Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7 Digital Camera - An Honest Review
By Ryan B. Smith - Ezinearticles

At the time of writing, the new Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7 would definitely be one of my favorite compact point-and-shoot digital cameras in the market. In a nutshell, this is a compact model that comes with a large array of controls that you can tweak with, making it perfect for those who aspire to have a little more control in using their compact digital cameras.

The new Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7 can take images with up to 12.1 megapixels in resolution. This model has more than two dozen of shooting modes such as Food, Snow, Fireworks, Film Grain, Soft Skin, and Hi-Speed Burst modes, just to name a few. This large selection of shooting modes will prove to be delightful especially for those of us who love to inject a little control and creativity into our photos. On top of those shooting modes, there is a handful of additional special effects to choose from.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7 has a minimum shutter speed of 1/2000 of a second and a maximum of 60 seconds. It also comes with a 25mm wide-angle Leica DC Vario-Elmar lens that allows for a larger shooting area. Another noteworthy feature on this model is its 12x optical zoom. Some of the other standard features would be its HD video recording mode, face detection and optical image stabilization.

One of the most delightful features on the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7 would have to be its GPS feature that lets you tag the location of where the photos and videos were taken. When the feature is turned on the photos and videos taken will automatically be tagged with the GPS coordinates of the location.

Most important of all, the quality of the photos and videos taken on this camera were very good. For the photos, the images were sharp with good color accuracy and fine details. The HD videos taken on this camera was also very good, close to those taken on mini HD camcorders (the zoom feature works while it is in HD mode). All in all, if you are looking for a compact digital camera that is stylish, takes great photos and has a wide array of features, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7 will make an excellent buy. At the moment, this model is priced at just around $295 per unit. Talk about a bargain!
