 Panasonic Lumix FZ7 - Image Stabiliser
According to Yin Wong: "We find the overall image quality of the Panasonic FZ7 to be very good to excellent with lots of detail. Noise is very low at ISO 80 though chrominance noise may be slightly visible in the shadows when viewing the images at full size on screen. The Panasonic FZ7 has a 12x optical zoom lens for very clear and detailed images. It's one of the longest reach in consumer digital cameras, plus it comes with a very effective image stabilization, which helps to reduce camera shake when hand holding at long focal lengths."
Panasonic DMC-FZ7 - Auto focus and Noise reduction
Yin Wong continues: "AF is fast (especially when using the 1-area High Speed AF) and works very well even in low-light. In extreme low-light, the AF Assist Lamp kicks in automatically (if you've set it ON in the menu) to help achieve focus. Auto focus is very accurate and locks without hunting even at the extreme long end of the zoom. The Panasonic FZ7 has special noise reduction (NR) algorithms that automatically kicks in at shutter speeds of 1 sec. and slower and you'll notice aprox. twice the processing time before the next picture can be taken."

About Photoxels
Photoxels was founded in 2002 by MyKhanh Wong (Owner, Editor) and Yin Wong (Contributing Editor), the editors behind Photoxels. In 2001, we went on the Web to learn about digital cameras like everyone else. But it seems that the more we read about digital cameras, the more reviews we scrutinized, and the more we searched... the more confused we became. If we were somewhat confused about which digital cameras to buy before visiting the digital camera review sites, we became even more confused after reading most of the (very) technical reviews. Slowly, one article and one review at a time, we pieced together what were really important to know about digital cameras and clarified many of the digital photography-related terminology. We decided to share what we learned on the Internet, and Photoxels was born.

Panasonic DMC-FZ7 review at Photoxels : DIWA member Yin Wong from Photoxels has reviewed the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7 digital camera. The Panasonic DMC FZ7 camera features a 6 Megapixel image sensor and incorporates a 12x optical zoom (equivalent to 36mm to 432mm on a 35mm film camera) Leica DC lens. Differing from the FZ30 with manual focus ring and manual zoom ring, which was already released and highly evaluated by prosumers, the Panasonic FZ7 is more compact and easy to carry while preserving the same powerful zoom capability and manual controllability. The Panasonic Lumix FZ7 gains the High Sensitivity mode for one of the new scene modes that allows shooting at max. ISO 1600 setting and offers optical image stabilization.
