It can even take high-quality pictures from afar with its 16x optical zoom that, with the Intelligent Resolution technology, can increase to a 21x equivalent. Unlike other cameras of its class which are capable of long zooms, this baby doesn't lose its resolution when you zoom in on your subject.
And the TZ20is fast with focusing. The Sonic Speed AF helps users snap even the most fleeting picture opportunities. When you set the camera to the 3-D photo mode, your photo-taking experience will become clearer.
This option allows you to take 20 panning shots in 3-D quality at once. The TZ20 will then select two of the most suitable images to create a 3-D composite. Such features will definitely satisfy those who want more than just point-and-shoot cameras.
And apart from pictures, this camera will whet the appetite of budding film-makers. The 14.1-megapixel MOS sensor and Venus Engine FHD advanced image processor ensure high sensitivity and speed when you record videos.
Your movies can play back with high-quality stereo sound. But I do have a bone to pick with this shooter. Carrying around the bulky 219g hardware turns me off. Other cameras, such as the Canon PowerShot SD870 IS, are lighter to tote around. And if you are not one to fuss about little details, your trusty smartphone should be enough to do the snapping business for you.
But you should try this baby out if you are planning get a new compact camera. Thanks.
