The ZS10 is one of the best-specified cameras in its class, and as well as a plethora of automatic modes it also offers full manual exposure control. Although image quality is acceptable in daylight conditions, it really struggles in poor light, which – coupled with the rather clunky button-lead interface – means that it isn't quite as competitive as it should be at this price.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS10 Review
By: Mike Pasini and Stephanie Boozer, Imaging Resource
(Apr 11, 2011)
The Panasonic ZS10 mystified me. The first time I turned it on, the lens poked out from the camera body so slowly I thought something was wrong. Nothing was wrong. The long lens just takes its sweet time, particularly if you last used it at a telephoto setting and it resumes that position (a feature you can turn off). Then, walking around in Intelligent Auto mode, it seemed to take pictures at... |

The TZ20 is certainly packed out with features. Whether a point-and-shoot user looking for the potential for more control, or just someone who wants a decent zoom range in a relatively small package, the TZ20 has plenty of ground covered. intelligent Auto (iA), full manual controls and the 16x zoom certainly see to that. |

Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS10 (Lumix DMC-TZ20 / Lumix DMC-TZ22) review
By: Cameralabs
The Lumix TZ20 / ZS10 is the successor to 2010's best-selling TZ10 / ZS7.

This latest model represents a much bigger step forward than its predecessor did over previous generations, and as such is likely to be... |
