Rated 100% by by J.-Klugmanremember, the best camera is the one you have with you, and it's very easy to carry this camera.

Rated 80% by by TrustedReviews (Nov, 2011)Touch screen operation aside, in terms of handling the TZ20 is fairly conventional.
megapixels
| 0 MP | 14 MP   | 20 MP |
Lumix DMC-ZS10 by M.-Henri-De-Feraudy (Sep, 2011)At wide angles the pictures a pretty sharp, but I really wonder why we are given 14 megapixels, whereas 10 megapixels would probably give you just as good an image, with smaller files.
sensor size
Lumix DMC-ZS10 by Photography Blog (Feb, 2011)You can only view the results on a 3D TV (the TZ20 records standard MPO files), and although it isn't as effective as images taken with Panasonic's 3D Micro Four Thirds lens or the Fujifilm 3D W3, for example, it does create quite a convincing effect which particularly suits subjects that are close-up to the camera.
wide angle lens
Lumix ZS15 by David-of-Lombard (Dec, 2012)The main reason for me (and the one most reviewers never mention) is the extra optical zoom up to 25x if you limit the image size to 5 MPix which is large enough for a quality 8x10 inch print.
aperture size
Lumix ZS15 by David-of-Lombard (Dec, 2012)The camera has a digital zoom in addition to the 50x which I never use.
zoom range
| 0x | 16x | 20x |
Lumix DMC-ZS10 by Chadwick-D.-Virgil--world-travelin--book-worm (Mar, 2012)Outdoor shots were great, and the excellent lens lets you get the wide shot, or zoom in for very good detail (without the distortions of a digital zoom on a lesser camera).

Lumix DMC-ZS10 by Chris-Raab (Jan, 2012)The size of the camera seems perfect in my hands, not too small and but just the right size that it feels comfortable and secure in my hands.

Image quality, low light pictures
I am not interested neither in touch screen nor in gps, but only in high quality images, low light picture, macro images but also panoramas.

Mostly for traveling.
I am not an expert but do love photography. I love the results of a SLR but they are often too big to travel with. There are so many choices when it comes to compact cameras I honestly don't know...
