REVIEW: Panasonic LUMIX DMC-TZ7 digital camera – Elias Plastiras (PC World)

Visited 68 times, 1 so far today

The Panasonic LUMIX DMC-TZ7 digital camera is a pocket powerhouse for the frequent traveller who wants to shoot high quality still images as well as above average videos. If it wasn’t for a couple of design quirks, it would be a five star camera.

The TZ in the camera’s name stands for travel zoom, and you’d never know by just looking at it that it has a massive 12x zoom lens made by Leica. It can capture photos at a wide angle of 25mm, or it can get you nice and close to your subject at its maximum zoom of 300mm (35mm equivalent). The lens barrel is concealed within the camera body and it sticks out only when you switch it on. At the maximum zoom, it still sticks out only 3cm. The camera body itself is approximately 10cm wide, 2.8cm thick and 6cm high. It doesn’t have a viewfinder, but it does have a 3in LCD screen that you can use to frame and playback your shots. -Elias Plastiras
