donkuok,

I noticed you have the FujiFilm 4900Z. I am curious to know if the FZ20 takes better photos at 1600x1200 when compared to the fuji. I know the FZ20 is 5mp, so I am not comparing resolution but I am more interested in color and clarity. Hopefully you can post some comparisions.

Thanks very much.

have not tried that. I presume FZ20 would be much better quality than FujiFilm 4900Z. Anyway i may try later

As requested, I've made a comparison with Fz20 and Fujifilm 4900Z. Here you go...

Fujifilm 4900Z, Auto Balance, ISO125, 1/3s, 1600X1200


FZ20, Auto Balance, ISO100, 1/3s, 1600X1200


Conclusion, FZ20 definitely a winner. I found fujifilm's white balance a bit warmer. FZ20 exhibited correct white balance exact from my eyesight

to be fair, I tried both ISO200

Seems like Fujufilm 4900Z not as sharp. Also, it exhibits a little more noise than FZ20...

It's considered not bad liao for 3 years ago.

Thanks for the comparisions. FZ20 really sharp and virtually no noise at iso200.Time to save money for a new FZ20
