Panasonic Lumix DMC TZ20 Digital Cameras (Panasonic ZS10)

Panasonic Lumix DMC TZ20 features the new high-quality LEICA DC VARIO-ELMAR lens system with 24mm ultra wide-angle* to powerful 16x optical zoom (35mm camera equivalent: 24-384mm).

The newly applied Nano Surface Coating boasts extremely low reflectance ratio compared with the conventional multi coating to suppress ghosting. With this Panasonic's black box technology, which is adopted for the first time to the LUMIX, the image delivered through the lens of the PanasONIc DMC-TZ20 has exceptional optical performance with stunning clarity that passes Leica's stringent standards.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ20 features a powerful 16x optical zoom lens (35mm camera equivalent: 24-384mm). This gives you highly natural expressions from people and animals that you can't get close to. It can also be used for shooting movies, and is designed to suppress noise while zooming. This slim, compact, pocket-sized camera can easily go wherever you do for both everyday snapshots and traveling.

Thanks to the Intelligent Resolution technology, the Intelligent Zoom is available with the DMC-ZS10 which extends the zoom ratio by approx. 1.3x maintaining the picture quality even combining a digital zoom. This means the 16x optical can virtually extend to 21x equivalent. Furthermore, the Extra Optical Zoom function that extends zoom power to 33.8x by using the center part of the large MOS sensor to bring subjects even closer.
