Panasonic DMC-FZ7

Almost a year to the day since the introduction of the hugely popular FZ5 (and 4MP sibling the FZ4) - itself an upgrade to the FZ3 - Panasonic has announced its successor, the 6 megapixel DMC-FZ7. As well as a design facelift and an extra megapixel, the FZ7 introduces several handling and performance improvements over the FZ5, not least of which is the inclusion of manual focusing and significantly easier control over exposure settings via a new joystick (as seen on the DMC-LX1).

Major changes / improvements over FZ5
-6 megapixel sensor
-Larger (2.5-inch) screen (lower resolution, however)
-New joystick control for manual focus and exposure operations
-Brighter LCD and EVF performance in low light
-ISO 800 and 1600 options
-VGA movies
-16:9 movie mode
-Body redesign
