Photography BLOG have reviewed the new Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS20 - the camera features a wide angle 30mm 4x optical zoom lens with optical image stabilisation, 10 megapixel sensor, and 3.0″ screen. The cameras will be available from March in silver and black from Amazon:
“Just like the FX55 camera that it very closely resembles, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS20 is a stylish ultra-compact that you can carry with you wherever you go. It’s quite responsive with quick focusing, even in low-light conditions, although the burst shooting mode of 2.5 fps for 3 images seems a little pedestrian these days.”

“The SD1100 always feels snappy and responsive, thanks to Canon’s latest generation DIGIC imaging processor. Flash recycling times are decent (which is useful when shooting at a party or in the pub) although flash power is fairly limited.”
