Motion
The Panasonic ZS20 reproduced motion pretty well due to its 1080/60p AVCHD mode. The 60p really shone here, with sharp images and motion the blurred, but with little trailing or artifacting. The camera did suffer from some ghosting in our motion example video, but less than we typically see out of point-and-shoot cameras. More on how CamcorderInfo tests motion.
Video Sharpness
The Panasonic ZS20 performed very well, producing sharp images with its 1080/60p recording mode. We found that it was able to reproduce frequencies as high as 700 lw/ph vertically and 750 lw/ph horizontally, which is exceptional for a compact camera. The 1080/60p can be a bit of a pain currently in terms of ways to display it, as it's a newer compression format and there aren't a great deal of delivery methods.
