Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7 user reviews

David Glasgow 18 June 2006

Good: Sharp pictures, 2.5-inch LCD screen, image stabilisation, and strong flash

Bad: People who run it down, especially who never owned one!

Comment: This is a very special camera, so light, yet very well made, has a nice feel in your hands....
The colours are spot on, I never have to adjust too much, very pleasing results!

Another nice element is the image stabilisation, which works very well indeed, much better than other different cameras' stabilsation, as Panasonic have been in this field for a long time. They have received praise all over the world for their mega O.I.S which is ahead of its time. It means taking pictures without blur 99% of the time, especially at slower shutter speeds. Finally I will close by saying the battery is perfect, it holds a lot of power, enough to last a whole week without needing to recharge, which takes only just over 2 hours! No more need for AA batteries .

9/10 for build and camera layout and 10/10 for image quality as it seems to get everthing spot on (for the asking price of £260 which I paid, an excellent investment).

Thanks for reading!
