I received the ZS7 (red) this week from Amazon. The box says: Box contains: Digital Camera Unit Battery Pack Battery Case Battery Charger AV Cable USB Connection Cable CD-ROM Hand Strap Operating Instructions The "battery case" is just a bit of plastic and I almost threw it out--I'm not sure what the purpose is. I think it's just to add another line item on the box. ;o) Some people have mistakenly said that this includes an HDMI cable--it does not. You will need to purchase a mini HDMI to HDMI cable. I haven't purchased one yet for this camera, so I cannot attest to the video quality with an off-market brand, but I will certainly try one (I've had good luck with Mediabridge cables, limited lifetime warranty) before shelling out the extra cash for the Panasonic cable. I hope this helps. It's a basic kit, but it is nice that they included a hand strap. I bought an Xacti CG10 and it didn't include one. It's not a big deal, but it seems to be one of those items you can't find right away when you need it. When I get a new "toy" I want to play with it right away and I'm such a klutz, I have to have some type of hand strap for protection! Good luck!

Hi Ginett. The camera is pretty light, but does have a little bit of a "solid" feel to it. If weight is a concern, you could also consider a Panasonic model, which I bought for my wife to keep in her purse. It is a little smaller and lighter but includes a wide angle lens, long lasting battery and a (slightly less powerful, but still very adequate) 10X Zoom. This one is a Panasonic Lumix Model DMC-ZS02. It has most of the features of the larger one and costs around $50 less. Either camera will easily fit in a shirt pocket. Hope this helps.

I bought my Sony used so I can not say what the box looks like from the factory.. I would surmise it contains the Software disk and battery and charger.. Getting mine used at the local camera store I got a new extra Sony battery. I just happened to be at the store when a customer came in to trade his 5n in on a new Sony 7n... Were I shopping today I would go for the 7n if my budget could get around that one, the photos of these cameras is nothing short of amazing and so compact that you will be just blown away with the ease of taking it with you and enjoying all the photos you will get with it...

Hey, I don't know where you live, but I just bought mine in black on 9/10 here in NYC. By the way, I've been waiting for Amazon to have this camera too. I pre-ordered both of them (black and silver), and never received an email saying that they were finally available to purchase. So, I took things into my own hands and found it myself. The camera is the BEST camera I've ever tried! I recently bought the fx500 from panasonic and the fujifilm f100. And before those two, I was a canon powershot sd500 owner. I can go into more detail, but I thought you would like to know of something I wrote on the forum page for the LX3 on photographyblog.com: Hey y'all, Sorry it has taken me a long while to respond to this little discussion, but just yesterday 9/10/08, I FINALLY bought the LX3 in black here in NYC at a family run Jewish store called 17thstreetphoto in the Photography district in NYC. I spoke with a super friendly man named Doug who told me that they got the silver and black ones 2 days ago from yesterday. they have 50 each. So, I went down there and immediately bought one. They have a 7 days no questions asked return policy so I'm trying it out like a crazy man. I attached the website. Keep in mind that if you mention the fact that on EBAY they have the price listed at $475, they will honor it in the store even though they have it priced at $499. Any questions ask me. But the purchasing experience with them was excellent.

I think you should get the Panasonic TZ5 (or TZ4 if you don't care about HD video). The TZ's will jump to an Optical 16.7x@ 3MEGAPIXELS, and will be in the $200- 230 area vs. the much more expensive 12x...I have both the TZ5 and SX110. They are both GREAT cameras. The TZ5 is lighter and smaller, and you can take video with optical vs digital zoom (clearer video). I bought the SX 110 , because there is a CHDK modification available for it (Google CHDK). You can do timelapse, RAW format, extend the shutter speed to 64 seconds....but if you are using the camera for the day, I would go with the TZ4 or 5, but you better hurry- all of these cameras are discontinued!

I think I will buy the Panasonic Lumix ZS3 hybrid camera when more positive reviews are available, probably in April. It has stereo sound recording, usable zoom while taking video and 3" 460K resolution LCD. The only minor drawback with it is it does not support manual mode. There is no RAW mode too at this time, but that's software and they can easily add that later in new firmware. It also costs about $50 more than the SX200. Of course the SX1 IS is better, but that is a different class of camera and too bulky for light traveling.

Thanks for the replies. After playing around with the TS2 for a few weeks I decided to exchange it for a Lumix DMC-ZS7. It's not rugged but it's a great camera. Thanks again.

I got camera from Amazon yesterday. I've done lots of playing with it. You can change white balance and even set it to a custom level.Auto-stitching of panoramas is quite nifty.Zoom motor very noisy during movies.Battery life is only fair and re-charging seems a bit slow.Pretty impressive stills in full sun. I bought Sony to replace Panasonic DMC-ZS3 that died and Panasonic service department has not satisfied me.

Its ludicrous that both Amazon and Panasonic don't tell you what is in the box when you order the ZS3. I complained to both about this. Turns out the only way to tell is to go to the Panasonic site, download the owner's manual PDF file and find the list on page 12 or so. So other poor bastards like myself won't have to waste the time repeating this I include the "What's in the box" list below. ...also all the battery confusion - what a mess - I decided to avoid any unpleasant firmware surprises [taking off version 1.2 for 1.1 to allow non-OEM batteries to work] by getting a car charger. Yes, you CANNOT get the Panasonic official battery for the ZS3 yet (unless you buy the camera also!). Somebody said late September at the earliest. What's in the box: Battery Pack DMW-BCG10PP * Charge the battery before use. (referred to in this manual as `battery') Battery Charger DE-A65B (referred to in this manual as `charger') Battery Carrying Case VGQ0E45 Hand Strap VFC4297 USB Connection Cable K1HA14AD0001 AV Cable K1HA14CD0001 CD-ROM * Install software on your computer to use it.
