Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ7
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ7 is not much different from the previosu Panasonic models like the DMC-LZ5. While both haev almost the same features, the LZ7 is a bith bulky but with a higher 7.2 megapixel resolution. The LZ7 boasts of new features found in other top end compact cameras like Optical Image Stabilization and blur warning which makes sure you get clear and crisp photos.
One of the most common problems when shooting photos is bad lighting and movement of the subject and the High Sensitivity mode of the DMC-LZ7 which provides up to 3,200 ISO will help you get better shots despite these conditions.
Aside from the high pixel resolution you also get a 6x optical zoom lens, 4x digital zoom and a 9x Extended Optical Zoom which lowers the resolution to 3 megapixel so you minimize loss of quality.
What is nice about the LZ7 is the Easy Zoom feature which provides a shortcut to the main zoom settings. By just pressing the button next to the shutter button, you can choose one zoom setting from another. It has a 2.5 inch LCD monitor for previews, with a high angle option that is ideal for getting overhead shots when in a crowded place.
