Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7 Review at DCResource
DCResource have reviewed the new Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7 which combines a 12x optical zoom lens with MEGA O.I.S. in a compact body.
“Overall, the image quality on the DMC-FZ7 is very good. Photos were well-exposed, with accurate color, low purple fringing levels, and pleasing sharpness. My one complaint is about noise: there’s a bit too much of it, even at ISO 80. At ISO 200, details started to look more like watercolor paintings, and the effect becomes quite pronounced at higher sensitivities. If you’re shooting at lower ISOs and keeping print sizes at 8.5 x 11 inches or below, the noise should not be an issue. If you’ll be using the high ISO settings, or making large prints, the noise on the FZ7 may be bothersome.”
