Panasonic's Lumix DMC-TZ10 (or ZS7 as it's known in North America) is the latest model in the company's enormously popular travel zoom series. It is a full-featured, compact digital camera with full high-definition video recording built-in. Available in 4 bold colors, the stylish ergonomic body is easy to carry and fun to use. It records video with advanced MPEG-4 AVCHD .mts formats and the HDMI port can be configured to output 576p, 720p or 1080i signals (although AVCHD Lite movies are always output at 720p).
