DMC-SZ7 specifications

The Panasonic DMC-SZ7K, also known as the DMC-SZ7, is a compact digital camera that blends convenience with powerful features, making it an ideal choice for photography enthusiasts and casual shooters alike. Designed for portability, the SZ7 boasts a sleek and compact design that fits comfortably in your pocket, enabling you to carry it effortlessly wherever you go.

One of the standout features of the DMC-SZ7 is its high-resolution sensor. Equipped with a 14.1-megapixel CCD sensor, the camera captures stunning and detailed images, even in challenging lighting conditions.

The DMC-SZ7 features a 10x optical zoom lens, which provides a versatile focal range from wide-angle to telephoto.

This makes it easy to get close to the action without having to compromise on clarity.

Another noteworthy aspect of the DMC-SZ7 is its advanced image stabilization technology.

The DMC-SZ7 also supports HD video recording, with the ability to capture 720p videos at 30 frames per second. This capability opens up new creative possibilities, allowing users to document their experiences in dynamic motion.
