The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH20 – A Great Point and Shoot Option
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH20 is a great option for those looking for an easy to use point and shoot digital camera.
It has 14.1 megapixels, as well as a 2.7 inch LCD screen and 8x optical image stabilized zoom. It comes in red, purple, silver and black, so you have your choice of colors if you want something other than the standard silver of most digital cameras.
It even has Sonic Speed Auto Focus so it is easier to catch subjects that are moving quickly. It includes Intelligent Auto focus mode, as well as an HD video mode, and an extended battery life.
Most of the customers who have reviewed the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH20 really love it and give it five stars. They say that it is really easy to use and takes great pictures. They like the low price, and the fact that it has an 8x optical zoom.
The battery lasts a long time between charges, the screen is large and the menu is easy to navigate. They also really like the small size of the camera, which makes it easy to carry around with them.
The few drawbacks that were mentioned include the fact that you have to take the battery out of the camera to charge it, and the fact that you can’t zoom in further when you are recording videos.
Someone also mentioned the fact that the camera had to be steadied when taking pictures in low light, but that is true of most point and shoot type cameras.
Another thing that was mentioned was the fact that the camera doesn’t have a view finder. (This was eliminated in order to make the screen larger.)
As you can see, most people rate the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH20 very well as a point and shoot camera, claiming that it is easy to use and takes good pictures in pretty much all conditions.
They say that it doesn’t take as good a pictures as an SLR camera, but it is so much cheaper that it is definitely worth purchasing, especially when they don’t want to lug around the larger SLR cameras that they have.
The few things that people didn’t like about the camera were relatively minor.
