lumix FZ7

WS11 by mrcrow_uk, on Flickr

gave it an airing today prior to a little trip to kent
its a 6Mp bridge job
first thing i noticed in the pp....lack of RAW data
such that the image in jpeg didnt pull around at all in LR3
and sort of stayed where it was using extreme sliders
i left the tone range and just concentrated on sharpness
i think it will take the lumix G1
and perhaps for the future a 16Gb compact which does RAW
whatcha think men?
