 Good, but hard work! March 16, 2010
R. Bartlett (U.K.)
I've had my new camera for about a week now so these are my first impressions -my previous cameras have both been from Canon, the last an Ixus 950 is and I decided to try Panasonic because they seem to get better reviews than similar cameras from Canon.
Good things: 1)I'm really pleased with the picture quality
2)The camera is solidly built (I killed my last camera by jumping on it! I'm a primary teacher and it fell out of my pocket)
3) The battery life doesn't seem as bad as some reviews suggest. I use the camera for short periods every day and haven't had to charge the battery yet.
Less good things: 1)It's less intuitive to use than my Canon cameras - I've actually had to read the instructions! The range of different menus is bewildering and its not obvious how to do simple things like delete photos. I know that makes me sound stupid, but when I first got my Canon camera I had never had a digital camera but it was easy to figure out how to do things, you only had to go into the menus if you wanted to.
2) The video quality is good but you have to be careful which kind of video file you make or it can be difficult to play back. Also, when I'm busy at work I keep pressing the video button by mistake.
In short, love the picture quality but don't find it so fun and effortless to use - not a good first camera!

Looking at previous reviews of this camera may put you off slightly, there is mention of poor battery life and loose dials, I bought this camera recently and have not found these a problem, the dial may now have been corrected as I have not had any problems with this. The battery is probably not as good as my Olympus mju700, but I have not found the battery to be poor I was initially looking into buying a spare but since I have not had issues with it I am now not considering this. The picture quality and ease of use of the camera makes it an excellent purchase, I am very happy with this camera, the video function is better quality than my video camera!!!!
 Disappointing washed out colours March 13, 2010

Was really excited by such a well reviewed camera and wasn't disappointed with overall quality -- e.g. lens, built, ability to zoom in movie mode, sound quality -- but had to return it the end because:
1) Colours where extremely washed out no matter what settings being using -- intelligent photo mode was always spot-on in focus, flash, etc. but colours where always very disappointing especially when compared to our old Canon A70 (camera being replaced). The Panasonic was always out-performed by far in image quality, producing pale skin tones, low contrast and white balance had consistently a hard time getting the colour temperatures right even at manual setting.
2) Also lack of a proper handgrip was hard to get used to -- some texture in the camera body for the fingers instead of the polished material would have been very useful for a more confident handgrip and to help balance the weight & size of a compact camera in the hand, especially for those situations where only one hand is free such as when holding a baby or carrying some bags.
 An excellent all round camera March 10, 2010

I have been looking to buy this camera for sometime, but some of the comments re. battery life and 'loose dial' had made me be a bit hesitant!!..but in the end 'bit the bullet'and purchased one a few days ago. Have tested it thoroughly, the dial has not budged!, and have hammered the video, and have taking nearly 100 pics, used the zoom and flash often, and have replayed the pic replay with music many many times! The battery after all my 'hammering' was still at 30% plus as of today...not too bad at all.
The quality of build is superior, and the pics so far are brilliant.
This is a camera....to buy.
Great Video... Average photo's... March 10, 2010

Just purchased TZ7 (9-3-2010) and...
Pros... Excellent video although not quite as good as a proper camcorder.
25mm Wide lens.
Excellent 12x zoom, quiet during video.
Stereo sound.
Quick reliable auto focus.
Fast shutter release.
Intelligent auto picture options, great for difficult light.
Image stabiliser.
Looks and feels well made.
Cons...
Only average photo quality, although not bad.
Can overexpose in some situations. Use iA.
Hi in-camera image possessing leaves little latitude for post adjustment.
10 mega pix means nothing if crammed on to a small CCD.
Video button is in an awkward place, its easy to press accidentally.
Originally very expensive, but can be found for around £200.
I would recommend this camera but you need to experiment to get the best out of it. As mentioned, iA is very useful in difficult light.
