The Panasonic Lumix DMC TZ20 offers a wide range of features packed into a compact body. Major attractions include a 16x zoom lens. On occasions when you think some extra zoom would come in handy you have the option to decrease the number of megapixels you are shooting at in return for more zoom. A maximum of 33.8x zoom is available if you decrease the resolution to below 3 megapixels.
The combination of features and smaller body size makes this type of camera attractive to people travelling or taking a holiday. With this in mind Panasonic have included GPS positioning with the Lumix DMC TZ20. This makes it easy for you to pinpoint exactly where a picture was taken.
Other features include a set of manual exposure controls and a burst rate of 10 frames per second. Manual exposure will appeal to you if you like to take that bit of extra control over the way your final photos will look.
The 3 inch LCD screen offers you the ability to change some settings through touch. More traditional buttons are also available on the back of the Lumix DMC TZ20.
You can shoot High Definition movies and there is also a facility that allows you to shoot 3D still images.
