Panasonic Lumix ZS20 (also known as Lumix TZ30)
As the camera maker that essentially established the travel-zoom camera market, Panasonic has come a long way since the original compact super-zoom, the Lumix TZ1, they launched years ago.
The all new Lumix ZS20 (also known as the Lumix TZ30) packs a similar set of features as the Lumix ZS15 also launched today, but ups the ante with a high-resolution image sensor, more optical zoom, addition of a touchscreen, GPS, better movie mode and more body color options.
