Most people's holiday snaps only require 640x480.
Still, I want this camera. ]]>Mar 26th 2009 9:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/26/panasonics-dmc-tz7-reviewed-offers-great-quality-stills-and-vi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/26/panasonics-dmc-tz7-reviewed-offers-great-quality-stills-and-vi/Mar 26th 2009 9:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/26/panasonics-dmc-tz7-reviewed-offers-great-quality-stills-and-vi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/26/panasonics-dmc-tz7-reviewed-offers-great-quality-stills-and-vi/
A lot, a lot of people's snapshot are as good as 640x480 sadly. Yes, you can get a 12Mpixels image file, but that doesn't mean it has a real 12M resolutions (actual details). Consider facebook hosts the most online photos among all website and people are living with their 600x? photos.]]>Mar 28th 2009 1:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/26/panasonics-dmc-tz7-reviewed-offers-great-quality-stills-and-vi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/26/panasonics-dmc-tz7-reviewed-offers-great-quality-stills-and-vi/

This camera would have really helped me to prove that I truly experienced these situations. Please save me another beating and let me have this camera.]]>Mar 26th 2009 10:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/26/panasonics-dmc-tz7-reviewed-offers-great-quality-stills-and-vi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/26/panasonics-dmc-tz7-reviewed-offers-great-quality-stills-and-vi/Mar 26th 2009 10:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/26/panasonics-dmc-tz7-reviewed-offers-great-quality-stills-and-vi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/26/panasonics-dmc-tz7-reviewed-offers-great-quality-stills-and-vi/Mar 26th 2009 3:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/26/panasonics-dmc-tz7-reviewed-offers-great-quality-stills-and-vi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/26/panasonics-dmc-tz7-reviewed-offers-great-quality-stills-and-vi/

If you're using regular Alkalines, this would explain the battery life. In most cameras Rechargeable NiMH or disposable Li-Ion will yield much longer battery cycles. The former of course also has the advantage of being reusable.]]>Mar 26th 2009 4:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/26/panasonics-dmc-tz7-reviewed-offers-great-quality-stills-and-vi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/26/panasonics-dmc-tz7-reviewed-offers-great-quality-stills-and-vi/Mar 26th 2009 10:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/26/panasonics-dmc-tz7-reviewed-offers-great-quality-stills-and-vi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/26/panasonics-dmc-tz7-reviewed-offers-great-quality-stills-and-vi/
Those things are not important to most people, granted, but if they're important to you (They're important to me) you might keep looking.

Granted, I have a dSLR and a fast prime lens for taking pictures in low light, but I'd like something faster than 3.3 in my P&S. In fact I'd prefer a faster, shorter lens over this 25-300 business. (Which is quite impressive, I will admit)]]>Mar 26th 2009 9:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/26/panasonics-dmc-tz7-reviewed-offers-great-quality-stills-and-vi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/26/panasonics-dmc-tz7-reviewed-offers-great-quality-stills-and-vi/Mar 26th 2009 4:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/26/panasonics-dmc-tz7-reviewed-offers-great-quality-stills-and-vi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/26/panasonics-dmc-tz7-reviewed-offers-great-quality-stills-and-vi/Mar 26th 2009 11:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/26/panasonics-dmc-tz7-reviewed-offers-great-quality-stills-and-vi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/26/panasonics-dmc-tz7-reviewed-offers-great-quality-stills-and-vi/Mar 26th 2009 9:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/26/panasonics-dmc-tz7-reviewed-offers-great-quality-stills-and-vi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/26/panasonics-dmc-tz7-reviewed-offers-great-quality-stills-and-vi/
The recording at 720p, which I didn't really buy it for, is much better than I expected tbh, my only slight gripe being that it struggles a little to maintain focus when zooming during recording.]]>Mar 26th 2009 10:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/26/panasonics-dmc-tz7-reviewed-offers-great-quality-stills-and-vi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/26/panasonics-dmc-tz7-reviewed-offers-great-quality-stills-and-vi/Mar 26th 2009 12:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/26/panasonics-dmc-tz7-reviewed-offers-great-quality-stills-and-vi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/26/panasonics-dmc-tz7-reviewed-offers-great-quality-stills-and-vi/]]>Mar 26th 2009 11:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/26/panasonics-dmc-tz7-reviewed-offers-great-quality-stills-and-vi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/26/panasonics-dmc-tz7-reviewed-offers-great-quality-stills-and-vi/Mar 26th 2009 12:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/26/panasonics-dmc-tz7-reviewed-offers-great-quality-stills-and-vi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/26/panasonics-dmc-tz7-reviewed-offers-great-quality-stills-and-vi/Mar 26th 2009 1:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/26/panasonics-dmc-tz7-reviewed-offers-great-quality-stills-and-vi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/26/panasonics-dmc-tz7-reviewed-offers-great-quality-stills-and-vi/

Would be great if someone could post some low-light sample video shots to compare. These small P&S cameras have great headline specs, but can struggle in low light.
