From above reviews, we can easily know that users are satisfied with video quality from Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7 at least.

But I am afraid that if your videos are captured by 60p or 50p, it is difficult to import these files to FCP 7 in that the formation which 60/50p files contain is more than 60/50i files.
