Had the camera 10 days and have taken almost a 1000 photos to test its functions. Absolutely love it, and highly recommend this camera for both the beginner and near professional.
In particular, the 12x optical is fantastic.
The Image Stabilizer has to be among the best ever.
The manual ring focus is a must for macro photos.
And the battery life appears outstanding.
I've taken over 35,000 photos with my 1st digital camera, the Olympus E-100RS. I needed a camera with more mega-pixels, so upgraded to the Panasonic DMC-FZ20. So far, I am extremely impressed.
Problems:
I feel the viewfinder is lacking... too small, and no soft cushion for eyeglass wearers.
