Every time a new line of gadgets is launched, the critics bring out their pens and papers, and wait with bated breath like a predator waiting to devour its prey. No sooner do they lay hands on it, than they tear it apart with the precision of a surgeon. Luckily, they will not have much to complain about the Lumix DMC-FH20 from Panasonic, which is a powerful and feature loaded point and shoot camera. This camera comes with resolution of 14.1 mp and a powerful wide angle LEICA DC Vario 8x zoom lens.
Design and FunctioningNot many would be able to guess on first glance that the Lumix DMC-FH20 from Panasonic could house a powerful 8x zoom lens in a body as compact as this. Its body is slim and the design fluid and easy and it weighs hardly 178gs. Its powerful 8x zoom lens covers a focal range of 28mm to 224mm. This camera is available in colours as sophisticated as Devil’s Red, Metallic Silver, Mauve and Midnight Black. The FH20 makes it easy to view videos on a PC or upload it seamlessly to YouTube*1 with the bundled PHOTOfunSTUDIO version 5.0 software. It is also equipped with the My Scene function, which lets the user customize specific scene modes that they like best, so they can quickly and conveniently switch instantly to the mode. It could also be considered a rather fast camera because of a very small start up time value of 0.97 seconds. This camera contains internal memory space of 40MB and is compatible with SD/SDHC as well as SDXC cards.
