TZ5ユーザーとしてのコメントです。
AVCHD動画に惹かれて買いました。
[静止画]
ハッとする様な美しい写真が撮れる訳ではないですが、相変わらず安定した写真が撮れます。
美肌補正、暗部補正がかなりキッチリ効いたTZ5と比べてナチュラルな方向に味付けしてあります。
個人的にはTZ5が好みでしたが、一眼も使ってるような人はTZ7の方が合うかもしれません(自分も使ってますが)。
どちらのほうが綺麗に撮れる、というほどの違いはありません。
I bought it because I was attracted to AVCHD video.
[Still image]
It can take stable photos as ever, if not it can take beautiful photos that startles you.
It can make skin correction and dark correction naturally, compared to TZ5 that can do these things fairly tightly.
Personally I liked TZ5. But if you also use SLR, TZ7 might be better (I also use it).
There is no difference where we can say one can take clearer photos than the other.
I bought this attracted by the AVCHD moving image.
[Still Photos]
Although this one is not a camera to shoot surprisingly beautiful photos, but it shoots stable photos as usual.
It's seasoning is toward natural, compared with TZ5 which has fairly clear beautiful sikin correction and dark section correction.
I was personally fond of TZ5, but TZ7 may be more suitable for users using single-lens reflex also (I also use it).
There is no such difference as either one can shoot more beautifully.
高ISOノイズは若干減った感じでしょうか。
フォーカスのスピードはかなり速くなりました。
TZ5もキッチリ合わせてくれて安心でしたが、精度を維持したまま速くなった感じです。
逆にズームの動き出しは遅くなった感じです。
個人的には料理の写真が安定して無難に撮れるようになったのが、収穫でした。

TZ5もハーフハイビジョンサイズで撮影できましたが、ファイルサイズが増えるのでSDサイズで使ってました。
TZ7は720pでガンガン撮れます。
Focusing speed has become fairly quicker.
I felt easy with TZ5 also because it focused exactly, and there is a feeling of having become quicker while maintaining accuracy.
Conversely, there is a feeling that the begining of the zooming movement has become slower.
Personally, it was a gain that shooting of photos of cookings has become stable and innocuous.
[Moving Image]
TZ5 also could shoot with the half size hi-vision, but since the file size increases I used to use it with the SD size.
TZ7 can shoot firmly with 720p.
The focus speed is much faster.
TZ5 also had a good focus, but this one got faster without losing the accuracy.
Instead, zooming got slower somehow.
Personally I liked that I can take images of my cooking more stably.
[Movie]
I took movies in the half high vision size for TZ5, but since the file size got larger, so I used SD size.
I can do at 720p with TZ7.
TZ5と比べるとフォーカスが速く、さらに安定しています。
ズームはやっぱりスローですが、メカノイズが少し減ってますね。
音は大分良くなってます。
白とびがやや気になりますが、SDのDVカムと比べると画質もいいです。
CCDの画素数が十分にあるせいか、解像感はかなりあります。
同等品ではありませんが、キヤノンのHF10と比べると撮り終わった後に
キッチリ書き込み時間がありますが、十分ムービーカムとして使えます。
Zooming is slow afer all, but mechanical noises decreased a little.
Sound has become fairly better.
Blown out highlights are a little disturbing, but the image quality is better than that of SD-DVCAM.
Probably due to the enough number of pixel, there is a fair bit of resolution feeling.
It's not an equivalent item, but compared with HF10 of Canon this has clearly enough writing time after shooting and this can be usable enough as Moviecam.
The zoom is slower, but mechanical noises are less.
The sound is much better.
There is some over exposure, but the image quality is better compare to SD DV camera.
Since CCD has plenty of pixels, the resolution is very high.
Compare to Canon HF10 (not in the same category though), there is more writing time after capturing an image, but still it works just fine as a movie camera.
動画撮影ボタンがカシオのように独立して、すぐ撮れるようになったのは
非常に快適です。
ただしボタンの位置はいまいちなので、適当に扱うと動画の最初が
必ず手振れから始まります。ブラインド操作には不向きな場所です。
[液晶]
TZ5もかなり良かったので普通に見るには変わらない印象です。
TZ7はハイアングル・ローアングルでも完璧に見えるようになりました。
[ソフト]
パナソニックのHD対応ソフトは本当に素晴らしいと思います。
But since the button position is not really good, starting of the moving image definitely begins with camera shake if you don't treat carefully. It's not a suitable position for blind operation.
[LCD]
Since TZ5 was fairly good, the impression is there is no difference for usual watching.
TZ7 has become completely viewable from high angles and low angles.
[Software]
I think the software of Panasonic for HD is really wonderful.
But the place of the button is not the best for blind control because if I do not be careful, the movie gets hand vibration at the beginning.
[LCD]
TZ5 also had a very good image quality, so it seems not much of difference.
For TZ7, I can see perfectly both in high angle and low angle.
[Software]
I think the Panasonic's software for HD is really good.
機能ではなく処理のことです。
私のPCはNorthwood Pen4の2.8GHzのCPUに2GのDual Chメモリーと、
明らかに前の時代のものですが、付属のPHOTOfunSTUDIO HD Editionで
なんの問題もなくプレビューでき、カット編集および書き込み出来ます。
MPEG2へ変換してのDVD作成もちょっと時間はかかりますが問題なしです。
このソフトではAVCHDからの静止画書き出しが出来ないのが
少々残念ですが。
[バッテリー]
My PC is kind of old one, Northwood Pen4 2.8GHz CPU 2G Dual Ch memory.
But I can still preview and edit with the option software, PHOTOfunSTUDIO HD Edition, with no stress.
It takes some time to convert to MPEG2 and make DVD, but I do not see it a problem.
One thing I am disappointed is that this software can write images only from AVCHD.
[Battery]
My PC has a Pentium 4 "Northwood” with 2.8GHz CPU and a Dual-channel memory which is obviously the style of a decade ago. However, I was able to preview, cut and edit images and add texts using the attached PHOTOfunSTUDIO HD Edition software without a problem.
It takes time making DVD when the data was converted into MPEG-2 but it can also be done without a problem. It’s too bad that you can’t cut out a still image out from the AVCHD with this software.
[Battery]
持ちが悪くなったと感じます。
TZ5もCIPA300枚ですが、容量が減った分早くなくなるようです。
ムービーとして使う方はSDカードの予備より、バッテリーの予備のほうが
必要でしょう。
[ボディ]
ハッキリスリムになって、スマートになりました。
ホールド性もキッチリ落ちました。
まあしょうがないでしょう。
[個人認識]
期待してなかったのですが、一枚写真を覚えさせるだけで結構認識します。
It's 300 pcs of CIPA for TZ5 as well, but it seems quicker as the capacity decreased.
Users who use this for moving images will need a spare battery rather than a spare SD card.
[Body]
It has clearly become slim and smart.
Grip also has become worse clearly.
Well, there may be no way.
[Personal Recognition]
I didn't expect it, but it fairly recognizes by memorizing one photo only.
CIPA is 300 pic for TZ5 as well, but since it has less capacity, it loses battery faster.
Those who use the movie might need an extra battery instead of SD card.
[Body]
It is definitely more slim and smarter.
It also lost some grip of course though.
[Personal recognition]
I did not expect much, but it recognizes well by just recording one image.
横顔では認識しませんが、一度正面で認識するとずっと追っかけてくれます。
このあたりは追っかけフォーカスが追加された恩恵でしょうか。
大分長くなってしまいました。
基本的に大満足してることを、付け加えておきたいと思います。
