A review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7 digital camera has been posted at PhotographyBlog. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7 is 6 megapixel camera equipped with an impressive 12 times optical zoom lens and image stabilization, which allows you to use the long zoom without using a tripod. Offering a range of exposure modes, raning from fully automatic or fully manual, and a selection of scene modes the Panasonic DMC-FZ7 should be of interest to both photography novices and ambitioned photographers.
The reviewer gave the DMC-FZ7 4 out of 5 points and writes:
“Overall, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7 is a stylish, easy to use, advanced camera with that 12x zoom lens as its main attraction. The noise issue is by no means a show-stopper, particularly if you live in a sunny climate or tend to shoot mostly outdoors, but it does stop me from recommending this camera more strongly. If you’re really interested in the massive focal range on offer, then the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7 should definitely be on your shopping list..”
