Panasonic Lumix DMC ZS10 / TZ20 > Reviews (3)

My experience -

For years now, I have used many different compact cameras being a keen holiday phtographer and I also love capturing a few short vids to show folks when I get back to home shores. Panasonic cameras have always given great quality photos and this one is no exception. It has a great zoom at 16x and even the digital zoom is fairly good but I wouldn't zoom in too close as the picture gets distorted. The camera also has a nifty capability of being able to make a 3D image by overlaying 20 consecutive photos which can then be shown on a Panasonic VIERA 3D HDTV. the tracking capability locks onto the image you are taking a picture of and then stabilizes it even if it moves This has HD capacity so the short vids I take and upload to youtube have been much better than my previous Sony W240 series. The flash is good and they are also making an underwater housing for the camera which is great as I love to take shots on my scuba holidays. The camera is small enough for your pocket and feels tough although I haven't had the chance drop it and find out yet! A great little camera!
