Very Solid Little Camera September 6, 2010 D. George For the money, I don't think you can beat this little camera. It's easy to use, easy to carry, has a long battery life and takes great pictures. Because of it's size, it can't really be expected to handle long distance pictures very well but the quality of the other pictures is very high, including night shots. For an easy-to-use, all purpose point-and-shoot, I absolutely recommend this camera.
KEEP LOOKING September 4, 2010 david maderich (NYC) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
THE CAMERA WAS A GOOD PRICE AND THE PICTURES WERE SO SO - THE ZOOM WAS GREAT. HOWEVER, THE PICTURES WERE NOT VERY CLEAR OR SHARP COMPARED TO MY OLD CANON 4201. ALSO, YOU NEED A FORK OR SHARP POINTY OBJECT TO REMOVE THE CARD FROM THE CAMERA - NOT GOOD. I RETURNED THE CAMERA AND I WILL STICK WITH CANON.
Moderately Satisfied September 2, 2010 WayfarerK 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
There are a lot of good things about this litte camera.
1. It's little. I purchased this for a hiking trip to California, so I needed it to be easily stowable. It is.
2. Ease of use. My previous camera was a Cannon, and I did not find there was any learning curve in adapting to a different menu set-up. I love the quick menu- it is incredibly convenient.
3. Ability to switch between file sizes easily. All on the quick menu.
4. Very good picture quality. I've been spoiled by Cannon, but Panasonic did OK.
My biggest complaint: the zoom. I wanted to upgrade my zoom from the 4x I had on my Cannon to something with a little more...Ooomph. I figured the 8x would be great. Except for the fact that this camera can't seem to be able to focus between 3x and 6x. If I'm set to one extreme or the other (either zoomed all the way back or all the way in), it's fine. But as I zoom in the camera can't seem to find a spot to focus on. I've tried pushing down the button slightly, getting the zoom box and trying to show the camera where I wanted it to focus on, but that doesn't work either. I've tried other cameras with high zoom and have not run into the same issue. As the camera zooms, the focus stays true. The FH20 starts off focused, gets blurry, and then focuses again. Pretty disappointing performance when you're trying to shoot landscapes, and everything seems to be in that middle range.
All in all this camera was an OK purchase. I like the burst shooting and the video recording, although I think it would have been better to add the video feature to the quick menu.
I love it! September 2, 2010 J.Twain 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I am a pro in photography for more than a decade. Although I mainly shoot with Slr, I do own few compact cameras handy when I am not too serious about getting that perfect shoot. Of all small cameras that I own, this one is the only one that didn't disappoint me. Most other digtal cameras have few problem such as high iso noise, low image quaility, loud zooming sound, too big, start up too slow and etc.
This one is perfect: Start up is fast & quite; image quailty is great (see photos I have uploaded); HD video quailty is great; control is simple; lens is best (it is sharp and does 8x optical zoom); outside looks great, fashionable, stylistic, price is cheap. In short, this fh20 is a great camera.
This camera can deliver dslr like image quailty, but only if you know what you are doing. As a pro in photograph, I saw a lot of photo getting bad image using high-end dslr, so photography is a skill and art, and a camera is merely a tool. For me, this is a great tool. Although it lacks controls such as changing the aperture or shutter speed manually, you can still get great result if you know how this camera react to different situation such as lighting in a particularly enviromental. It is more than pressing the shutter release to take a picture; Photograhy is all about lighting. A camera that can take Hd video is great. Still the same point, it can record clear sharp video in a controlled eniroment. Don't expect to take great video in a sunny day where the harsh light shining everywhere.
I got a 8gb class 4 sd card for $15 that works fawlessly and a great deal. I can record about 10min of HD video because max. file side per-file is 2 gb, so a 8gb card can record 40 mins of HD video. And 8gb can take 1600+ highest 14 mp photos. I use photoshop and premiere pro to edit my photo and video.
Right camera at the right price August 31, 2010 Matthew (Noblesville, India) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have always been a Canon fan when it comes to digital photography, having owned two digicams and one Canon camcorder. I still think Canons are great, but when it came to buying an everyday point-and-shoot I took another look. I wanted to get the most camera I could, including memory, for $200. I was looking for 12+ megapixels, more than 4x optical zoom, HD video, and a quality lens.
The Panasonic was the only product that came in well under $200. It handles well, shoots quickly, and is so easy to use my 9-year old son had it figured out in about an hour.
One thing that amazed me about the optics is the macro capability. My son took a photo of a Lego Clone Trooper with the lens less than one inch from the subject, and it came out perfectly in focus. So add macro along with the zoom and wide angle capabilities of this excellent product. I could not be more satisfied with it!
