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

The PowerShot A3300 IS digital camera has all the power you need to capture your life your way. At heart, though, it's a true A-Series camera: incredibly easy to use whether you're an experienced photographer or a beginner. 16.0 Megapixel resolution delivers beautiful images with every detail intact. A 5x Wide-Angle (28mm) Optical Zoom gets you up close quickly and puts more picture in every frame, while the Optical Image Stabilizer ensures clear, steady shots every time. Less

Panasonic Lumix? DMC-FZ7 6-Megapixel Mega-Zoom Digital Camera with Image Stabilization

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 »

Panasonic DMC-FZ7, a lot of camera at a reasonable price

Pros excellent functionality, quality superzoom lens, great feature set, fast response, good...
Cons limited close-focusing and macro, minor fringing and color aberration
Recommended it? Yes


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 »

Canon Powershot A3300 IS

byHoward_Creech Jul 16, 2011
57 Helpfuls 58 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Easy to use, Very good pictures, and HD video
Cons Slight tendency toward over-exposure, can’t use the zoom in video capture mode.
Recommended it? Yes

Canon introduced several new digicams at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show, but the compact Canon PowerShot A3300 IS (which replaces the very popular A3100 IS) may be the most interesting of the lot. At first glance, the A3300 IS doesn’t look like the culmination of almost 200 years of... Read full review »

I have a Cannon Digital Camera and I really like it. I think that Cannon is one of the companies that makes the best cameras, i bought a Cannon digital camera because my photography teacher told us that Cannon and Nikon are the best brands. I love how the pictures come out; the quality. The thing... Read full review »
