Default Fz20 and noise compared to other 5mp camera's

Hi there

Ive decided to go with the Panasonic Fz20, Just have one more question
How is the image quality compared to other 5mp camera's.
Have checked out many review sites.
Just want to know, what the consumer and daily user thinks.

Thanks in advance.

Jamie

The FZ20 is a ZLR camera.. You should take your posts to the new ZLR
group

news:rec.photo.digital.zlr

If your provider hasn't added it yet, you can request that they do.

Thanks..

A lot of people are going to take offense at you trying to do just that. I
know I do.

Check the sensor size for a guide on this. The smaller 1/2.5" (IIRC)
sesnsor on the FZ20 will mean more noise than with the 2/3" sensor (IIRC)
on the Nikon Coolpix 5700, for example. However, you don't buy the FZ20
purely because of its noise characteristics. The images it produces are
fine for "normal" use, but you should check them yourself against your own
needs and image display means.

BTW: there is a new newsgroup: rec.photo.digital.zlr where SLR-like
cameras can be discussed. You will be welcome there.

Cheers,
David
