Key Advantages

The Dimage Z20's standout feature is its versatile 10x optical zoom lens which covers a broad range of focal lengths from wide-angle to telephoto. Its 5.1-megapixel sensor delivers images suitable for 4x6 and medium-sized prints. The inclusion of RAW format support allows photographers greater flexibility in image editing. Manual control options grant users enhanced creative control beyond automatic modes. The compact bridge design balances ease of use with advanced features. AA battery compatibility ensures convenient power replacement worldwide.

Limitations

Despite its strengths, the Dimage Z20 has some drawbacks, such as a relatively small 1/2.5" sensor that limits low-light performance and dynamic range. The 1.5" LCD screen is rather small and of modest resolution compared to modern standards. Its USB 1.1 interface results in slow image transfer speeds. Video recording is limited to VGA resolution and lacks advanced features. Autofocus speed can be sluggish in low light. Additionally, the camera's burst shooting capability is limited and buffer size is small.
