Are you saying that the FZ20 should be compared to the Olympus Camedia
C-8080? The Olympus is 8 megapixel, the Panasonic is 5. The Panasonic
is a long zoom, the Olympus is a wide zoom. I am not saying that the
Panasonic is a poor camera. All reviews put it at the top of the long
zoom 5 megapixel selection, but the Olympus has much greater
resolution and a superior lens. Some of us do not need that long of a
telephoto reach.


For many people 5MP is enough.

What makes you say that the Olympus lens superior? They are lenses
meeting two different requirements (5MP at 36 - 432mm zoom, 8MP at 28 -
140mm zoom).
