The Panasonic Lumix DMC FS7 and other models in this part of the Panasonic range offer some of the best value around. As well as the headline features I like the little additions such as increasing the zoom available at lower resolutions and image...

In a crowded market, the DMC-FS7 certainly stands out when it comes to looks and build quality, but in terms of features and performance, itââ'¬â"¢s pretty much par for the course. But it is very easy to use and many digital snappers will welcome this...

Design, build quality, performance, image quality

Lack of wideangle

The Panasonic FS7 offers superb build quality, stylish and ergonomic design, ease of use and quick performance, combined with excellent image quality. If you are looking for a sub-£200 ultra-compact, then it is worthy of serious consideration.
