Ultra-Wide Angle, High Zoom in a Compact Digital Camera
All cameras promise great shots but only a few can take really close-up shots. One of them is the new Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7 which boasts of 12x optical zoom and 25mm ultra-wide angle lens. It features the Venus Engine HD II with Intelligent Resolution Technology which promises high-quality photos and videos that look like they are taken using a high-end professional camera. The Intelligent Auto (iA) Mode with Power Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS) is also built-in to the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7. Moving objects are captured clearly and rendered with crisp detail in still images through the iA Mode. Recorded videos of fast moving subjects are also delivered in a smooth and clear manner, without the usual blur associated with quick movements.
This camera model especially works best for travelers as the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7 has a built-in GPS device. When turned on, the GPS kicks in and is able to record information about the location and time. This is like keeping a journal of all the photos taken, less the manual work. This feature can be used in 173 countries so there’s no need to worry about having some photos not well-recorded. And since this model has ultra-wide angle lens, taking panoramic shots of famous places and sceneries is not a problem.
The common dilemma of travelers is being able to take pictures of themselves at each of the tourist spots they visit. But this can be avoided by bringing along a tripod. A tabletop one will be very handy, but the traditional tripod also works great. Other accessories that would be great with the DMC-ZS7 will be an extra battery and SD card for taking tons and tons of pictures without any interruptions. Most of all, all of these, including the camera itself, are available at such a reasonable price.
