Panasonic Lumix Digital Camera [Posted on 2008-08-09] This is going to be short and sweet and to the point. I love this camera and it works great, has awesome features and the screen is crystal clear. I recommend this camera to any wanting one...
I'm hooked! [Posted on 2008-08-20] I've had my DMC-LZ7 for about 8 months now and have taken about 700 photos so far. I can say the picture quality is excellent, as about as crisp as its going to get for a point and shoot camera. I've taken several portrait photos and the detail is amazing. I could see a single strand of hair laying against the face of my subject! Macro works like a charm, I took a photo of a caterpillar and could see all the tiny hairs on his body perfectly. I had a Canon A550 that couldn't capture half the detail and color that this Panasonic does. Needless to say I'm a Panasonic convert. I like the layout of the buttons and the screen is bright and clear when reviewing photos. Some people may complain about the absence of a viewfinder, but for me its not a big deal. I prefer to look to the screen to see just where everything lines up at. My only complaint is the size, I prefer a slimmer body but like somebody else said, the slimmer the camera is the more quality you sacrifice, generally. I'm not sure how true that will be one year from now though! I highly recommend this camera even if the price was more than what it is currently.
Happy [Posted on 2008-08-31] The camera is exactly what I ordered and it came in record time. I didn't pay for expedited shipping and still got it in less than the 5-7 days they stated.
Beware: Batteries [Posted on 2008-09-14] Instead of using those long lasting camera batteries, this camera runs on AAA batteries, wich are very short lived.
Defective [Posted on 2008-09-28] The camera malfunctioned after 45 days. After using this camera regularly for that long, the pictures began showing a black haze at the top and bottom. I adjusted the exposure, color, and ISO, but the black haze remains. The product I received from this vendor is defective.
