The 25mm wide angle end of the zoom range makes this an ideal travel camera. The 300mm end is not bad
But even with the optical image stabilisation it is hard to get ultimate sharpness at this focal length. Exposure
Focus and resolution are good and ...

Images look soft
Images get noisy above ISO 200
Maximum aperture of only f/6.3
Screen could be higher resolution. No RAW capture. Expensive
Abstract: The super zoom compacts roll on: now with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7 (also known as the TZ10) Panasonic offers a 12x Leica optical zoom that puts into your hands focal range that matches a 35 SLR camera’s 25-300mm lens. Some lens!Panasonic describes ...
Abstract: It's always a joyous occasion when we're given the opportunity to test a camera that's chock full of features, but the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7 almost overwhelmed us with its deluge of options. We're frightened we missed out on a few elements, but in r...

Image quality, especially at higher ISOs, is not as good as its predecessor, Heavy noise reduction smudges fine details, even at low ISOs, and especially at ISO 400 and above, Highlight clipping is fairly common, Redeye a problem, though I'm not sure...
With the Lumix DMC-ZS7, Panasonic has tried to improve on a camera that didn't need a whole lot of improving. In most respects, the ZS7 is better than the ZS3 that it replaces, offering manual controls, a built-in GPS, improved image stabilization, fa...
Compact and attractive body design, 12x Leica Elmar zoom with 25-300mm range, Power Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S.) (supposedly better than previous generation), High resolution LCD, Extensive autofocus modes, include face recognition, Aspect rati...
Flash may be too close to grip for some hands, Zooming is too jerky for precise composition, Sprawling Menu system, Highlights often blown, Yellows are noticeably undersaturated and have a green or orange tint, more noticeable when printed, Some corner...
The Panasonic ZS7 and the Sony HX5V are so different it's not prudent to recommend one over the other. But after reading both detailed reviews (stay tuned for the HX5V's), you shouldn't have any doubts about which one best fits your style. I l...
