Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ7

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ7 Digital Camera by Monty Alexander
In today's digital era, no one wants to settle for second best, whether it is in computers, mobile phones or even cameras. Digital cameras have revolutionized the way we take pictures. They provide better image quality, faster photography and a great technological advantage. These new age cameras are offered by some of the best brands in the market today. Panasonic is one of the trusted brands among digicams.
Among Panasonic's wide range of digital cameras, the one that has impressed one and all the most is the Lumix DMC-T27 digital camera, also known as the Panasonic DMC-ZS3. It is a 10.1 mega pixel camera with a 3 inch LCD screen and a 12x Leica branded zoom with optical image stabilization for sharper pictures. It has a simple interface for easy and swift operation, and yet gives an opportunity to those who wish to experiment with scene modes and making movies.
This Panasonic digital camera is sleek to look at and has a thickness of just 1.29 inches. So it can easily slip in to your pocket without appearing bulky or heavy. A curious thing about the Lumix DMC-T27 is that the 10.1 mega pixel sensor is actually a 12.7 mega pixel sensor but is cropped to get aspect ratios of 4:3, 3:2 and 16:9. This is done so as to prevent the corners of each aspect ratio from being exposed to the chromatic deviation and lens softness like they normally are.
The Panasonic DMC ZS3 offers an 11 point multi area autofocus that gives the user an option to choose from 6 different picture modes, including Face Recognition and Face Detection. With 28 scene modes, and using only Program, Intelligent and Auto instead of manual or semi automatic modes, this camera is certainly one to die for!
On the video mode, this Panasonic camera is able to capture high definition video at 1280x720 pixels and at 60 frames a second, on the AVCHD Life capture mode. The JPEG mode is available at 30 frames per second on high definition. The images can be stored on an SD/SDHC card that can be increased to more than the existing memory of 45MB. A USB 2.0 port ensures easy connectivity with your laptop or computer, while a video output and Mini-HDMI out port allows you ti view pictures on your TV or LCD. The lithium ion battery is long lasting and lasts for about 300 shots at a time.
Known for their simplicity and versatility, Panasonic digital cameras are a good choice for camera junkies. You can avail good deals on the Lumix DMC-T27 digital camera on some popular online stores. So go ahead, explore your photography talent with cameras from Panasonic

It allows you to select ISO, exposure compensation and white balance manually, without any difficulty. It also features a JPEG compression setting from normal to superfine, face detection, and a number of widescreen modes, including matte settings. The choice of ISO settings too is commendable, especially the crystalline ISO 80 mode.
Canon Poweshot A580 provides easy navigation, with camera settings and buttons easily accessible. The interface is extremely good and comes with programs that facilitate editing, printing, uploading and emailing pictures. The USB connection enables easier connectivity with your laptop or computer, so transferring images is child's play.

That is a lot to look forward to, considering the affordable price bracket of this camera.
The Canon Powershot A580 is the perfect camera for amateur photographers. It provides the right balance of performance and looks, backed by state of the art features. Though it is placed in a reasonable price bracket, shopping online for canon digital cameras is a good option if you want further discounts on the camera.
