Burst shooting

The ZS20 is impressively fast. It's a little slow to start up and shoot, about 2 seconds, but once it's on it focuses and shoots fast and is ready to go again in less than a second. That's pretty much unheard of for this category of camera. It also has impressive burst shooting capabilities: up to 10 frames per second at full resolution with focus and exposure set at the first shot or 5fps with autofocus.
