📷 Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH20K 14.1 MP Digital Camera | 8x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom | 2.7-Inch LCD (Black) – Enhanced SEO Review

I buy other brands and when they break and I have the choice to do it all over again, I buy Panasonic like I should have. I've been researching digital cameras for under $180 for a few months now and in that time several FH20's have rolled in and out of my Revain car while I was looking around. My last camera was a Sony with constant lens problems (DSC-S600), which seems to be somewhat typical of Sony. Count me in. All "FH" Lumixes are rated very well. I wanted the most powerful optical zoom in

I bought this camera because I needed a camera in my shirt pocket for those times when other cameras aren't practical. I looked at several other brands before purchasing the FH20 based on user reviews. In general I am quite satisfied. I didn't give 5 stars because nothing is perfect. The camera is solidly built and therefore heavier than most of its competitors. However, there is a reassurance that the camera isn't as fragile as most of its competitors. The photos that come out are of high…

This camera takes good pictures on a sunny day (even in partial shade) and good close-ups with a flash. The flash will illuminate a pitch-black room. However, if you place a person in a distant room, the room and person appear as something dark (random shot from the side, preventing the camera from detecting the face and focusing on the person). On cloudy days outside, the camera takes darker pictures than I would like. So it's a mixed bag - during the day bright daytime photos are fairly sharp
