I expected to buy a Lumix LX series or the Canon S95 - both attempts to match the capabilities of an SLR as much as possible in an easy-pocket camera. But when I read the reviews, I was more confused, until I remembered the basic physical laws are not repealed. MP Digital Camera 4x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom 2.7-Inch LCD

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH20K 14.1 MP Digital Camera with 8x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.7-Inch LCD (Black)
I bought this camera specifically for a vacation to Rio de Janeiro. I also have a Nikon DSLR, I love, but can not afford to carry around Rio. I wanted something I could easily put in my pocket and pull out to quickly take pictures.
I checked several point-and-shoot cameras and all the suffering, it is almost standard issue with Point and shoot - do not deal well with low light, blurry when compensates for low light, the delay time, etc. These things are pretty much a fact that point and shoot.
After playing a few different camera, I chose the Lumix DMC-FH20. The main reasons Zoom - 8x optical, and then up to 32X digital with the correct settings.
On my trip, had this camera does not disappoint. Sure, I had to play with the settings a bit to get the desired effect, but I basically just used for auto, landscape, night, landscape and macro settings. All this worked perfectly.
In low light, I had to stabilize the camera on a bench or a fence, but it is expected and not a dead camera.
All in all, I love this camera and found it worth the price I paid (about $ 180us). I find it far exceeds any other camera I've played with (about the same price point).
I would buy the same camera again - no questions asked.
