The good: The Panasonic Lumix DMC-SZ7 delivers fast shooting performance and very good photo and movie quality in a slim package with a wide, long lens.
The bad: The SZ7's battery life could be better, and its pictures probably won't thrill pixel peepers.
The bottom line: A speedy little camera with a long lens, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-SZ7 performs beyond its tiny price tag.

Pros: clear active scene pictures
compact
easy to use
extremely fast for rapid picture taking, w/o sacrificing qualityCons: doesn't have the impact resistance of my last camera, so i am careful to protect it more

Summary: my past camera was too slow to focus, even on sport mode, when trying to capture priceless moments of my children. this camera is quick and 9 times out of 10, crystal clear. had great luck with it both indoors and out, and use the video often as well. it's very easy to use, and compact. out performs any other point and shoot i've had by far.
not had issues with battery life, although it is only a few months old. lasts much longer than other cameras i've previously owned.
overall, great camera, especially for things constantly in motion.3 out of 3 users found this user opinion helpful.
Specifications
- Manufacturer: Panasonic
- Part number: CNET57354763
- Description: The DMC-SZ7 features a powerful 10x optical zoom lens. This gives you highly natural expressions from people and animals that you can't get close to. And its slim, compact body can easily go wherever you go - for both everyday snapshots and traveling. In addition, this single camera lets you record 10x optical zoom in video recording. The 25 mm ultra wide-angle lens has about twice the shooting area as a standard 35 mm lens. This enhances all kinds of shooting situations, like when you're photographing a group of people at an indoor party or shooting a large structure or sweeping landscape while traveling.
