3.1

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH7 is a slim, stylish compact camera with a 16MP CCD sensor and a 4x optically-stabilized zoom lens, which covers a useful 28-112mm (equivalent) range. Similar in most respects to its predecessor the FH5, the FH7 features a new touch-sensitive LCD screen, which enables Touch AF - a feature which has trickled down from higher-end Lumix cameras which allows you to focus and release the shutter by simply touching the display. With the FH7, Panasonic is squarely targeting the consumer-level point-and-shoot market, and as such, apart from its stylish, minimalist design, the camera is packed with beginner-friendly and 'lifestyle' features. Beauty retouch, Aesthetic and Makeup filters are all designed to quickly polish portrait photographs, and a built-in Image Uploader is intended to make it easy to upload captured files to Facebook or YouTube when either the camera, or memory card, are connected to an Internet-enabled computer. Speaking of connectivity, the FH7 does not feature an HDMI connection, only USB 2.0 for connection to a computer or television (AV out).

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS22 (also known as the DMC-FH7) is a new touch-screen compact camera with a 4x zoom lens. Costing less than £169 / $179, the 16 megapixel FS22 / FH7 is aimed at the beginner end of the market, yet still offers some advanced features including 720p HD movies, Sonic Speed Auto-focus, and Panasonic's clever Intelligent Auto mode.
