UUltra wide-angle and ultra zoom. The compact ultra zoom Lumix DMC-ZS10 / TZ20 features 14.1MP resolution (1/2.33-in. MOS), 16x ultra wide-angle optical zoom (24-384mm equiv.), optical Image Stabilization to help reduce blurred shots due to camera shake, a 7.6-cm (3.0-in.) Touch Screen LCD display (460k-dot), and Full HD Movie 1920×1080 in AVCHD with stereo audio.

The Lumix ZS10 / TZ20 adds GPS functionality, blazing fast Continuous Shooting at 10fps (full resolution), a touch screen LCD and Full HD video. Though I prefer to use the traditional control buttons, I like the option of using the touch screen if I so choose. The touch screen makes it specially easy to tell the camera where to focus with a simple touch to that area.

The built-in GPS system automatically tags the location data where a photo is taken with its latitude and longitude in the Exif data. Its country/location database covers 203 countries or regions and contains more than 1,000,000 landmarks over 78 countries or regions to show the name of the Country/Region, State/Prov./County, County/Township, City/Town/Village and Landmark.

The Intelligent Auto (iA) mode makes it easy to take great shots with this camera. Beginner photographers will appreciate the manual exposure modes that allow them to learn, experiment and grow in their photography skills.

The Panasonic ZS10 / TZ20 uses the SD / SDHC / SDXC memory card.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS10 / TZ20 should make a great travel camera. It is versatile and choke-full of practical features. It is available in Black, Blue, Red or Silver (depending on country) and is priced at about US $399.99 (CAD $399.99).
