Whats in the box? Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7 12.1 MP Digital Camera with 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 3.0-Inch LCD (Black) I can't find any information on whats in the box?

I received the ZS7 (red) this week from Amazon. The box says: Box contains: Digital Camera Unit Battery Pack Battery Case Battery Charger AV Cable USB Connection Cable CD-ROM Hand Strap Operating Instructions The "battery case" is just a bit of plastic and I almost threw it out--I'm not sure what the purpose is. I think it's just to add another line item on the box. ;o) Some people have mistakenly said that this includes an HDMI cable--it does not. You will need to purchase a mini HDMI to HDMI cable. I haven't purchased one yet for this camera, so I cannot attest to the video quality with an off-market brand, but I will certainly try one (I've had good luck with Mediabridge cables, limited lifetime warranty) before shelling out the extra cash for the Panasonic cable. I hope this helps. It's a basic kit, but it is nice that they included a hand strap. I bought an Xacti CG10 and it didn't include one. It's not a big deal, but it seems to be one of those items you can't find right away when you need it. When I get a new "toy" I want to play with it right away and I'm such a klutz, I have to have some type of hand strap for protection! Good luck!

Quite frankly, I don't remember, but I wouldn't let that interfere with buying this amazing camera. And there are a number of books available on the camera including "Photographer's guide to the Sony DSC RX100" by Alexander White that should give you plenty of info. Now my camera of choice when I go out the door. And the best part - it fits in my pocket - with a nice big sensor to take amazing photos. Enjoy!

Thanks very much for the info., Les. I actually returned my camera when even Panasonic tech support couldn't fix the problem, but I later learned it was not a defective camera. I'll be buying it again in the near future as I think it's a great camera, and I'll be saving your message in an attempt to figure it all out. Also, too bad there's no flash button on the camera and that you have to go to the menu to fiddle with it. That's weird! (and too bad it doesn't pop up automatically, like my Sony) THANKS AGAIN!

Love my ZS3. One thing I really like is the dedicated "video capture" button. I don't have to change to a video mode, I just hit the button any time to capture movies. Great camera!www.panasonic.net/lumix

From what I have found the DMC-ZS30 is the USA Version of the DMC-TZ40. I am considering this camera just haven't made my mind up yet. Thanks to those who posted about the language issues with the camera menus.

I am in the same boat as you. My camera needs are the same as yours and I have been researching these two cameras as well as the Panasonic DMC-FZ8. Right now I am leaning towards the Panasonic. The Panasonic requires a battery pack instead of AA batteries but Amazon offers the battery packs for $15 - $20. In addition the Panasonic is about $50 cheaper than the Sony and the Canon. My old Olympus has problems with severe shutter lag and poor quality pics on indoor & low light situations.

Look up "canon chdk". It's a firmware that you load from your sd card. I'm getting optical zoom in my SD800IS, along with many other features, like shooting in raw, and control over shutter speed. For those cameras with aperture control (mine just has a NS filter), you can even adjust that.Still, I really like the looks of the SX1 coming out. I'm going to start saving for Christmas now.

Agree Mark M Scheingold...I also would like to know exactly what Amazon is "reviewing", so I can feel comfortable with my purchase and not worry about some malfunction or failure popping up in the near future!!I Think that we need a more detailled explanation from Amazon...Please Amazon, Could you tell us Why the DMC-SZ9 is Under Review and if the Panasonic DMC-SZ9 has Some kind of technical or malfunction problems?

I bought my DMC-ZS8 in 2011 and had to send it back for cleaning and now it again has big dust spots rendering it unusable. They should recall this camera and replace it. I need to buy a camera for my upcoming vacation (there isn't the time to send it back to Panasonic for cleaning) but don't know what to get..

Ninan, I have the ZS3 and love it. I reviewed the H20 and it lacks a few things. Most notably, the lens only goes to 38mm on the wide end compared the the ZS3 which goes all the out to 25mm. That was enough for me to rule out the H20, so I don't know much more about it. I'd suggest going to the Panasonic global website at www.panasonic.net/avc/lumix and checking out their info on the ZS3. It is amazing. Then go to youtube and search for "tz7 night restaurant" and "20090514 ZS3 Sample Videos" to see some examples of the video and zoom. (note the ZS3 is known as the TZ7 in Europe).
