In high-contrast scenes the Panasonic TZ20 holds the highlights well and produces a nice range of tones. View the full-size image
The Panasonic TZ20's wide focal range let me stand at the back of a crowd hovered around this group of buskers and zoom in for a more intimate portrait of the guitar player. View the full-size image
Pinhole mode. Sometimes this effect worked well; other times it didn't at all. View full-size image

HDR turned off. The same scene as the image above, this time shot in Aperture Priority mode. View full-size image
