Lumix DMC-FS20 Highlights
Mega O.I.S. Gyrosensors detect hand-shake and the lens system shifts to compensate, helping to prevent hand-shake from creating a blurry image.
Intelligent ISO With Intelligent ISO, the FS20 can determine if the photo subject is moving and change the ISO setting and shutter speed accordingly, thus giving a blur-free photo.
Intelligent Scene Selector Intelligent Scene Selector senses the ambient conditions, recognizes the shooting environment and will automatically select the appropriate scene mode from: Scenery, Portrait, Macro, Night Portrait or Night Scenery mode. This intuitive technology, helps the consumer use the most common scene modes that are built into the camera, but often go unused, without making any manual adjustments.
Face Detection Panasonic’s Face Detection detects faces anywhere in the frame and automatically chooses the optimal focus and exposure settings so portraits come out clear and crisp. Detecting up to 15 faces, Panasonic’s Face Detection can even track a face if the subject is moving.
Quick AF The Quick AF (auto focus) system starts focus on the subject by just pointing the camera to the subject, thus minimizing the AF time.

Awsome Pic.Quality

The flash flashes twice before actually taking the picture, other then that-if that doesn't bother you, this is the best camera (I've owned) yet (I've had my share). The rechargeable battery is the best thing ever. My profile pic. was taken with this camera, its great. The service was fast and price reasonable, Would reccomend and buy from again! |

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS20K 10MP Digital Camera with 4x Wide Angle MEGA Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Black) This camera worked great!!!!..........for about 3 months. The display crapped out, and I had read about this problem in other reviews and choose to ignore them. Should have played smarter |

This camera is everything I had hoped for and more. I'm still exploring all the features, but am very pleased. The joystick makes it easy to navigate and use, and I love the sliding on/off switch. |

Great Cam!

I researched for almost a whole week before settling on this one. My budget was 150$s. I was choosing between mainly these models: Canon SD 1100 IS, Canon A1000 IS and Panasonic FS20 and FS5. Fuji and Olympus were out of the question (Poor photo quality being the main reason). So.. Canon looks great, they are amazingly popular and almost every other person has it. Panasonic isn't that popular (less relative marketing for this range) but its photo quality is much better than the Canons! I went across quite a many review sites that had pictures taken from the cameras in different situations and found this Panasonic model to be the more accurate and lively one. I love my camera! And one more thing: this cam looks much better in your hands (its just so good!) than in these picks you'll find online. Its got all that anyone can be looking for in an under $200 range! More than that I guess. I love it!!! |
