The Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FH20 digital camera packs the features of a larger camera into your pocket. The 14-megapixel sensor is fronted by an 8X optical zoom wide angle lens set for superb image quality. MEGA Optical Image Stabilization keeps the picture steady even when your hands aren't. See it all in the 2.7" rear LCD with 230k dots as well as auto power LCD mode, power LCD mode and high-angle Mode.
The innovative iA mode automatically sets several functions so you get the best picture without worrying about settings. Face Detection optimizes focus and exposure so you always see who's in the picture. Intelligent Scene Selector chooses the shooting mode that will best capture what's happening in front of the lens.
You can also capture HD-quality video at any focal length and play it back on your HDTV with a quick connection and enjoy the beauty of your still photos in slideshow format with your friends. The Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FH20 digital camera gives you all the convenience of point and shoot, yet takes your digital photography to new levels!
14-Megapixel Image Sensor The Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FH20 digital camera features an amazing 14 megapixel effective CCD to provide profound image detail with unparalleled richness and depth, and the ultimate flexibility in enlarging and cropping shot.
Leica DC Wide-Angle Lens with 8X Optical Zoom Equipped with a high-quality Leica DC Vario-Elmar wide-angel 8X optical zoom lens, the Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FH20 digital camera handles both wide-scene and close-up shots. Get the whole family and your friends into one shot at the 28mm wide-angle end, or take extreme close-ups via up to 67.5X zoom capability (4X digital zoom combined with Extra Optical Zoom).
Intelligent Auto Mode Incorporating 4 intuitive functions - Intelligent Scene Selector, MEGA Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S.), Intelligent ISO Control and Face Detection, Lumix' Intelligent Auto (iA) mode automatically selects the most appropriate setting to match your shooting situation, making it easier than ever to take beautiful photos every time.
MEGA Optical Image Stabilization The system uses built-in gyrosensors to detect even the tiniest camera movement and compensate for it by shifting the lens in the opposite direction. The completely-optical system does not affect the CCD or image processing at all, so you get sharp, clear images with minimal degradation when you are in motion.
Venus Engine IV Panasonic's Venus Engine IV employs advanced multi-task signal processing for speedy response, reduced power consumption and enhanced image quality. The newly developed noise reduction system effectively suppresses low-frequency noises and preserves as much color information as possible, resulting in beautiful, clear pictures in any ISO setting.
HD Video Recording The Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FH20 digital camera can record movies in resolutions up to 1280 x 720 at 30fps for unprecedented high definition image clarity.
Cons: Only file type I could save pictures as was .JPG. Other than that, no negatives.
Other Thoughts: Bought this camera for a trip to Rome, Italy. Very pleased with it. About as good as it gets for $100 point and shoot camera. It even took good pictures inside the Vatican Museum where flash has to be turned off.

Rating: 1/5Poor quality
Pros: Newegg fast shipping!
Cons: Bought this product as an upgraded and boy was i disappointed. Pictures at all setting were noisy and were no way as sharp as the ones taken with the camera I intended to replace. The menu is also quiet clunky and a chore to navigate.
Other Thoughts: Definitely sending this one back to newegg.

Rating: 5/5Another Winner
Pros: Perfectly Continuous Burst mode which is wht i tend to shoot in, Awesome focus with the Macro settings, Great Quick Boot Time, Great 8x Optical Zoom, Good in low light, even outdoors at night (have not tried star shots.)
Cons: Tripod mount all the way to one side, so not sturdy on Mini/Tabletop Tripods, Proprietary Rechargeable Battery Pack*, Not enough Hand Grip (I Keep blocking the flash)
Other Thoughts: This was purchased to replace an older Lumix model (DMC-LZ5) which was a 6MP Dream, with a thicker body and good hand grip, almost like a mini-DSLR in shape, this could use some more hand grip and the ability to use regular batteries, but otherwise it's an amazing camera.
*The Battery Pack Charger is a hot-swap style, so the battery comes out of the camera and goes in the charger base, since you don't have to (can't) have the battery in the camera to charge it, it's easy to buy one or more additional batteries and keep them with you on the go if needed.
Also I love that it is physical toggle switches for the Power and Cam/Review switch, I tend to put the camera in my back pocket as i walk and they're less likely to both get switched on, so since the lens stays retracted if powered on in review mode, i dont risk harming the lens motors.

Rating: 3/5nice but way too fragile
Pros: Takes wonderful pics. easy to use. battery life is good. quick data transfer to SDHC. No video issues either. (class 10 SDHC)
Cons: It fell off the kitchen countertop onto a wood floor once and it was toast. I bought this compact point and shoots because I need something that takes decent pics, but is small enought to fit in my pocket. However if it is so fragile I am afraid to take it anywhere it really defeats the purpose. I will not buy another lumix...
Other Thoughts: none

Rating: 5/5Marvelous
Pros: Picture Clarity is awesome. It focuses very very well in low light conditions, and even does great in tricky backlighting conditions. I used to film and take pictures of fireworks this past 4th of July and it exceeded expectations for a point and shoot camera. The menu navigation instead of a physical nob actually makes for faster switching between video and picture taking... if you really need to move quickly between picture taking and video there's always the intelligent auto button on top. 8x zoom is also really handy and the stabilization feature works really really well. I gotta hand it to Panasonic on this one, they really did good with this camera.
Cons: No zoom in video kinda sucks, however most of the time when people are given this feature they kinda abuse it and it makes for poor video quality when recording.
So the lack of zoom during video can be both a con and a plus. HD video isn't in the most compact form, the .mov file format tends to make videos 10x bigger than they need to be, although the camera doesn't have the processing power to really record in .mp4, anything closer than .mov would've been nice. However despite this file format difference, the video quality is still superb.
Other Thoughts: If you are like me and like to record long videos and have to switch hands to maintain arm stamina... be careful when holding it with your left hand to not block the microphone. I did this a couple times and it just made things sound kinda odd.
