The DMC-FZ7 features a lens with a remarkable 12x optical zoom, equivalent to a 36 to 432mm lens on a 35mm film camera. A film camera with an optical zoom this powerful would be so big and heavy, you couldn't handle it with one hand. However, the DMC-FZ7 is small, lightweight and easy to handle. It also has Panasonic's Extended Optical Zoom. While causing minimal deterioration by using the center part of the high resolution CCD, this function magnifies the image to give you total zoom power of 16.5x1. The DMC-FZ7 features a large, 2.5" diagonal LCD and the Power LCD function. The pixel-mixed readout method performed by the CCD increases the brightness level of the live image on the LCD, which greatly facilitates shooting in low lighting. Simply touch the Power LCD button and the display becomes about 40% brighter for easier viewing on sunny days. Less

Cons No super-wide angle, no RAW

I have sold my 5-Megapixel Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ5 a while ago in favor of a smaller camera, but wanted to see if the new 6-Megapixel Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7 is a remarkably different camera. I liked the FZ5's features, menu system and overall performance and liked the FZ5 better than the Canon S2... Read full review »

Here's the bottom line up front: I like this camera very much.

In this review, you will find numerous references to the Panasonic FZ20. My last digicam was the Pana FZ20, probably overall the best and most useful camera I ever owned. I sold the FZ20 a few months back, assuming that... Read full review »

I WAS SO HAPPY WITH IT.  i got... Read full review »

I recently bought the Nikon Coolpix S80 for a hefty price. Since I bought it, I haven't used it much. Although it is completely touch-screen, it blanks our  randomly. Then you have to take the battery out, let it sit, and bit it back in. This was a huge inconvenience to me, and I'm sure to you... Read full review »
