The Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7 is a full-featured, compact digital camera with full high-definition video recording built-in. Available in 4 bold colors, the stylish ergonomic body is easy to carry and fun to use.

The camera's 12.1 megapixel image sensor captures all of your memories with rich color and remarkable detail. An integrated GPS unit automatically records location information to image files. Whether you're shooting wide landscapes or an action-packed sporting event, the 12x Leica VARIO-ELMAR zoom lens allows you to capture your vision without compromise.

Panasonic's newly developed Intelligent Auto Exposure (iA) Mode simplifies face detection autofocus, AF tracking for moving subjects, optical image stabilization, scene mode selection, and ISO to make great pictures as simple as point-and-shoot. Concentrate on the subject in front of you--let the camera do the rest.

The DMC-ZS7 brings HD video to your digital lifestyle like never before. Recording full 1280 x 720 at 30 frames-per-second in AVCHD format brings smooth, broadcast video quality to your family vacations, sporting events, and other memories. And with the included YouTube Uploader software and integrated HDMI port, it's easy to share your videos and pictures online or on your HDTV.

12x Optical Zoom Leica DC Vario-Elmar Lens
Leica optics are world-renowned for their high quality and exceptional value. Coupled with the LUMIX DMC-ZS7, the 12x Optical Zoom Leica DC Vario-Elmar lens provides dramatic wide angle to telephoto coverage. This range represents an incredible 35mm equivalent of 25-300mm. From landscapes to portraits, macro to sports action shots, this optic ensures first-class image quality in an ultra-convenient focal range.
12.1 Megapixel Resolution
Using an advanced 12.1 megapixel imaging sensor, the DMC-ZS7 is capable of creating detailed, poster-sized prints. High resolution also provides greater detail and flexibility when cropping and editing photos.
Built-in GPS
Employing an integrated GPS unit, the DMC-ZS7 automatically embeds latitude and longitude coordinates in image EXIF data. Geographical regions, city names, and landmarks are recorded to photos in real-time using an internal database. This information can later be used with social networking maps, project continuity, and other location-specific applications.
Intelligent Auto Exposure (iA)
Taking great photos should be as simple as point-and-shoot. That's the philosophy behind Panasonic's Intelligent Auto Exposure (iA). Combining face detection autofocus, AF tracking for moving subjects, image stabilization, scene mode selection, and auto ISO selection, the DMC-ZS7 delivers consistently beautiful photographs. The all-new Happy Mode optimizes color, saturation, and brightness for great photos and video.
Advanced Manual Controls
For users that want more creative control over exposure, the DMC-ZS7 offers Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, and Manual exposure options. By selecting one of these creative options, photographers can apply selective depth of field and timing.
POWER Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S.)
The LUMIX DMC-ZS7 is equipped with Panasonic's newly developed POWER Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S.). Twice as effective as the previous generation stabilizer, POWER O.I.S. automatically detects and corrects for camera shake. Even under low-light conditions, the DMC-ZS7 provides consistently sharp, crisp, photographs you can be proud of. The technology works seamlessly with or without a flash.
HD Video Recording + Easy Sharing
Using the professional AVCHD format, the DMC-ZS7 is able to capture stunning high definition video at 1280 x 720 resolution at a smooth 30 frames-per-second (minimum Class 6 SDHC/SDXC card required). Included software makes it easy to burn content to DVD or upload to YouTube.
High Speed AF
Autofocus with the DMC-ZS7 has been updated with improved performance for tracking action subjects. Quick AF technology activates autofocus before you even press the shutter button--minimizing AF seek time and dramatically improving action photography.

