Terry, I was going to suggest that you wait for the recently-announced Sony HX9V to drop in price as an alternative to the TZ20, but as you've already sent for one I hope you find the touch-screen works OK and hopefully you'll be able to turn it off and use the normal buttons only when necessary!

I'm speaking from experience here - I bought my wife a compact with touch-screen last year (not a Panasonic) and it's a complete pain in the whatsit! It's almost impossible not to accidentally touch the screen when you don't want to at some stage (i.e. every time you switch it on!) and it's usually when you're outside in bright light so not only do you not always notice that you've touched something, because you can't see the screen all that well, you can't tell what it is you've touched so you don't know what action to take to get it back to where you want it!

Let us know how you get on with it, it certainly looks a well-specified camera to take anywhere.

Adey, I had a look at the Sony HX9V a nice compact as well, but let down by two points as you said new/out and the price still strong, and the movie I think did not have zoom in movie mode like the Panasonic, My last compact that has served me well was the Sony DSC N2 that had a touch screen and I did not have a problem with it.

Lets hope I do like it, I gave it at least 3 days before I decided, looking at all the specs.

I have not taken many images with this camera yet , but I was impressed with this one.

super shot full of detail thats for sure.

yes, that's really good - and depth of field is much less of a problem with the relatively short focal lengths on a compact. With a DSLR it would have been difficult to get it all-over sharp at this angle
