Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The 10.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-FS7 features a bright F2.8 Leica DC Vario-Elmarit lens with 4x optical zoom and iA mode, comprised of four functions including Mega O.I.S., Intelligent ISO Control, Intelligent Scene Selector and Face Detection. Like the DMC-FS15, the DMC-FS7 also include a newly-added independent iA button on top of the camera that lets the user enter directly into the mode without going into the menu.

Other features of the FS7 include a Venus Engine IV processor, which enables an advanced processing system and quick response times. An intelligent LCD screen detects light conditions and automatically adjusts the brightness levels for viewing in sunlight and helps to preserve battery life. The new Photo Frame mode lets the user put attractive borders around photos, so when printed, they look like postcards in picture frames. Also, the new My Scene setting lets the user assign their most frequently used Scene modes to the setting, and with a simple switch, access that scene instantly. The FS-Series is also capable of recording WVGA (848 x 480) motion pictures at 30 frames per second in 16:9 wide-screen format, as well as standard VGA (640 x 480) format.

I bought this camera as a birthday present for my girl friend Paula. After asking what features she wanted most in a digital camera, I combed the internet for ratings and reviews within my price range. After a few days, I was able to narrow it down to two. This one and the Nikon 620. I chose the FS7 on these three points. 1: It had 10 MP sensor. 2: A 4X optical zoom Lieca lens. 3: Pink, my girl friends favorite color. Upon receiving the unit, I opened it up to test it out and make sure everything was in order. I then had the sudden urge to keep it for myself. This was a great little camera. The pictures are sharp, colors bright, and video as good as I've ever seen for something like this. Too bad I ordered pink, or it would have been mine, and she would have gotten a box of candy instead.

I've bought this camera for my mother because she needs an easy point and shoot camera. She uses it to take random picture. When I was helping her organize her pictures I noticed how sharp and clear the pictures are. The pictures have amazing colors too. I would recommend this camera to anyone who needs a point and shoot!

I've just had it for 2 days and I can't stop thinking how good of a decision it was to go with this camera after reading the specs and the reviews. I'm very satisfied with the picture quality (I have a Nikon D40 DSLR as well) especially the neutral colors and decent time to start and take the first pic. Another big plus is the movie mode and quality - really nice and handy. You can't go wrong.
