Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7 12.1 MP Digital Camera with 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 3.0-Inch LCD (Black) Review

This is an amazing piece of technology. Not only take great photos, but the tag-board GPS to the site, which includes not only the longitude and latitude, but the actual name of the site. The 12x zoom is excellent and the image stabilization seems to work very well, even in video mode. The HD (720p) video is excellent. There are a plethora of features and full manual control. The intelligent automatic mode works very well, even in difficult lighting conditions. For mostPart, you can simply use the camera in the car and shoot. But the P, A, are S, M modes if you want more creative in difficult lighting situations that can not adequately address the IA.

All this is contained in a pocket device in a position so it is ideal for holidays and family events. The most important thing is the quality of photos and are very good to excellent with this camera. The range of 25 mm to 300 mm telephoto range is very useful, especially around the widest part.
There are tons of features included with this camera, you must read the included PDF manual to get the most from it. My only complaint is I wish there was a printed version of the complete manual rather than a simple PDF. Otherwise, this camera is a real winner.
