The lens on the Panasonic DMC-FZ20 looks bigger than the camera itself. Among cameras we've tested, this model's 12X optical zoom is the longest, with a 35mm-equivalent range of 36mm to 432mm. Despite the length, the lens protrudes only about 2.25 inches from the body when the camera is off, and 3 inches when it's on. The mechanism is entirely internal: The lens case doesn't move at all when you zoom, and it's nearly silent. The lens also allows you to use an f2.8 aperture at both wide-angle and telephoto settings--highly unusual, and very useful.
