I've had the TZ3, TZ5, ZS3 and now the ZS7. The first two were only ok - video mode not good, but the ZS3 and ZS7 have fixed the video mode and just keep adding features. The GPS on the ZS7 works surprisingly well. Battery life is ok, and I bought a couple of Power2000 batteries that last quite a bit longer than the stock ones. I had bought some Hong Kong ones off eBay for the ZS3 which don't work on the ZS7 - that is a drag.

I wish they had not moved to 12mp but am thankful they didn't go even higher like some of the competition. Image quality is just about as good as the ZS3 though so I can live with the larger files.

I love the PASM modes - finally I have control of my photos! I still have to do a video experiment to see how long the new batteries last. The old ones lasted just enough to fill an 8GB card, about 70 minutes. Now I have a 16GB card and based on my experience so far with video I am guessing I can go longer than 70 minutes. I use the camera quite a bit for both stills and video.

Great piece of work even though it isn't perfect - no camera is.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7

WOW! This camera's a computer! I bought it for a friend and he's in "toy heaven" with all the components. The picture quality at 12.1 MP is outstanding and well worth the fabulous price on Amazon. It's a little heavy for my purse use but fit conveniently in his pocket. What a deal on Amazon!


Battery life with GPS on is O.K.

I cannot add to any of the good reviews other than to say I left the GPS on to see the effect on battery power. Left it for about 3 weeks taking the odd photograph before the battery conked out, so I reckon the GPS doesn't affect battery life significantly.

Excellent P&S

Pros:
Sharp lens
Wide close, long zoom
Very capable anti-shake system
It does have iris for aperture
Metal body, excellent build quality
Fast auto focus, good metering
It creates beautiful colorful jpegs on iAuto
Manual modes for whoever wants to use
High resolution display
GPS
The flash is good for P&S
720p video in AVCHD is pretty good, on par with camcorders, which are more expensive then this camera itself
...and many more

Cons:
proprietary battery
video has streaks /white lines/ upon bright light sources, because of the CCD sensor
microphone is not on par with camcorders, it picks up ambient noise, but it is fine for narrating a video
nothing else major...

This is a compact super zoom close to perfection. Considering that I paid at Amazon on sale less then for a moderate camera, the ZS7 is just perfect. It does have good iAuto, it creates beautiful pictures with excellent sharpness and colors. It has wide lens and anti-shake works just perfect even in video mode. Being a perfect camera, it happens to be excellent camcorder too, surpassing any standard definition camcorder, and on par with entry level HD camcorders. AVCHD is handy, you can burn AVCHD disks and play on SONY or Panasonic TVs and BD players straight. I can recommend a software called multiAVCHD for authoring, it is free. Or you can play just straight from a hard drive through a video streamer to HDTV, if you don't like burning optical media. I found a good camera bag to fit - CaseLogic DCB-26. It does fit perfectly and it has soft inner line.
