The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7 is reviewed at Digital Camera Resource and found to be an excellent ultra-zoom camera: ‘The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7 takes a very good ultra zoom camera (in the FZ5) and makes it even better. The new features, which include a larger LCD with better low light visibility, a more powerful flash, manual focus, and a new and improved movie mode, make the FZ7 one of the best cameras in its class.
Photo quality was very good for the most part, with noise being the FZ7’s weak spot. The camera took well-exposed pictures, with accurate color and good sharpness. Panasonic has been good at minimizing purple fringing in their recent cameras, and the FZ7 is no exception.’

As a result, you get the full 8.4MB of information in every panoramic shot.’
