Since 2005 the FZ20 has been my light traveling camera and a backup for the DSLR's. The f2.8 12x zoom Leica IS lens is very good and the 5 MP allow good resolution. Aside from the viewfinder and AF speed its an ideal camera. It will stay available in my kit until it dies. It has been to Denmark, Canada, and a good share of the USA without a failure. When needed it also has a movie mode.

My new backup camera
Panasonic FZ20
12x Zoom lens is great

Image stabilization works well - a fun camera
