Panasonic FZ7 Camera

Post by cjv »

Okay, I am getting a new camera, and selling my old one.

It is a Panasonic FZ7 camera, 6 megapixel, 12x optical zoom, image stabilization, takes great photoes, very good manual controls. These are great point and shoot cameras for people who want to go a little beyond "point and shoot". It is in great condition, has one noticable sratch on the bottom (on the battery cover) but nothing else that I can see.

Here is a link with the details of the camera -

It has all the original supplies except that manual (which can be downloaded via PDF) and the 16MB SD card it came with. Well, let me say I am 99% sure I have all the original stuff - it is just a matter of finding it. :) It would not be in the original box.

On Ebay, this camera (used) by itself goes for about $160 to $210. I was going to include a 1GB memory card, a 3 filter kit (with an extra UV filter as well), an extra battery, and possibly a small carrying case as well. I bought these for about $70.

Before I posted it on Ebay, I was going to see if anyone here was interested. If you are, let me know. I am hoping to get about $200 (maybe even $225 or $230?) on so on Ebay.

Here is a link to the manual

http://service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/DMCFZ7.PDF

And here is a link to pictures I have taken with it

http://www.vitekweb.com/baby/daddy.htm

(pictures from 4/19 and 8/27).

The review I posted is pretty fair. Yes, if you are comparing it to a dSLR or something, it will come up lacking. But it isn't a dSLR, it is a point and shoot camera. And compared to other point and shoots, it have a plethora of features, and turns out great pictures. We have gotten prints as large as large as 11x14 and even one 16x20 with no problem!

The cheapest price on pricegrabber is $239, so perhaps $225 is hoping for a bit much, even with the extras.

BTW, it is a the silver model.

Thanks for looking. I think I am going to post it on Craig's list, then Ebay. :)
