4 out of 5 stars   Great camera for any occassion

Review submitted for Panasonic DMC-ZS7K LUMIX 12.1 MP Digital Camera with 16x Intelligent Zoom (Black) (PNDMCZS7K)
Pros: Nice Body Color, Large Clear LCD, Easy To Use, Good Image Stabilization, Fast/accurate auto-focus, Short Lag Time, Great Zoom, Good Image Quality
Cons: Short Battery Life, No Viewfinder
Other Comments: This is a great camera for anyone who wants some of the manual options but still wants a capable point-and-shoot. It takes great pictures on intelligent auto, but you can also tweak aperture, isos, etc. if you're feeling adventurous. I absolutely love the zoom on this camera--I got some great videos of a concert where I was all the way back in the lawn section. Speaking of videos, this camera takes great video--the audio is very clear and the images too. Overall I love this camera. It does suffer sometimes from the "panasonic tint" (where outdoor photos will have a somewhat teal tint) every once in a while, but it's not too noticeable and I sometimes prefer the way it comes out. All in all, this camera takes very, very sharp images, has great zoom, and a lot of fun manual options. The indoor photos aren't the greatest, but they come out much better if you use the program auto setting and change the light settings around. Still better than your average compact camera will put out. I think this is the best camera in its class (compact, long zoom).

5 out of 5 stars   Excellent Point and Shoot
By Xyne on September 07, 2010
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Panasonic DMC-ZS7K LUMIX 12.1 MP Digital Camera with 16x Intelligent Zoom (Black) (PNDMCZS7K)
Pros: Great Zoom, Easy Interface, Great features, Nice Body Color, GREAT PICTURE QUALITY
Cons:
Other Comments: I do not like hauling around a full sized SLR on vacation. And truth be told most pictures will not show the difference between a point and shoot and a SLR. Given that this camera is as close to the quality of an SLR I could find. With both shutter and aperture priorities as well as a great optical zoom, this camera comes as close to an SLR as it gets for its size. The only con I could come up for this camera is that some colors are slightly off. But I had to scrutinize several pictures to even notice it anyway. This is a great camera.

5 out of 5 stars   Better than expected
By TD on August 25, 2010
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Panasonic DMC-ZS7K LUMIX 12.1 MP Digital Camera with 16x Intelligent Zoom (Black) (PNDMCZS7K)
Pros: Nice Body Color, Good in Low Light, Good Image Stabilization, Great Zoom
Cons: Lag time too long
Other Comments: The clarity and the zoom set this camera apart from the rest. I was amazed how it could focus clearly and identify faces from very far away. Only complaint is the lag time between shots. But I haven't found a compact camera that is fast. Love the camera and the fact that I can shoot video also.

4 out of 5 stars   Excellent compact camera
By xiache on July 25, 2010
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Panasonic DMC-ZS7K LUMIX 12.1 MP Digital Camera with 16x Intelligent Zoom (Black) (PNDMCZS7K)
Pros: Great Zoom, Manual Controls, Good Image Stabilization, Nice Body Color, HD Movies
Cons: Color, Low light, Lag shutter delay
Other Comments: If you are looking for a 12x plus mega-zoom compact digital camera, you don't have to go any further. In this review, I am going to focus on the issues that I am happy with. 1) ZS7 is labeled as 16x Intelligent zoom, but the lens is labeled 12x. The additional 4x is coming from some extension and I am not sure how that works. 2) The HD video can't be played back with a HDMI cable on a LCD TV. I tried AVCHD Lite mode first. The default file is not mpg and not recognized by a LG or a VIZIO TV with the HDMI cable. After transferring to my computer, I had to rename it to mpg to be playable on my PC. Next I set it to mov mode, the TV still doesn't play it, but my PC computer can now take it. The only way for play back on a TV is to use the supplied RCA cable which is not HD quality. But the good news is at lease you can set the aspect ratio to 16:9 and it takes it well. 3) My Canon camera has a "vivid color" mode (and a few others) that makes the color really beautiful. SZ7 doesn't have color enhancement function. 4) Low light photo is quite poor. I didn't compare with other cameras but you would expect a LEICA lens to do a little better than this. 5) GPS is useless to me and wastes battery and hard to turn off. They probably should add a quick switch for the GPS in the next version.

Review submitted for Panasonic DMC-ZS7K LUMIX 12.1 MP Digital Camera with 16x Intelligent Zoom (Black) (PNDMCZS7K)
Pros: Good Image Stabilization, Great Zoom
Cons:
Other Comments: GPS uses battery power even when camera is off. Airplane mode eliminates battery drain when camera is off; but there is a few minutes of start up time for the GPS when the camera is turned on. As a result, "quick" shots may not have GPS data.

Other Comments: I'm just getting started with this camera, but am very impressed so far. The LCD screen is great, menus are complex, but give the user lots of options. The design, ease of use, size, zoom and macro are fantastic. I'd give it a higher rating, but haven't used it enough.
