What's Hot

Improved Intelligent Auto mode; vibrant 10.1Mp images; large, good quality LCD screen

What's Not

Occasionally lethargic shutter response times, Easy Zoom seems pointless, not compatible with FS5 marine case

The Final Word

The DMC-FS20 is every bit as impressive as the FS5; offering the same hassle-free interface with a slightly bigger LCD. If you're a casual happy-snapper with exacting standards (and zero patience), it will definitely satisfy.
