Quote from the review:
“Lastly, there’s the battery issue. The FZ-20 comes with a proprietary Lithium Ion battery for fairly long run time, which means you can’t just buy replacement batteries at the corner store when you finally run out of juice. You can certainly buy extra batteries for the camera, but at $100 (Cdn.) a crack, it’s not cheap.
In the end, the Lumix FZ-20 is still a fantastic camera. The picture quality is stunning for a five megapixel model, and the optical image stabilization quickly becomes indispensable. The move towards more manual control will certainly impress the more pro-oriented shutterbugs, and even though it’s no replacement for a digital SLR model, it’s certainly a great backup model. Now if only they could get the price down …”
