Good Points

Compact, supplied lens hood

Bad Points

Battery life, poor viewfinder, subject blanks out when shutter pressed, blown highlights in bright side-on lighting, Image stabilizer is poor, too many blurry images 16mb card is an insult.

General Comments

Not bad for the money (£157 delivered) I expected better image quality, clearer viewfinder and certainly crisper images. Panasonic have to work on the blown hoghlights..too many pictures ruined. Metering seems a bit hit or miss. Good point and shoot camera but expect above average spoiled pictures

Computer Shopper: Product Reviews: Panasonic DMC-FZ7
Panasonic's DMC-FZ7 costs more, but hopes to justify its price with optical image stabilisation, higher specifications and some well-conceived controls.

DCRP Review: Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7 ($399) is the replacement for last year's popular DMC-FZ5. The changes on the FZ7 aren't terribly dramatic, though all are welcome.
