Did you go up the funicular to get this view?

[LumixTZ7]

No, I went by car. But I shot it at the Etxebarria Park, not at Mount Artxanda (the place where the funicular takes you).

I just bought the Lumix ZS3/TZ7 and i have a complain. My major interest was the HD video and the 12x zoom (i have nothing to say about the photograps, they're amazing quality) but the big zoom you can watch in videos here on YT is no such thing.

[LumixTZ7]

Again, you're joking, right?

[liaminabox]

@LumixTZ7 Thanks for clarifying

[aleynad26B]

@LumixTZ7 unfortunately i'm dead serious, i made different tests and i tell you.

Practically all cards currently on the market are "high quality", but the speed at which the card is able to record (write) the data determines the way it's going to playback.

[LumixTZ7]

If the card you get is high quality, there is no need to get a Class 6 card for the TZ7/ZS3.

[Xircal]

LumixT27, you need to use a Class 6 card because of the write speed. The figures you're quoting are for the Read speed.

A Class 4 card writes at 4MB/sec while a Class 6 writes at 6MB/sec. Where it concerns moving objects like cars, you need the highest possible write speed to eliminate frame drops.
