The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7 is a 6 megapixel point and shoot digital camera. It features a 12 x Zoom lens and several modes of operation, which makes it a prosumer camera. It has been replaced in 2007 by the FZ8
The main improvement over its predecessor, the FZ5, is a thumb joystick that can be used to tune the manual focus, as well as conveniently change the exposure (shutter speed and aperture values) for a full manual shot.
The lens is manufactured by the German company Leica. An optical image stabilization system is embedded in the lens, reducing blurring by compensating for hand shake.
Video recording is available at either 10 frames per second (fps) or 30 fps in VGA (640×480), QVGA (320×240) or wide-screen 16:9 (848×480) resolutions. The image can be directly outputted to a TV via a provided RCA cable.
The features are comparable to the ones offered by the Canon PowerShot S3 IS, among other cameras.
