Searching for a high quality, easy to transport digital camera that takes true to life photos, but doesn't cost a fortune? You've found it in the Panasonic DMC-FZ7K Digital Camera. The DMC-FZ7K features a Leica DC Vario-Elmarit Lens with a remarkable 12x optical zoom, equivalent to a 35 to 430mm lens on a 35mm film camera. A film camera with an optical zoom this powerful would be so big and heavy, you couldn't handle it with one hand. The DMC-FZ7K, on the other hand, is small, lightweight and easy to handle. It weighs under one pound! Plus, this camera incorporates a host of other great features to help you achieve outstanding digital images. The MEGA Optical Image Stabilizer helps eliminate blurry pictures automatically, while the extra large 2.5" LCD display screen makes viewing and sharing your pictures a snap. Also, the joystick on the back of the camera gives you quick, easy and accurate manual focusing. You can even control the exposure and focus with the convenient joystick. The DMC-FZ7K combines impressive features and a stylish, compact camera body, at an affordable price. It's an ideal camera for digital pros and novices alike.
