Connectivity/ExtrasNext: Page 10
ConclusionValue
With a decent quality lens, easy zoom function, and 7.2 megapixels, the LZ7 is a good value for $199.
Who’s This Camera For?
Point-and-Shooters – This camera is geared for point-and-shooters who want some control over their images.
Budget Consumers – Bargain seekers might not fork over the bucks for this one, but the 7.2 megapixels and 6x optical zoom lens might be tempting.
Gadget Freaks – Serious gear heads probably wouldn’t be interested in the LZ7, but weekend techies could have some fun with it.
Manual Control Freaks – Manual control junkies might pass on this one due to its lack of aperture and shutter speed control.
Pro/Serious Amateurs – Not a camera for pros, but the 7 megapixels and moderate zoom might tempt them to into buying it for a vacation cam.
