Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7 Review

CNET have published their video review and normal text review of the new 6 megapixel Panasonic Lumix FZ7, a fairly compact ultra zoom camera, it features a Leica 12x optical zoom lens with image stabilisation and a 2.5" screen. The camera also features a high resolution 16:9 aspect ratio video mode with sound:

"Compared to digital SLRs and some other megazoom cameras, the small, lightweight 6-megapixel Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7 feels almost like a toy. Only after acknowledging its powerful 12X (36mm-to-432mm, 35mm-equivalent) optically stabilized lens, manual controls, extended selection of scene modes, and VGA movie capture do you realize that this camera's capabilities far outstrip its size and weight. Despite some image flaws, this modest upgrade to the 5-megapixel Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ5 will likely be as popular as its predecessor, appealing to a broad range of photographers who want a camera that will allow them to improve--or prove--their photographic skills."
