Panasonic’s DMC-TZ7 has been around for a while now, although the company maintains it in its current range. Its not surprising, because it’s one of the few compact super-zooms on the market that includes HD recording – its closest rival is Canon’s Po...
Even if you’re not interested in taking movies, the rest of the DMC-TZ7’s features – coupled with its performance – make this camera well worth the money. If we had to choose between this and the PowerShot SX200 IS, it would be no...

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ7 is a compact camera toting AVCHD (Audio and Video Compression for High Definition) and is a format used in some digital camcorders. It comes with improved face detection and image stabilization, and a 25mm wide-angle lens, 1...
Compared to the pumped-up 24x lenses sported by the Pentax X70 and Nikon 90, a ‘mere’ 12x zoom might not seem so super - until you see what this Panasonic’s Leica glassware is capable of. Not only does it run from a gob-smacking 25mm ult...
The only area where the TZ7 struggles is with its 720p HD movies. The clips themselves look bright and strong, with good Dolby Digital Stereo sound, but zoom and focus both slam on the brakes, making it tricky to capture fast-moving action.
Passport? Check. Tickets? Check. Funny looking money? Check. Now there’s one more essential to add to your holiday suitcase – a pint-sized, all-in-one camera that delivers barrels of photo pleasure. It might not be cheap but the TZ7 represents...

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 wasnt for a couple of design quirks, it would be a five star camera. The TZ in the cameras name stands for travel zoom, and youd 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 max...

The price puts the camera up against some impressive entry level DSLRs, any one of which will produce better images, albeit without the benefit of portability and the video mode.
This is a very good camera. Indeed it is one of the best compacts, as it should be at the price. Panasonic seem to have dealt with the noise problem that has plagued their compacts in the past. Images are now clean and sharp, at least up to ISO200, and...
