Fairly intuitive controls for anyone familiar with digital cameras (Video feature: 'Motion Picture' is straightforward to use once you know how which is why it's advisable to download Camera's Manual - easily found as PDF on Google search). Picture quality and other camera functions are excellent. Recommended.

The Lumix TZ7 is travel cameras with a long zoom range and a tiny 1/2.33" CCD sensor. That all spells "compromise". As with all Lumix samall sensor cameras, the image quality takes a hit once the sensor is set at more than 400 - with a lot of green and purple "noise", and detail is lost if you enlarge prints to more than 7x5". With a CCD sensor, video is restricted and bright lights can cause vertical "flare" lines. The zoom is good for the shorter 2/3 of its range - but falls off in sharpness and contrast at the "telephoto" end. All this makes the TZ7 a compromise - it is too big for a shirt pocket compared with the tiny sized Lumix FS and FX models, and the extra benefits of the longer zoom range come with some loss of quality compared with any camera with larger sensors of the same era. But for use as one camera for taking travel - it still beats all but the highest price range of phone cameras today (2022). Just be prepared to raise contrast and sharpness in post-processing and print to postcard size and it works out OK. But for 90% of images, the less favoured and smaller zoom-range Lumix models have their advantages too...Read full review

I am very familiar with this model. I bought two new, of which one was stolen and the other got a scratched lens. First one I bought second hand worked for a while then the focus mechanism died and does not allow you to use it. This one developed a display fault within days of getting it. Second hand so I don't know what life it's already had. However, this definitely took the shine off my purchase.

Excellent camera - This is my third camera of this type, which I have used for work most days over the last 12 years taking up to 100 photos plus on each occasion. It is reliable and robust, producing good quality pictures and videos when required.
