Panasonic FZ20 (Longest Zoom in the world)

King Tiger · 21st July 2004

Panasonic announce the world first 5 megapixel camera with 12X Optical zoom.
Add the Tele Conversion Lens (DMW-LTZ10), it allows shooting at 1.5x with F2.8 brightness across the entire 324mm to 648mm zoom range (35mm lens equivalent).
Cool man.

Just can't wait to try out the FZ20. Btw, Z3 is already out this week. Shopkeeper friend of mine at SLS says it feels like a toy camera, supposedly the build is worse than the already very flimsy Z2.

Hope the FZ20 will arrive by National Day.
