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

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 »

Cons Shutter delay (as you would expect).

We wanted to buy our son a camera for his eleventh birthday, and even though he is pretty responsible, he does have two little sisters, so we knew that we had to buy something that he wouldn't be anxious about sharing. We looked at the "kids" cameras, but they weren't cheap, and the reviews said... Read full review »

I held the camera a few inches off the water and snapped some shots of my daughter splashing on her float.  "Aren't you worried about dropping that?" said the gentleman next to me."  I smiled and said, "Nope," and went on to extole our new camera

This summer, I replaced my wife's camera.  I... Read full review »
