Since I have found some more sample videos I present to you part 2 of my Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ7 sample video coverage. This is mainly because the TZ7 was released in Japan early March 2009 so Japanese reviews are slowly coming out for this camera whichs means new sample videos are made available to the public. I'm really interested in this new Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ7 hybrid camera myself and when it hits the stores in March/April 2009 (Europe/America) I'm pretty sure I'm going to buy one (going to wait for some English reviews first though but from what I have read and seen so far all indicates this new TZ camera is going to be another winner for Panasonic). Because the TZ7 can and will be used as a videocamera as well (it will replace my old Sony DCR-HC40 Mini DV camcorder) I'm searching the internet for sample videos to see what the quality is like. In this second video you will see what I have found so far and again they look (and sound) pretty impressive! Remember that the videos in this clip are not made by me, I just edited them into one video. Also, they have not been altered in any way (except encoding them to WMV format for uploading to YouTube). What you see is the raw footage from a (probably) Japanese retail unit since these samples were part of a Japanese review and since the TZ7 is already released in Japan it's fair to assume they made use of a retail unit for their review. Ps. I know the TZ7 is called ZS3 in the US but since TZ7 is the real organic name <b>...</b>

A sequence of video sequences shot in parallel with the TZ7,FZ38 and GH1 to give comparisons of image size and quality at either end of the zoom range. Shot under a variety of outdoor and indoor lighting conditions these sequences should give enough information to enable an informed opinion to be made about the various parameters of each of the cameras. In addition to the Panasonic Lumix camera sequences a parallel sequence shot with the nikon D5000 with standard kit lens are included. It is possible to make benchmark conclusions about the Nikon quality from this video. The opening sequence is shot with a Nikon D90 with f1.8 50mm lens set at f2.8 to give some opinion as to the D90 video quality with a prime lens. Hand held stabilisation shots are included at full zoom on each camera. Sequences were shot outdoors and indoors under tungsten and fluorescent lighting to compare AWB operation.

I'm really digging the new Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ7 hybrid camera and when it comes out in March/April 2009 I'm pretty sure I'm going to buy one (going to wait for some reviews first though).

Also, they have not been altered in any way, what you see is the raw footage from a (probably) pre-production unit, so keep that in mind as well as the quality may differ from a retail unit when it comes available.
