ELMARIT is a licensed trademark of Leica Camera AG. The FZ7 gets you closer to the action than ever before, with its amazing 12x optical zoom. The Optical Image Stabiliser compensates for camera shake and so minimises motion blur, ideal for getting that once in a lifetime shot. The Leica DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens* and 6 Mega pixels combine to capture every last detail, whilst the manual control option allows you to develop your creativity. The compact FZ7 is the perfect camera for those who get a thrill out of capturing images with a difference.
