Could someone help with a side by side pic of a fz20&30's camera size.

[rookie13815]

I'm looking for a side by side comparison picture of the actual cameras themselves. I have handled fz 5's and 20's but cannot find a 30 to compare to. I am only interested in the 20 or 30 so this will be a big deciding factor. The size of the 20 is very comfortable so I hope the 30 is not too much bigger. If you can only recommend another camera of similar size to the 30 that I could handle it would be appreciated also.

Thank you for your help,

Billy

I don't have a picture but I have held both at the same time. The 30 is a bit heavier as well as touch bigger than the 20. But the size difference is minimal.

I went with the 20 because at the time I was buying, the FZ30 was still very new on the market with not many reviews/commentaries on it whereas the FZ20 was a camera that had a lot of good feedback.

If you go to http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/panasonicfz30/
you'll see a side-by-side as well as a comparison chart. As Tygersclaw said, there's not a lot of difference, though the 30 is a bit heavier.

You can COMPARE the two using this site's camera COMPARE.
The above is from the 'compare' but when I tried to post it all formatting was lost and the resulting test was all mixed up. In the 'compare' just highlight both the 20 and 30 using the control key.
