Any one can advise if this is still worth buying please ? My main concern is it unwise to buy this or any camera using lion batterys, Ie if they are unavailable say in 5 / 10 years the lion battery cameras such as this will be useless , Yes i know but i want to keep a good camera for a long time advice on the fz 20 appriciated and the battery isue, noticed the newer but discontinued ive read fz 30 uses yet anouther different battery , so are the lions going to be obtainable like aa batterys will be i should think. I thank you for advice on these issues .

Rodo-
FWIW, there are too many third-party battery manufacturers out there to hold up a purchase of the digi based on this 'what-if concern'... The batteries will always be available for a digi such as this. And, at the price that Pany charges for their OEM, I'd imagine they'll keep on offering replacement/support for the FZ-xx models in the years to come... |

Redo,
I don't think you would ever have a problem with getting batteries. So many third party mfg's like telecorder says. Plus, FZ20 is a really good camera. You can go back and compare photo quality with the newer FZ30 and other camerasand I can't tell much if any difference. I added a link where I found 1300mAh batteries for $12.95 each and they do last longer than the origional 680mAh batteries.If your on a budget I don't think you could beat the FZ20 with the price drops I've seen lately. I just carry 4 batteries and a battery chargerfor two cameras and have never had a problem. Don http://www.powergears.com/ |
