TZ7 comparison

[phantasmal]

Thanks phantasmal for your pictures( Had been waiting for someone to post pictures from this little gem.)
Now it's time for me to made my decision-LX3 or TZ7.

It depends if u need the video feature or the optical zoom.
With the 2 cams, i guess Pansonic has got 2 extremely well balanced cam lineups.

Pics wise, Lx3 wins by quite some amount.
Well, already taken 29 videos thus far and i can say i am really impressed.
I might post more tmrw.

Am considering between TZ15 and TZ7. Most important aspect I'm looking at is clear photos even under low lighting, excellent zoom function and good flash shots. Quite stuck... since the TZ7 just came out.

Tz15 will has less noise esp the lower isos i believe, faster zoom, btr flash shots.

I do think that Tz7 is a btr cam, jus for info.
The latest article, comparison betw Canon SX200, Fuji F200 and Tz7.

But based on your 3 criterias, Tz15 might be btr as there is supposedly a slight red cast in flash shots for Tz7, Tz15 has Ez Zoom and generally lower noise i think.

Sad to say but no Blue too. Only Silver, Black and Brown.
The brown is more maroon to me, jus a darker version.
It should be within the 570-580 range and comes w 8gb card and case.
Oh Parisilk quoted me within that range too so if its near u, its a viable place too.

wah lao colour very the boring.

I think the silver is improved over the old ones, seem a little more classy.
Go down and take a look b4 deciding.
