Camera Overview — Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ7

The Panasonic LUMIX DMC-TZ7 is a metal-bodied point-and-shoot compact camera built around a 10MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor powered by the Venus Engine HD image processor. It offers an ISO range of 80 to 1600, giving shooters a reasonable spread of sensitivity options for varying lighting conditions. The camera features optical image stabilization (OIS) to help reduce camera shake, and an autofocus system that combines Contrast Detection with Face Detection AF across 11 focus points, plus subject tracking support for moving subjects.

On the back sits a 3.0-inch fixed LCD with a 460,000-dot resolution — a generous display for its era that makes composing shots and reviewing images straightforward. Video recording tops out at 720p at up to 30fps in 8-bit color, with a Standard color profile available. Still shooting includes a burst mode at 2.3fps and five color profile options: Standard, Vivid, Natural, Black & White, and Sepia.

The body weighs 229g and measures 103.3 x 59.6 x 32.8 mm, making it genuinely pocketable. Storage is handled via SD and SDHC cards, and the camera connects to other devices via USB and Mini HDMI output. A built-in flash with multiple modes is included.

Battery life is rated at approximately 300 shots per charge using the DMW-BCG10E battery.
