If you don't care about the GPS then the ZS19 is fine. As for the ZX7, why pay more for less. For that matter why not go for the ZS20 at the same price. You can turn the GPS off and save battery. Otherwise the ZS20 and the ZS19 are virtually the same.
Not a novice, not a pro, but travel a lot. Scared of the huge travel zooms ... is this camera going to break down on me. I want reliability and some durability and a good-sized zoom, but don't care about GPS or touch screens. I just want it to work.
Which camera do you recommend for hondo?
Panasonic DMC-ZS7 - $304
12 MP|12x f/3.3|1/2.5" CCD|3" LCD
Panasonic ZS20 - $299
14 MP|20x f/3.3|1/2.5" CMOS|3" LCD
