Just Posted: In-depth Review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS20/TZ30
Just published: Jeff Keller's in-depth review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS20 (TZ30 outside the US). The ZS20 is the slimmest 20x zoom camera on the market, with a lens covering a 24-480mm equivalent range and featuring the company's latest Power O.I.S stabilization. The 14MP high-speed MOS sensor allows the ZS20 to autofocus in as little as 0.1 seconds, and shoot at up to 10 frames per second (5fps with AF-tracking). It also has GPS and an updated mapping function to show photos on a map with greater detail. The ZS20 can capture 1080p60 movies in AVCHD or, in an interesting step for one of the creators of AVCHD, it can shoot 1080p30 in MP4 format.
This review is based on one originally published at The Digital Camera Resource Page, enhanced with a full set of our own product images, our usual studio comparisons and an expanded samples gallery, plus the addition of a standard dpreview score. We've been fans of Jeff's work at dcresource for years and we'll be working with him to bring some of his top-quality reviews to dpreview.com in the coming months. We want to give you as much high-quality content as we can, in as timely a fashion as possible and we believe this is a great way of diversifying our reviews. Let us know what you think.
