I wanted a camera that I could have permanently on me. A sort of notepad, otherwise having a digital SLR (big, heavy but sturdy: Nikon D2x) The TZ7 performs well this mission. Take advantage of the price at the moment: it is replaced by the TZ10 and it will soon disappear. It is no longer visible to the Fn ... in Dart. Frankly we pay for: quality finish: impeccable, the famous wheel: finished she is no longer soft, Panasonic ... found the screwdriver, the screen: sublime. But if you look a detachable device, go your way. In addition, red fits like a glove. Amazon delivery side: as usual but good: ordered on a Saturday, delivered on Thursday with Premium SDHC memory card Verbatim 8GB Class 6. I will return.
