Go after those pictures-in-the-making with Panasonic's new 12.1MP High Sensitivity MOS Sensor and Venus Engine.(View Larger)
The ZS20K compact digital camera comes with the newly developed 12.1-megapixel High Sensitivity MOS sensor, and high performance image processing (LSI Venus Engine) provide high speed response, high sensitivity recording and superb image quality to capture even the most fleeting photo opportunities. The ratio of the MOS sensor and the Intelligent Noise Reduction system in the Venus Engine adjusts photos and videos taken in sensitive areas and creates clear, crisp imagery. For low-light images, the camera's Multi-process Noise Reduction System produces dramatically clear photos and videos. Intelligent HDR (High Dynamic Range) in the digital camera's iA Mode overlays several still pictures consecutively shot at different exposure levels and produces a single composite picture avoiding over or under exposure.

Advanced Technology Reduces Glare and Minimizes Image Blurring
Minimize blur and produce picture perfect photos with Nano Surface Coating technology.Panasonic's Nano Surface Coating technology, on the ZS20 camera, minimizes light reflection within the entire zoom range (380nm-780nm) thus reducing glare and producing super clear pictures.
