Umm this is a Panasonic Lumix FZ7K as you can see it's tone black that's why it's called the FZ7K. I'm hitman101 and umm basically I want to tell you about this camera. So this camera is essentially a 6 megapixel camera and pretty much umm it takes very good picture and takes a rather a large pictures. It has rigid sensors so it is going to take light and light-and-dark pretty good. This camera has manual mode and has it a um a variety mode. Now this camera is great it is all in one camera. Um only one camera are basically are step down from digital SLR. They have all the technology of a normal point-and-shoot camera features umm such as you know speech recognition and all kind of things like. Only they come in a bigger format. Umm and they look a little like video SLRs because they had a lot features. They have umm usually only one camera has umm large zooms and large lenses and they have built-in flashes which are very good. Umm this particular camera from Panasonic has a 12x zoom. Umm and has image stabilization. As you can see umm the camera is not shaking around the light when I moved it up and down. But if I didn't have this images stabilization you wouldn't umm you know noticed my hand shaking very much so. But with image stabilization my hand is umm it has the impression that um you know you get the impression of my hand umm is actually steady but my hand is actually shaking a little bit while holding this camera. Now it doesn't mean this camera is heavy. This camera is actually rather light and the good points about this camera over the other umm all-in-one cameras is that the Panasonic FZ7 essentially has a battery pack. They come with the camera. So won't have to go out and you want to buy all of these you know double AA batteries and stuff like and recharge them. The Panasonic FZ7 all-in-one camera comes with the battery pack and a Carlota charger for the battery pack as well and it takes only you know 1 hour to 45 minutes to charge one battery. Now I bought a secondary battery that lasts even longer than the same battery that comes with the Panasonic Lumix -- Lumix camera Panasonic FZ7 camera. And I've assured that battery life is very good. I think you get 200-300 pictures depending on umm you know if you are using flash or not umm per battery Umm all we know this camera is good but the only thing that it doesn't have that I would like it to have um - the specifically the feature that they can umm S3 IS has is that you can you know move the sort of a view finder Um not the view finder but you know the screen where you can see everything. Let me show you -- the view finders on the top. You can still look to the finder where you can look at the point-and-shoot display You know you know where you are looking like in things like that. So umm other than that it is better than the S3 IS because it takes better produced on S3 IS And umm the picture quality is better. Um now umm well the one thing one thing and another thing that is bad about this camera Is that when you are taking video you can't zoom in or zoom out and the camera doesn't autofocus itself when it's recording video and that's the bad thing. Rather than it takes really good quality of video. It supports 640 x 480 and 320 x 240. So this camera is a very good camera. I've been using it for over a year now and I'm done here. See ya. I give 5 out of 5. I have been using for awhile. but um or you can look at the point-and-shoot display but with the S3 IS you can move it this way and actually have it on the side of the camera for you can use that
