Quick view

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7 is a digital bridge camera featuring a 6.0-megapixel CCD sensor, providing a maximum resolution of 2816 x 2112 pixels. It is equipped with a Leica DC Vario-Elmarit lens offering a 12x optical zoom (equivalent to 35-420mm in 35mm format). The camera includes optical image stabilization to reduce blurring from handshake. It supports both RAW and JPEG image formats and has an anti-shake mode for improved image clarity. The FZ7 utilizes a 2.0-inch LCD screen for image preview and menu navigation. For ISO sensitivity, the camera offers ISO 100 up to ISO 3200, giving flexibility in various lighting conditions.

Further technical details include a shutter speed range of 60 to 1/2000 seconds, manual and automatic exposure modes, and an electronic viewfinder with 235,000 pixels. Video recording is supported at VGA resolution (640x480) at 30fps with mono sound. The camera also features macro capabilities and supports SD/SDHC memory cards for storage. Power is supplied by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack.

The FZ7's 12x optical zoom Leica lens enables versatile shooting from wide-angle to super telephoto. Optical image stabilization helps capture sharp images even at longer focal lengths. The inclusion of RAW image format allows advanced post-processing flexibility. The camera's 2.0-inch LCD and electronic viewfinder provide multiple framing options. A broad ISO range enhances low-light shooting capabilities. Its manual controls afford experienced photographers creative freedom in exposure settings.

The Lumix DMC-FZ7's relatively small 1/2.5-inch sensor limits performance in very low-light conditions compared to larger sensor cameras. Video recording is restricted to VGA resolution without stereo sound, limiting multimedia quality. Battery life is moderate, requiring spares for extended use. The camera’s autofocus system can be slower and less accurate in dim environments. The body and ergonomics reflect its 2005 design, making it bulkier than modern compact cameras. Additionally, no built-in flash compensation dial may require manual adjustment in tricky lighting.
