Camera Tests: Quality and 12x zoom: Canon SX200 IS and Panasonic TZ7

Two cameras we've all been waiting for join our digital compact comparison: the Canon SX200 IS and the Panasonic TZ7. A one on one: 12x zoom, HD video, wide-angle... Both must also live up to prior reputation in their series.

Several differences remain however: the Panasonic screen has better definition, its lens slightly wider-angled and it has stereo sound on video capture… And costs 70 euros more! Is the price difference justified? You’ll find the answer in our tests of the Canon PowerShot SX200 IS and Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ7.