I bought ZS7 for summer travel. Pocketablity compared to my DSLR, good picture quality, 12X zooming ratio, 25mm equivalent wide angle lens, HD video, zoom capability during video recording, good sound capturing, one-touch video recording, SDHX card compatibility, large and sharp LCD are the reasons I select ZS7 among its competitors.
I have been using ZS7 for a few weeks now. The camera starts immediately and doesn't have any noticeable freeze after taking a picture. The picture quality is really par with a DSLR at the lower ISOs but quickly deteriorates exceeding the base ISO as expected from a small sensor camera. Since my wife never increases the picture size on her computer screen even 1600 ISO is acceptable for her. She uses the camera in IAuto mode which delivers what most people expect 95% of the time. There is some high-light clipping in the sunny conditions but this can be avoided by manually adjusting contrast and exposure. In fact ZS7 offers manual sharpness, noise, contrast and exposure controls like a DSLR. The vibration reduction on ZS7 works better than my DSLR lenses 70-300VR and 18-55VR. I often disable flash and take pictures with available light. The auto focus is fast for a PS camera, AF tracing and face recognition works. ZS7 can also memorize the faces and attaches names to the pictures. However this doesn't work most of the time. GPS functions without any problem, even ZS7 attaches the name of the area (monument, historic place etc.) to the picture automatically.
Video quality -720p is not as good as 1080p but the difference is indistinguishable watching a 46" TV from a normal distance. When I connected ZS7 to a 1080 flat screen with a mini HTMI cable the video quality seemed even better. I usually watch AVCHD files from the SDHD card inserted to PS3; I guess they can also be watched from a blue-ray player with a card slot. The audio quality is very good with stereo recording. One shortcoming of ZS7 – it still suffers from light strikes when recording intense light sources. AVCHD (best quality) recording time is about 1 hour with an 8 GB card.
The battery life is not more than 30-45 minutes under normal practice and an extra battery is a must if GPS is used all the time. The LCD screen is visible under intense sun shine but I still prefer an optical view finder.
What I cared for: Image, video and audio quality, shutter, aperture priority and manual controls, zoom and AF during video, wide angle lens, GPS, one-touch video recording, innovative features like intelligent exposure, intelligent zoom and etc., camera made in Japan
What I didn't care for: More pixels-12 MPix, Leica name on the lens, different body colors (although my wife demanded the red body color).
What I want to have more on the next camera: Blue tooth compatibility, better battery life.
What I bought extra: A well padded soft case; a generic mini HTMI cable, a generic neck strap, a real Panasonic battery from BH, 8 GB class 6 SDHD card.
I still own many film SLRs, a DSLR, a few Point and shoots and a Video camera.
I can call ZS7 as my wife's professional camera and I strongly advice DSLR users that if you want to enjoy your travel leave your DSLR at home and take ZS7 with you with a 16 GB card.

        I bought this for a friend. I like the ease of changing the flash settings as well as adjusting the exposure values. The aperture is limited and the images do not handle higher ISO too well. However noise reduction software fixes this. The manual is written at a level that assumes a certain level of knowledge that many buyers may not have.

          So far I have only taken about 30 pictures so I cannot really judge the camera fully yet. I am very pleased with the zoom and that is mostly what I have taken. The picture quality seems good. I wish there was a complete printed manual with the camera. I like to have a printed copy with me when I take pictures. The batteries are very hard to find here. I love the red color.
          Wish there was a view finder, the picture is hard to see in sunlight on the LCD.

              Comments about Panasonic LUMIX DMC-ZS7 (Red) Digital Camera:

              I bought this for a recent vacation since I didn't want to take my SLR, and needed something compact.It functioned perfectly, and gave me some great shots both on land and underwater. The controls were fairly intuitive once you play around with it a little, although as other reviewers have pointed out the battery does not last as long as would be preferable. So either charge it regularly or buy a backup battery. That said, it worked great with the optional underwater housing and gave some great shots of a wreck I was diving on as well as some nice video. The battery housing door seems a little flimsy, but with gentle care it should be ok. Overall I am pleased with my purchase.

                  This camera has all the bells and whistles! The LCD screen is big and bright, and all of the customization options are amazing, it is quick to focus and snap a pic and the colors are brilliant. We previously had gotten a Canon SX210 and returned it to the store, that camera is nothing compared to the ZS7. I am extremely happy with this camera!

                      The thing that isn't so great about this Panasonic DMC-ZS7: English and Spanish are the only available languages in the camera. My mother language is french, and I don't see why it is not available, while the same camera is sold here in Montreal with 4 languages including French. B&H have very gently offered me to return it without charge, but I kept it, confident that B&H would, for my next purchase, sell it with this language which is an official one in Canada.

                            I had a DMC-ZS3 for a couple of years now, and handed it down to my in-law so I can get a new one. Love the color, it is a beautiful red that is not too loud overall.

                            I use it for everything, self portrait, landscape, video taping activities. The image quality could be improved, and it is not very good in low light situations, but the sound and video quality is awesome for the price.

                            I wish it comes with a hand strap that tightens around the wrist so I can secure the camera while taking photos, especially self portraits.

                            All and all, I love it!

                              I absolutely love this camera. I bought it from this site on a friends recommendation and have since then recommended it (and site) to 3 other friends. I love the features, and was able to start taking great pictures out of the box, simple easy to use, but powerful.[...]I really like my digital SLR, and only bought this camera as a 'throw in the pocket' but now find that I am using this a heck of a lot more than I ever thought I would, just so convienient! I've had other "point and shoots" but never was satisfied with the image quality etc. This one has me smiling every time I use it.My only negatives on the camera are that I wish the battery lasted longer and the flash was a smidgeon more powerful.Great Camera, Great buy, Great site! THANKS!
