Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ7

Comment:

This camera was purchased after using the Zenith. Selected by many parameters, and in the end, lived up to its expectations. Let’s start with the fact that it is comfortable to hold in hand, has a suitable shape and light weight. Powered by two AA batteries, which is very important when they sit down – you can always buy some more batteries and keep shooting.In addition there are no problems with the search and purchase of a new or a spare battery. You can use memory MMC, SD and SDHC. Since MMC is not working fast and there are problems with video recording. But with other species – with a Bang. Quite a lot of shooting modes (not all placed on the wheel, but access is still not difficult). Manual and semi-automatic modes there. You can only adjust camera settings manually (exposure, white balance, etc.).By the way, the white balance is on the model (i.e. user) is a great thing! It is worth noting the possibility of optical image stabilization. She’s gorgeous. There are two modes: stabilization all the time or only at the time of shooting (works much better). With the second photographing mode even on the go! In General, for a six times zoom – an essential thing. The case is strong. Tempered glass screen. After a very good hit (of course by accident) on concrete, a small scratch on the housing on the aluminum line running around the lens, and a few mm crack on the glass – I thought he was scattering into pieces. Zoom, as already mentioned, six times optical. There are bells and whistles – Extra Optical Zoom – the picture quality is reduced to 3MP, and the zoom is increased to 9X.And also the digital comes to 36. The video takes 15 and 30 frames per second, as 640×480 and 320×240 in any combination. Zoom while shooting video is not working:( output is file mov format. Can’t shoot video longer than 22 minutes, even with a large stick. But the sound recording facilities: sound with rock concert was recorded without a single wheeze, and all the words in the song was clear! And when the noise level is low records almost everything I hear. Photo only jpg format. There are two levels of picture quality (jpeg compression). There is a very convenient calendar that displays images by date. Has a position sensor, and accordingly orients the photos correctly. There is a mode of Ultra ISO. Ie in poor light determines the speed of movement of the subject and automatically sets the sensitivity matrix. In the kit there is no case, but I highly recommend to buy that is not clogged with the lens – it will be quieter to work. In General, if You are dreaming of a SLR camera, but want something more than just a soap dish, then pay attention to this model.
