The hundred gadget giveaway: round 1 {Engadget}
Sep 4th 2007 4:00AM For years Engadget has been pestering me with giveaways where I can't or where it didn't make sense to participate.
So yeah, I'd like to win something for a change, even if it's a TZ1 which I already have, a gaming mouse which I dont need because I use a trackball, or a bag that I can only use to put the garbage in and out.

Panasonic's Lumix DMC-FZ7 reviewed {Engadget}
Apr 20th 2006 7:25PM I just got a TZ1 two days ago, after a lot of doubt because of the noise issues in the review of the closely related FX01 on dpreview. But in the end my shortlist came down to the TZ1 and the FX01. The latter has a 28mm wide angle, a slightly higher resolution (6M instead of 5M) and is much smaller, but I feared I'd miss the superzoom so I went for the TZ1.
In reality the noise is not that big an issue because of the great IS system: handheld shots at 1/8sec are very doable, at least if your subject doesn't move. Of course you cannot compare a compact (smaller lens, smaller sensor) with DSLRs that are five times as expensive, bulky and heavy.
As to the ISO 1600 mode: it's there, so you can at least make a bad picture instead of none at all.
Macro shots from 3", 10x tele, all handheld in low light. Decent 848x480 30fps widescreen movies (and yes, you can operate the zoom while filming!), fast and easy operation, great LCD, lots of features, great lens with minimal distortion over the entire zoom range. It's a stunning package.
It's our 2nd birthday and we're giving you the presents! {Engadget}
