of the best. This is a camera that we really liked because of the high quality pictures that we were able to take. There will be some people who are disappointed that the camera does not include some advanced features. However for people looking for an easy to use camera that produces great pictures we highly recommend this one.
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH20 is one of the nicest looking cameras that we have come across in a long time. It has nice metallic look to it that we really like. It is also one of the smallest cameras that we have seen so it is really great for carrying around with you. Of course that small size means that that the LCD screen is on the small side but that is just the price that you are going to have to pay.
One thing that you need to be aware of when it comes to this camera is that it is a basic point and shoot camera. Given that it is near the top of the price range for a compact camera a lot of people expect that there will be a lot of extra features. That is not the case here. It is a camera that is designed to be easy to use and offer a flexible lens so that it can be used in most situations. In this respect the camera is very good.
We were really impressed with how easy this camera was to use, it really is a point and shoot. It is also very fast, taking only a short time to focus and allowing you to fire off shots in very rapid succession. Of course the biggest thing with a camera is the quality of the pictures and in this case they were excellent. The pictures that we took were certainly able to rival those of a much more expensive camera. That being said the Hi-speed burst mode that the camera offers is a little bit disappointing and the quality that you will get there is fairly mediocre.
If you haven’t guessed already we really like the Panasonic Lumix we think that it is probably the best point and shoot camera on the market right now. The picture quality is excellent and it can be used in almost any situation, indoors or outdoors, moving target or not. It really doesn’t matter this camera can handle it because of the very flexible lens that it has. We realize that this camera is near the top of the price range when it comes to compact point and shoot cameras but we still feel that it offers one of the best values for the money in its class, even though it doesn’t include some of the advanced features that many people expect.
I bought this one myself after reviewing it and I still love it!
