I've got the FZ20, and all I can say is the lens on the Lumix series is just unrivalled.. the media gives so much praise to Casio and Sony for putting out mega pixel pushers.. when we've reached a point where the quality of the image isn't getting much better to the naked eyes of the consumers.
Not including engadget of course, you guys are giving props to one of the most under-rated cameras in mass media. Respect.
I think the FZ20 rules, while the lens is not full 2.8 aperture this thing is great for your mid con/prosumer photographer who is sick with crummy kodak first party lenses and bad ass software.
Worth every penny but if you want full 2.8 aperture, a slightly clunky manual focus and a bit more flexibility with the shooting modes then pick up the model up the FZ20, don't bother with the FZ30 it makes far too many compromises.
