The Panasonic DMC-TZ7EB-K packs a remarkable 12x optical zoom and a 25mm wide-angle Leica lens into a stylish, compact body.
It also allows you to record beautiful HD video with dynamic, true-to-life Dolby Digital Stereo sound. The AVCHD format allows almost double the recording time compared to the conventional Motion JPEG. There’s also a clever wind cut function which minimizes distracting sound from the background during audio recording.
The 25mm lens (equivalent to 22-300mm on a 35mm film camera) allows you to easily capture a large group of people, or expansive architectural structures and landscapes with dynamic width and rich perspective. This particularly handy in situations where you cannot step back or move away from a subject – ideal for shooting group portraits in a small room.
You’ll be able to blow up your best shots to poster size thanks to a 10.1 megapixel resolution and you can frame and playback your stills with ease using the bright 2.7 inch LCD screen.
Panasonic’s advanced Venus Engine image processing engine is able to record at high sensitivity settings, and it will reduce picture noise at different stages throughout image processing.
If you press the iA button then point and shoot, the camera does all the hard work for you: detecting and correcting hand-shake, focusing on faces, removing unwanted red-eye, selecting the optimal scene mode, correcting brightness. Oh, and did we mention it also continually tracks a moving subject, keeping it in focus?
