Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ7/ZS3 HD sample videos [1/3]

I'm really digging the new Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ7 hybrid camera and when it comes out in March/April 2009 I'm pretty sure I'm going to buy one (going to wait for some reviews first though).

Because I want to use it as a videocamera as well (it will replace my old Sony DCR-HC40 Mini DV camcorder) I'm searching the internet for sample videos to see what the quality is like. In this video you will see what I have found so far and they look (and sound) pretty impressive!

Remember that the videos in this clip are not made by me, I just edited them into one video. Also, they have not been altered in any way, what you see is the raw footage from a (probably) pre-production unit, so keep that in mind as well as the quality may differ from a retail unit when it comes available.

because many parts of panasonic cameras are of poor quality and break easily.

one wonders if the damned bloody staff of the department stores in one notorious asian country selling these panasonic cameras are very dishonest and may be selling these fake products without their stores ' managemnt knowledge.

beware of these frauds especially in singapore courts department stores.

with fifty years camera handling experience, this is one hell of an unreliable brand to buy in singapore courts.

@gootham1 Panasonic and poor quality? You sure you're not confusing Panasonic with some cheap Chinese "brand"? I own (and have owned) several Panasonic products, ranging from camera's to DVD recorders and none of them had bad quality parts. Btw, how can you have a 50 years camera handling experience when you're only 25?? Also, you seem to spam a lot more Panasonic product video's with this bullcrap so you really should find another hobby. I'm happy with my Panasonic products.

how does this camera do at close up? such as macro?

[Cade78]

@snoopyalien24 It does this very well, watch part 3 and look at the close-up of one of our birds.

wow I think I'm going to get one! Earlier I thought I'd buy Sony Bloggie CM5 but I later came across this one and it looks perfect for me :) Do you get it already?

[Cade78]

@dogruns Yep, I bought it August 2009... watch part 3 of this sample video coverage of the TZ7 for some sample videos I shot myself. I also took it with me on vacation to Indonesia September last year, mainly to shoot video with it. We're still editing the video but when it's ready it will also be uploaded in parts to YouTube so all can see what gorgeous video this little camera shoots.

@jhbdfbksdhgfjldsnglg It is a bird

@dogruns If you take a lot of pictures, LX3 is the obvious choice but if you are looking at an all-around camera/camcorder, then get the TZ7 or TZ10.

@gootham1 I don't know what you are talking about dude. It is a fact that Leica lens used in Panasonic cameras are one of the best and most expensive lenses for photography.

[efadaei]

@tsunchoo I don't see it as a problem since the HDD on computers are now 1TB or even 2TB. Bigger hard drives are getting cheaper so space isn't an issue. Uploading to youtube might be a pain in the ass but putting videos on a DL-DVD (8.5GB) shouldn't be a problem. Just get a PS3 and DL-DVD discs and you are good to go.

@dingoflips shoot it in low light mode. There is a setting for this, instead of shooting with intelligent auto. I shot videos in firework mode and it was really different than intelligent auto. Although intelligent Auto has low light for one of its settings, switching to a low light mode manually might be better. This camera won't film great indoors at its optimal setting but it is reasonable.

I can say this video autofocus just goes happy for me coz im getting fall in love with this once super point and shoot digital little camera but have a ton of feature can let my mind relaxing while in take or in record hd auto focus video.
