The TZ25 (the stripped down version of the TZ30) strangely seems to get better reviews for image quality:

I was just about to say the same thing John, I had the TZ10, so upgraded (or so I thought) to the TZ20 - and it's absolute rubbish, picture quality is poor, flash is dreadful, it's now sat in the box and gone back to the TZ10.
