Panasonic TZ5 Or TZ7??? Advice please.

[Andy4k6]

Hi,

I'm looking for a new camera as my old Nikon is now my work camera.

I have had a look round and decided i like both the TZ5 and TZ7, I was hoping someone with some more knowledge than me could recommend which is the best buy.

I'll be using the camera for general holiday photo's and bits of video, I will also be using the macro regular for some close up car photo's and eBay items.

I have found the TZ5 for around £150 refurb () or £180 new and the TZ7 for around £260.

From reading reviews I'm swaying toward the TZ7 for the better video e.t.c but then it's also £100 more which will stretch the finances.

Many thanks in advance,

Andy

I'd go for the TZ7 especially if you have an HDTV.
I have one myself and the HD video...limited in length as it is...is stunning quality.

Thanks Jaycee,

Have you owned both the 5 and 7?

Does anyone know of any local/ chain stores that may stock thease at around £260?

I have been looking around and can only find them online, Buyacamera.co.uk have them for £261 delivered but i would rather buy it over the counter.

Many thanks

Andy.
