Product Description
Panasonic DMC-FH20K Digital Camera Features

28mm Wide-angle Lens
The 28mm wide-angle lens* lets you easily capture large groups of people indoors or expansive architectural structures and scenes with dynamic width and rich perspective, even from short distances.
* Converted to standard 35mm camera equivalent, at the maximum wide position.

Powerful 8x Optical Zoom
The DMC-FH20 sports a powerful 8x optical zoom lens (35mm camera equivalent: 28-224mm). This gives you highly natural expressions from people and animals that you can't get close to. And its slim, compact, pocket-sized body can easily go wherever you do for both everyday snapshots and traveling.

iA (Intelligent Auto) Mode
When you don't know which mode will give you the best shooting results, or when a sudden photo opportunity pops up and you don't have time to make any settings, simply choose iA (Intelligent Auto) Mode by simply pressing the dedicated button and let the camera do it all for you. You just choose iA Mode, aim at your subject, and shoot. 4 detection and correction functions are simultaneously activated to optimize the settings, so you get stunning photos every time.

HD Movie Recording (1,280 x 720 pixels at 30 fps in Motion JPEG Format)
The DMC-FH20) can record motion images in high-definition (1,280 x 720 pixels at 30 fps in Motion JPEG format). The pixel mixed readout method enables bright motion-image recording even in low-light settings. The DMC-FH20 can also record full-size motion images in WVGA (848 x 480 pixels at 30 fps) or standard motion images in VGA (640 x 480 pixels at 30 fps) and QVGA (320 x 240 pixels at 30 fps).

Extended Battery Life
The energy-saving Venus Engine IV image-processing engine and the efficient, rechargeable lithium-ion battery which has been slimmed down to fit into thinner camera bodies work together to extend the shooting time of the DMC-FH20. This lets users take approx. 300 shots on a sin

4 out of 5 stars How Electronics Expo screwed me on this camera   August 12, 2010
Jack B
1 out of 3 found this review helpful

First I would like to say the camera is fine. But let me tell you how Electronics Expo the seller that supplied this item to Amazon Screwed me. I paid extra money to get 2 day shipping. Took 10 days for it to arrive. The Electronics Expo asked me to leave feedback on my purchase , which I did. It wasn't great feedback but it wasn't real bad either. I got several emails from a guy named Bruno asking me to change my feedback. He offered me $20.00 dollars back on my purchase to remove the feedback. Well I did remove it like he asked. Now as of yet I have not been paid back and he will not my emails. I am pretty sure that this review wont get posted but it may at least get seen by someone at Amazon.com I will also post this everywhere else I can that it may be shared with other online shoppers.

I read the reviews of the camera and it was chosen as the digital camera of the year. So far I agree with the reviews.


1 out of 5 stars not much of a camera   July 28, 2010

This camera feels good in my hand, is nice and small, and I love the battery charger. To not have a long cord, but just a simple 2 prong arrangement is fabulous. And the big screen was great.
But I was very disappointed with the quality of the shots. I particular the shots even in focus are not sharp, which really surprised me from a Leica lens, as i used to have leicas and the lenses were sharp as a tack. This must be their low end line. i'm a semi-pro, so i know wherefore I speak on this; I've sold many of my photos. In addition, the colors are not accurate, and the camera is just plain slow.
No wonder so many people don't think they can take photos-so much equipment is inferior. Quite a let down for people I'm sure, as they would think it were they who are not good photographers, when the camra is largely at fault.
I was so excited to have a camera that I could just put in my pocket that I was willing to forego having RAW. But this is not for me.
I tried the larger one as well, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7 12.1 MP Digital Camera with 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 3.0-Inch LCD, and that was better but not much. In comparison, the Nikon P6000 beats them both by a country mile, though it has a long cord on the battery charger, the battery runs out too quickly, and is a bit larger. Oh well. Worth the try but it's going back tomorrow with the other one..

I love this camera. The pictures come wonderfully clear and sharp in beautiful color. The video is lovely. I did a lot of research before deciding on this model. It was a close decision between this model and the Canon. This camera had a great price and I'm so glad I got this.

Amazon did a good job delivering this product on time and the camera was in perfect condition.



2 out of 5 stars compact camera with picture quality issue   July 25, 2010
Yifan Wang (NJ, USA)
I have used this camera for a few month, and produced 100+ photo

Good:
1. compact size
2. 28mm wide angle lends
3. low price

Bad:
1. Auto White balance miscalculates most of time for indoor photo with flash. Background appears RED or Yellow!
2. Flash is unusually weak. Object more than 6 feet away may appear "dark". This is my biggest problem.
3. It may under exposure in Outdoor pictures too

I don't ask for much for a compact camera but this camera has flaws:
1. metering & White balance problems
2. flash range is too short

Once my Canon A620 is fixed, I may have to give up this Lumix.
