Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7 TZ10 Front

The super zoom compacts roll on: now with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7 (also known as the TZ10) Panasonic offers a 12x Leica optical zoom that puts into your hands focal range that matches a 35 SLR camera’s 25-300mm lens. Some lens!

Panasonic describes this camera as a Travel Zoom model: compact, pocketable, easy to use but offering a healthy range of exposure options that could handle most photographic challenges, viewed on a 7.6cm LCD screen. To my mind this camera would ..read more

Panasonic FH22 Compact Digital Camera Review

Image-acquire has a brief review about the Panasonic FH22 compact digital camera. The 14MP digicam features an 8x optical zoom, a 4x digital zoom, a 3-inch LCD touchscreen display, a variety of scene and white balance modes, a nine-point AutoFocus, and a built-in flash. Here is a verdict:

Great resolution, onboard memory, plenty of features and a terrific zoom come together to make an excellent quality camera. Though again, it suffers from a slim design ..read more

Samsung NX10 Review

The catchily named ‘mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras’ are quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with, a fact that Samsung have recognised with the launch of their own rival system to the Micro Four Thirds standard. The Samsung NX10 is the first model in the new series, featuring a DSLR-like design, large 3 inch AMOLED screen, electronic viewfinder, 720p video and a large APS-C CMOS sensor with 14.6 megapixels. With 30mm pancake, 18-55mm and 50-200mm lenses and a ..read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS2 Rugged Camera: The Clumsy Photographer’s Friend Could Be the Best in Class

Rugged cameras aren’t just for mountain climbers; Panasonic’s excellent-looking TS2 point-and-shoot would be a good choice for sedentary folks like myself who simply drop shit all the time. It also features HD video recording and, no lie, a ‘happy mode.’

Panasonic’s introducing three new cameras today, the most interesting of which is the TS2, so let’s start there. The TS2 is a 14.1MP update to the TS1, ..read more

Panasonic Lumix ZS7 "Super Zoom" Camera Goes 12x Deep While Geotagging

Panasonic Lumix ZS7 “Super Zoom” Camera Goes 12x Deep While Geotagging

It’s not as zoomy as the 15x Samsung HZ35w but I’d take a 12x Lumix with Leica optics over a Sammy. Especially since this one Geotags.

The 12.1 MP camera starts out at 25mm and zooms up to 12x past that, even in video mode. It also records HD (although res isn’t mentioned) in the AVCHD lite format.

Pentax’s Trio O’ Cameras Features Something For Everyone: Specs, Style, and Cheapness

They made a brief online appearance over the weekend but were promptly yanked off, but now Pentax has made them official—meet the Optio I-10, H90 and E90 cameras.

Pentax is one of those camera brands that you never really consider unless you’re over a certain age and can remember their glory days, but actually, I’ve always been pretty pleased with their compacts. They’re no Panasonic Lumix, but when all three ..read more
