Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ7 Red

Kingkong

Ive been trying to track down the best deal to buy this. I know its a popular model at the moment and taught some fellow boarders might be able to help.

So FAR I have

Pixmania €362 + P&P €12

expansys €375

Dabs €345 but not in red:(

Camerabox.co.uk £265+ P&P £ 13 = € 336

ukdigitalcameras £279+ P&P £13 = €348

Anyone out there got any suggestions???

£265 + £8 postage. Dont know anything about this crowd. I checked before on the photography forum and they weren't part of the known sellers list.

Great reviews on this camera and planning to get one myself.

Looks like ditigal-cameras.com is ran by camerabox which has some terrible reviewed when googled.

Thanks for the help Dazzy, Will let you know when i get mine where i go it

If you're travelling to the uk or know anyone who is any time soon, take a look in Dixons 'Duty Free' (same price wherever the destination) on the way back.

A different Panasonic model I recently bought cost...
£235 in Dixons 'Duty Free'
£269 in Dixons on the highstreet
£269 ex del Amazon
€299 Komplett
€310 Dabs
€349 PC World Ireland
€439 Bermingham Cameras (Site quote:"You save: €30.00 (6%)" - WTF!!?!?)

There's probably another few places I forgot to list. Hope that helps!

I'm thinking of getting one of these myself. Only problem is the cost of spare batteries. They are fairly expensive, something to do with a chip in them afaik.

Kingkong

didnt know abt that reckon someone will either figure out a work around or make a battery which works.

Cmar-Ireland

There are 3rd party batteries that are cheaper than the panny ones. But they will only work with certain firmware on the camera.

I've been shopping around for this too. You should try the shops. I've spotted it for €300 (don't know if they had red though). I'm not going to say where cause I haven't bought it yet and don't want it sold out before I get there

edit: dammit it turns out it was the TZ6 :mad: TZ7 was €399 and that was with €30 off!

Kingkong

Yea taught that was too good to be true. €320 is the best ive seen. Got it two days ago, really like.

Hi KingKong

There seems to be 2 red TZ7's on web sites.

1. Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ7 Red (Limited Editon!!)
2. Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ7 Red

The Limited Editon seems to be no so bright red where as the other seems to be bright red.

Which one have you and is the red worth getting?? looks wise?

Dazzy

Picked up a black one of these today for £248 approx €275 delivered from camerabox.co.uk. Great exchange rate right now helps the price.
