TZ7 records in AVI mpeg4 h.264
But it also gives an option of recording video alternatively in motion jpeg format

2. It must have some controls, by full manual controls you mean changing aperture and shutter speed? so you saying that in fx36 you cant change it there are few options available to tweak it on manual setting.
|
TZ7 and FX36 have few options to tweak some settings. But you cannot change aperture & shutter speed. You can do it only on the FX520.

3. you will be using the camera for video recording as well, so would you manage without the optical zoom.
|
Yes. I don't really need optical zoom during video. It would be a "nice to have" feature but not "must to have"

4. which resolution will you prefer highest 720p or a lower 848*480
|
Again, 720p would be "nice to have" and not "must to have". Widescreen 16:9 is a "must to have"...thats it.

5. I was just wondering.. all these cameras are 10mp with the same small sensor.. have you seen any current model with 8mp with larger sensor or say instead of 1/2.33.
|
I noticed a model Panasonic FX180 which has been recently discontinued. That had the features of the FX36 but with a large 1/1.6" sensor and 14.7 megapixels. Still high pixel density but atleast a bigger sensor. No current model is 8 MP with the features that I need....wide angle & widescreen video
Sony W300 & Fujifilm F200EXR also have larger sensors, but also more megapixels.

Sony W270 in Visual mpeg4 codec in mp4 format
Panasonic TZ7 in AVCHD in avi format
