Warranty Warning --- In addition to having to pay to return the products .... Lemnar will charge you a Shipping and Handling Charge of: $7.50 ($12.50 if Canada, International varies on location) per battery pack. $10.00 ($16.50 if in Canada, International varies on location) for each charger or tripod for any warranty exchanges .... (PER BATTERY) The fail to mention this when they post thier 2 year warranty. Warning - This Lenmar battery can be HARD to remove! Bought two of the Lenmar equivalents to Panasonics CGS-S002A. After a few charge/discharge cycles BOTH batteries would jam in the camera ... very difficult to remove. Both batteries developed a noticeable bulge in their case that made them dam* near impossible to get out of the camera. Lenmar did replace them with two new batteries ... which promptly developed the same problem. Will now try to get my money back from Lenmar ... tired of the hassle. FZ20 user Before i bought my FZ20 i did alot of research not only about what assecories to get with the camera, but where to buy them from. Read alot of reviews. I ended up ordering 1.) Two Equivalent to Panasonic CGA-S002 Camcorder/Digital Camera batteries (same ones i'm doing the review for.) I'll go to a concert, take a hundred pics and only go through one battery. Panasonics offical battery costs around 40 something plus shipping and handling if you order it online. I paid 50 altogether for 2 batteries that last just as long as the Panasonic (actually a bit longer then one they sent me with the camera.) Can't beat that value. Here's what i also recommend: a Permaraal 72mm to 62 mm adapter ($40 bucks) and a 62mm filter UV filter of your choice ($15- 30)(mainly to protect the lens, i keep it on all the time.) 62mm filters don't affect the picture or lighting quality, and they're cheaper. Plus you need at least a inch and a half long adapter so the lens has room to move. The 72mm one they send with the camera is TOO long. Also, get a micro fiber cloth. I seriously recommend MicroTear. Awesome brand. For a case, go with Tamrac, i got a Tamrac 5314 Travel Zoom 4 Camera Holster bag. Fits perfectly even keeping the 62mm adapter on. And when i want it off, i keep it at the bottom of the bag, no big deal. I got mine from bhphotos for 17 [...] I suggest getting your camera from butterfly photo, i got my FZ20S for 388 for a grand total of 397.80, no tax. If you get it from Best buy or Circuit city expect to end up paying around 550. From amazon; 500. Look into getting a tripod as well, i can't stress how important they can be. If your not serious about getting into photography i don't recommend the FZ20. Get a cheap Cannon dig ;). Or go with the compac series of Panasonic's Lumix brand. Yah the ones with the crappy lenes. Hope this review helps.
