📸 Capture Crisp Moments with the Panasonic DMC-FZ7 6MP Digital Camera: 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom in Sleek Black Review

I bought this camera a few months ago and am very happy with it. If you take the time to learn all the features, you will end up with great pictures. Just don't expect the automatic or easy mode to do all the work for you. I never use auto or other scene settings. I mostly use it as a 35mm for total control. As for the noise, I hardly notice it at ISO 200. I can mostly get rid of what little I have with Elements by choosing Filter/Noise/Stain Removal. I printed a few 8x10 enlargements and they…

I'm not an experienced photographer but in my experience with the Panasonic DMC-FZ7 I've found that: In low light there's a lot of noise in the photos - The optical one Zoom lens is great - Macro feature lets you take incredibly detailed close-ups - Better to use a tripod if not using flash (to reduce blur). I've had the FZ7 for about a year and a half and I still love it and haven't had any issues with it so far. I used the camera best when hiking in the mountains, where I got some really good

Having had this camera for 2 months now I have taken several hundred photos including a trip to the Bahamas. It's so small and light that you don't even notice it's hanging around your neck. From the moment you turn it on, it takes very little time to start recording. The plastic construction feels very durable and leaves no fingerprints. I like the 12x zoom lens. The image stabilization function works very well, allowing you to take clear pictures of a cruise ship deck in strong winds. Photos…

It has been 5 years since I bought a digital camera. After WEEKS of research and LOTS of looking at reviews, specs etc, I've narrowed down my choice between this and the Canon PowerShot Pro Series S3 IS. First let me say that at this price point you can't beat this camera. If you want a SUPER cool REAL professional quality camera, then you MUST have an $800+ DSLR. However, THIS camera is pretty close. My ONLY disappointment is that cameras of this level still don't produce pristine, crystal…

First I have to give Revain 5 stars for their super fast and reliable shipping service. I placed an order on the afternoon of 11/01/07 and received this camera on 12/01. Received in perfect condition without waiting. What a surprise to see this tool waiting for me while my bouncer handed it to me. ONLY 24 hours and I received it. I don't understand how it can go so fast. Back to the camera, the only not-so-great feature is the plastic feel throughout the body. But hey, with all those super…

After outgrowing my Olympus 3MP point-and-shoot-and-pray camera, I did a lot of research and settled on the FZ7. It promises the best value for money among long- to mid-range cameras - and heck, it does. The aperture or shutter priority modes allow you to control photographic effects and are a great photography lesson for those of us who grew up with fully automatic cameras. I took it to a Memorial Day party this weekend and got a couple of shots that turned out great without even thinking…

I studied the Canon IS2 series but found that the LCD screen was too small and the swivel system for this screen is completely useless. Canon's camera design is very inferior to Panasonic's. I love the look of the Lumix FZ7. It's small enough to be carried around (fits in my smallest camera bag). Its controls are quite simple, although I haven't learned how to use them yet. I recently took this camera to a Billy Joel concert and got some pretty decent shots on the 800 speed setting and 12x…

Price and battery life: 5 stars I bought this camera from Revain at a very good price. A few days later, Revain lowered the price of this camera and I got another discount! The camera comes with a rechargeable battery (with charger) which I find more useful than having to replace the 4AA batteries (required for some other cameras). I've had this camera for over 2 weeks now and have charged the battery every 200-300 shots. I've noticed that shooting more at night or indoors that requires a flash

The Panasonic DMC-FZ7 is a very good update to the DMC-FZ5 it replaced, but at a much lower price! It's really amazing how these electronic devices are getting better and cheaper in such a short time. The camera takes great pictures and is easy to use. It's fast and comes with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that lasts for around 300 shots, which is more than you'll likely ever need for a single outing. [.]. It is not made by Panasonic (this battery costs about [.]) but works the same as an…
