FZ7 Launch???

[metallilan]

of cos it looks noisy... it is taken at iso800, if im not wrong fz7 noise will be worse (If they din do so much processing till it became watercolored). but overrall i think fz7 still got a slight edge over h2 for its OIS.

H2 also got OIS lar...

There is something i read & a bit disappointed. The zoom cannot be utilised in taking movies. It will be excellent if it can.

 

[airconvent]

the zoom for the fz5 can be utilised. just that not when recording....
you need to set the zoom before you press record...

 

[wrx_sti_22b]

That is what i meant by saying cannot utilise zoom in movie recording. Canon Powershot S1, S2 & S3 can.

 

[ExplorerZ]

doesn't matter can zoom in movie anot, since i rarely use that mode unless its for fun

Was actually looking at this camera but after reading the review and notice that it has a fixed marco function....... was disappointed. Does anyone know if we can still take marco and still adjust aperture and shutter with this camera? Does not seem to be able to do it according the dpreview...

for macro i think the best way to shoot is to add an external attatchment lens..the macro function built in to the camera only reduces focusing distance i think[correct me please if im wrong...]

The camera is out. Panasonic have a roadshow in Suntec City outside Carrefour & you can see it there.
