why there is no specific thread for TZ7??
Maybe...
1. Cos it is consider as a normal PnS compact.
2. Moreover there are not much owners for this model deem to have a thread of its own.
Anyway you guys can always make this thread as TZ7 home plus family of Lumix

tRiXie - For food shots I would pick LX3 due to its fast, better lens and manual adjustment.

I don't know much about camera or manual settings therefore I choose this TZ7. Just use intelligent auto in all my shots.
So I don't quite mind its lack of manual functions.

For lowlight (like those moody cafe) food shot , TZ7 sure will fire flash.. and it looks washed.
So unless its a well lited area, TZ7 don't do so well on food shot.

I always force the flash to off.
Flash is not bright / powerful enough to lit up everything.

hmm looking for a digicam around RM1K or less. does anyone know what's the price now for TZ15 in the market?

thx in advance.

is quite hard for you to find new unit of tz-15 in market cause this is last year obselete model

Tz7 owner here too

And my recent TZ7 food shot in low light.

These are restaurant lighting right... how bout the pub lighting or coffee house dimmer ones?
Believe the shots posted was without flash correct?

ANy info on your shot details.. IA mode or manual with certain ISO

Anyone know where I can get FZ35/38?

Those is with Normal Picture mode, auto iso (with iso400), shutter 1/15 - 1/25, force flash off.

The restaurant is dimmed orange lighting.

I havent try tz7 lower than that lighting. I normally use my lx3 instead.

But food shot kind of static picture i guess a steady hand is ok at least to me... (i'm a noob cameraman )

currently still not available in the market,ETA around mid Sept

u got both lx3 and tz7? which 1 better? lol

jays_on - For more info on his shots, you can click on the photos which will take you to flickr.com. There, bottom right column, your will find "Additional Information" >> Taken with a Panasonic DMC-TZ7.>> More properties <-click here.

n3wb13 - No offense but these are fun shots right. Not for commercial use, right?

tRiXie - my guess is LX3, in the hands of food shot expert, will bring out the mouth watering effect.

Very nice shots.
I just use IA mode. And I think usually so near the object it will switch to macro mode.
I'm so noob.

may i know wat is the feedback of fs 15??
is it enough for normal use.? cos im planning to buy a camera.. but i dont know anything abt it...
is it good when taking in night time?

Yes i got the LX3 1st. But tempted for the long reach, so get the tz7 to accomodate that. My recent trip to redang i use more of my tz7 for the normal shots around the beach. But LX3 for the night shots and some shots that requires manual settings. I guess both have their strength. For the best of both, can consider FZ35/38, but might loose the pocketable.

Yes its just some shots for personal album and blog. Sorry if you all are talking commercial shots previously...
But i guess commercial use a dslr might be more suitable, no?

Thx. As said... its just some fun shot. I think if i hold the camera to the food longer... might affraid get kick out by the shop owner
ED: if u see i & Flower icon when using iA mode, then it is recognize as macro mode (i MACRO).
