A review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7 digital camera is available at imaging resource.

The Lumix DMC-FZ7 is an ultra zoom camera, offering a 12x optical zoom, 6 megapixel resolution and a 2.5 inch LCD display. The DMC-FZ7 is also equipped with optical image stabilization, which helps reduce blurred photos caused by camera shake and is especially useful when using the long range of the zoom without a tripod. The DMC-FZ7 also features manual exposure control, as well as automatic scene modes, making it suitable to both advanced and novice photographers.

Here is a summary of the review conclusion:
“[…] The FZ7 combines good image quality, responsive handling, and very effective optical image stabilization in a very attractively-priced digital camera. […] With the FZ7, Panasonic made a number of improvements over previous models, including better viewfinder visibility in dim lighting, greater flash range, a larger LCD display, and a much-improved movie mode. The biggest weaknesses we found were high noise levels at ISO 400 and high chromatic aberration in the corners of the frame at telephoto focal lengths. (While noise is high though, it’s worth noting that ISO 400 shots from the FZ7 look just fine at print sizes as large as 5×7.) All things considered, while we’d like to see lower levels of image noise, the Panasonic FZ7 delivers a lot of performance and image quality for the money, clearly deserving of recognition as a Dave’s Pick. If you’re looking for a good deal on a long-zoom camera with image stabilization, the Panasonic FZ7 deserves your serious consideration.”
