Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS7 Digital Camera

with Leica lens 10 Mega Pixels

incl. 2GB SD Card

The camera comes with battery, charger, cables and Case.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS7 is a competent little camera that doesn't sacrifice functionality and image quality for good looks. This camera replaces the FS3 and offers incremental updates.

Design

The FS7 goes head-to-head with other stylish offerings from Canon, such as the IXUS 95 IS, and Nikon, such as the Coolpix S220, though it beats them both in the design stakes. The FS7 screams understated simplicity. Its appearance is enough to make it stand out from the pack. It comes with a four-way directional pad, menu buttons and playback switch situated next to the 2.7-inch LCD screen with 230,000 dots. At the top is the intelligent auto button, as well as the power switch, shutter button and zoom rocker.

Features

At the front sits a 33mm-132mm (or 4x optical zoom) Leica lens, with image stabilisation denoted with "Mega OIS". The FS7 features a 10.1-megapixel sensor, and the usual gamut of controls like face detection and red-eye correction. The lens is f/2.8 at its widest aperture, which is nice to see on a camera of this class.

Shooting options include: intelligent auto, program mode, night scenery, scene mode and video. In program mode, ISO, exposure compensation and macro are available, whereas intelligent auto takes care of everything for you.

Performance and image quality

The FS7 starts up in a smidgen under two seconds which makes it great for a camera of its class. Shot-to-shot time is relatively quick as well, and in burst mode, the camera takes around 0.9 second per frame.
