hey there i'm josh goldman senior editor we seen it and this is the first look at the panasonic lumix DMC GS 20 and it's the company's top-of-the-line compact mega zoom featuring a 20x zoom that goes from an ultra wide-angle 24 millimeters and extends to 480 millimeters in a body that's just one point one inches thick which for right now is the world's thinnest beating out Canon Powershot SX 260 HS had one point three inches of course the CS 20 is more than just a long lens in a skinny body it's got a new 14 megapixel high sensitivity mas sensor and Venus engine image processor that will burst shoot at up to 10 frames per second at full resolution and let you capture Full HD video at 60 P in ABC HD format now those are joined by new modes for easy panorama capture and just shoot and pan and the camera handles everything else and a high dynamic range mode for more balanced exposures than you typically get with a point-and-shoot other features include a 3-inch 460 K dot resolution touchscreen LCD USB charging so no more taking the battery out to charge it and an enhanced built-in GPS now there's map data that's included on the bundled DVD which can be installed on the camera giving you more precise detailed worldwide maps than prior GPS models it'll be in stores in March for about three hundred and fifty dollars but we still have to do our hands-on testing before we know if it's worth picking up stay tuned for a full review I'm Josh Goldman and that's the Panasonic Lumix cs20
