Now I think that that lens envelope has been pushed to 30x for the biggest zooms available, and who knows where it might end. Into this market niche comes the new Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7 with a seemingly modest 12x optical zoom Lumix Reviews

I agree with George, it’s only missing the RAW option.

6 months on this is still the first pick camera for a day time outing. I took it with the D90 on a recent one and frankly whilst the D90 had its usual problems deciding what exposure setting to use and overexposed whenever you let it, the Lumix hung on in there and was no hassle to use & carry alongside 1.3 kilos of DSLR!

Its especially impressive for the 25mm wide angle view it gives – that requires a lens change on the Nikon (11-16mm) and my Nikon kit lens of 18-105mm whilst good does not go as long as the Lumix either. At 6 x 4 and no or very little post production, the Lumix takes better images. However in good light my Canon Powershot A590 does too and is a little less likely to blow highlights though lacks the wide wow factor of 25mm on the Lumix.

The Lumix is so good I may buy myself one if I find my new camera phone isn’t the bees knees! It certainly reminds me of my Agfa & later Olympus pocket film cameras that I used instead of an OM1and heavy Kiron zoom.

It wasn’t that long ago that “superzoom” – or “ultrazoom,” if you prefer – digital compacts hovered in the vicinity of the 10x optical zoom multiplication factor that defined the starting point for the class. Now that lens envelope has been pushed to 30x for the biggest zooms available, and who knows where it might end. Into this market niche comes the new Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7 with a seemingly modest 12x optical zoom.

Panasonic makes great cameras. The colors on the ones that I have owned over the years have always been great. They also have great resolution and image stabilization.

heres a few, sample shots i've taken on the earlier version of this camera, same lens ect... (not edited at all, straight from the memory card) Its an awesome camera and i recommend it to anyone who can't afford an SLR, plus those who want a smaller camera to fit in your pocket. In fact i recommend it to everyone. (i have the DMC - ZS1, only about 200$ on Ebay now i think) **sorry if they turn out to big i'm new to this** [eimg link='http://www.flickr.com/photos/52586244@N03/4851792639/' title='farm' url='http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4142/4851792639_a73219226c.jpg'] Full zoom..

We (wife) wanted a smaller camera than my old Canon S5IS for her holiday. I used it sometimes also.

Basically its very impressive and in some ways made my D90 feel ancient and no better!

However as you see from the flag photo above it lets highlights blow out and you can’t pull them back in software. Maybe you can pull them down with ev adjustment but my wife shoots only in iA mode (intelliegent auto) which is otherwise very good. Photos are well balanced for white balance and exposure is ok except for above comment. I used this little camera in lowlight and its sure beats my Canon A590IS for lowlight performance – its much noisier however than my D90 (thank god else you’d not need one!) especially in lowlight.

The GPS is a bit of a w— really, it thinks Central Station Sydney (the Terminal actually) is Christ Church St. Lawrence (lol), George street! Else it may help you remember where you were and can be used to tag yourself on google earth – why would you?

Solid well built only grouse is too small for my hands and I often press button whilst holding it!

Cameras like this one are destined to make dslr’s redundant!

The biggest thing is you can print str8 from it no adjustment necessary in software – the first didgtal camera we have had that could do that although my D40 with 2 of its lenses one a nikon and one a tokina can often do that too – Thats a perfect situation for me, concentrate on the composition and then you ahve it – Nirvana!

The Panasonic ZS7 relies on a Mode switch to set the camera into either Record mode or Playback mode. It’s simple, but the disadvantage is getting caught in Playback mode when a photo opportunity strikes,Cameras with a button to switch between modes can return to Record mode with a half-press on the shutter button.
