There's sadly no optical viewfinder, but this is understandable given the strength of the zoom. The Panasonic ZS7 opts instead for a roomy 3.0-inch LCD display with excellent 460,000 dot resolution on which images and videos are both framed and reviewed. The Panasonic ZS7's lens has a maximum aperture that varies from f/3.3 to f/4.9 across the zoom range. The minimum focusing distance for the Panasonic DMC-ZS7 is ordinarily 50 centimeters, but drops to just three centimeters when switched to Macro mode."</em></p><p><em><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/dht/auto/1269963438.usr10.jpg" style="border: 0;" /></em></p><p>There is an awful lot of technology crammed into this pocket sized camera. &nbsp;The reviewers seems pretty happy with it. &nbsp;If you are looking for a pocket sized camera without a lot of compromises, you'd do well to take a look at their extensive review.</p>
