The Panasonic FH20 is a great camera. It's an 8x optical zoom, 14 Mega Pixel camera with an 28mm wide angle. The camera has optical image stabilization and takes a rechargeable lithium ion battery. For point and shoot, I would highly recommend this model of camera. Panasonic is great for their point and shoot cameras. One thing I love about Panasonic is that I find their colours are true to the scene unlike other cameras that add a tint of warm or cool colour to their photo.

This camera offers your basic automatic mode, movie mode, and your different scenery modes as well such as portraits,scenery, sports, baby and pets etc. These other scenes options are great for when you are taking photos that relate to the topic making the camera automatically adjust your settings and white balance to the scene to produce the greatest image possible. The basic automatic mode on this camera is a great setting for when on the go and in a hurry and for producing amazing photos.

The only thing I would complain about this camera would be on its movie mode. When taking a video you are unable to zoom during recording which is considered as a disadvantage to me but is considered not to be important to others.

As my latest, and first Panasonic camera, I would highly recommend this camera to others as a point and shoot for the year 2011. It is still a fairly new camera and is considered one of the better point and shoot cameras due to its advantage over others with its 8x optical zoom compared to 4x optical zoom on most cameras in this price range. You can find this camera at many different camera store locations priced at $229.99.
