Panasonic's new 10MP compact is easy to use and easy on the eye.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS20

Over the past few years, Lumix has become a brand to be trusted within the compact market, but can the trend continue? We test drive one of 2008's first models...

A great shooter for those who don't desire any manual handling, but not one to develop your skills with, which holds it back slightly

Panasonic DMC FS20

The Panasonic DMC FS20 is a 10 megapixel digital camera with a 4x optical zoom lens. It just about slips into a pocket. It scores well in all the important areas such as picture quality, ease of use and features.

Ease of use - design and build quality - automatic features - overall picture quality - wide screen movies

Shutter delay could be that little bit faster

"This camera is well worth taking a close look at if you are looking for a pocket camera that is a step up from the more basic models. It is easy to use, takes a good picture and has a large 3 inch LCD screen."

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS20

Improved Intelligent Auto mode ; vibrant 10.1Mp images ; large, good quality LCD screen

Occasionally lethargic shutter response times, Easy Zoom seems pointless, not compatible with FS5 marine case

The DMC-FS20 is every bit as impressive as the FS5; offering the same hassle-free interface with a slightly bigger LCD. If you're a casual happy-snapper with exacting standards (and zero patience), it will definitely satisfy.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS20

Superb features and fine-quality images make this point-and-shooter a keeper.

Big, 3-inch LCD adjusts screen brightness based on lighting. Large, easy-to-use joystick for navigating menus. Improved Intelligent Auto mode.

Slightly muted colors in daylight shots. Wide-angle lens isn't as wide as on the Lumix FX series.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS20

If you just want a camera that takes good shots without having to understand photographic jargon, buy the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS20.

Intelligent Auto is genuinely intelligent. Good quality images.

Small zoom ring. Macro mode is slightly slow.
