Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 Pro Reviews

PC Advisor‘s review Edit Like Unlike

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ7 is set to be one of the best super-zoom, point-and-shoot compact digital cameras on the market. If you've been considering purchasing a new compact camera, it's definitely plumping for this snapper — especially if you want a digital still camera that will also capture exceptional video footage.

The Lumix DMC-ZS3 is a very good pocket megazoom camera, just a shade below Canon's PowerShot SX200 IS in terms of manual features and image quality. For casual photographers who'd rather let the camera do the work instead of tinkering with the settings (as well as for anyone seeking a powerful pocket camera that can also shoot HD video) the ZS3S is a top-notch, easy-to-use option.

The first thing that strikes you is the pin-sharp quality of the 3-inch LCD. The Panasonic DMC-TZ7 is equipped with a 12x zoom lens (from 25mm to powerful 300mm). Sharpness is extremely good throughout and, at the telephoto end, this is also a testament to the effectiveness of the excellent optical image stabiliser system. Our only minor complaint is the placement of the Mode dial, which makes it too easy to switch modes accidentally when reaching for the zoom switch.

In summary, the DMC-TZ7 is the best travel-zoom camera yet. Even the annoyingly loose Shooting Mode dial and slightly higher launch price don't detract too much from what is simply a fantastic camera. One of the best compacts of 2008 just got even better...

Easy enough to use for novices, with enough depth to keep the enthusiast happy, and a great lens to boot.

With the launch of the Panasonic LUMIX TZ7, we were curious to see which specifications Panasonic had changed in order to continue the success of its predecessors. We were pleasantly surprised to see the amount of effective pixels kept relatively low and the optical zoom lens replaced by a newer version with an even larger range. The ingredients were all there to offer Panasonic a chance to keep up or even increase its market share in this segment.

Panasonic has done it again with the TZ7, producing a well-designed and exceptionally versatile camera ideal for travel, but also well suited to just about any type of general snapshot photography. Build quality, design, performance and image quality are all excellent, it has a useful range of easy-to-use features, and of course it also has a superb HD video option with stereo sound.

Panasonic may no longer have the compact super-zoom market to itself, but the latest Lumix TZ7 / ZS3 remains a highly compelling camera that’s likely to sell by the bucket-load. It takes the already excellent Lumix TZ5 with its 720p video, 3in / 460k screen and multiple aspect recording, and enhances it with a wider and longer lens (with impressive quality), more efficient video recording (while retaining the older mode for easier editing), improved face detection, an HDMI port and an extra Megapixel.

The Lumix DMC-ZS3 comes close to our two-in-one fantasy device with its fantastic set of features...

Panasonic's new Lumix ZS3 is an outstanding new addition to the Lumix line. Packed full of features, you will be able to find a way to shoot in even the most difficult of situations. The 12x optical zoom lens makes this one of the most versatile cameras of the market, while the O.I.S. makes the 300mm telephoto end functional as a handheld.

AVCHD Lite and a bigger LCD make Panasonic's top compact a force to be reckoned with, but does it possess the power to take down Canon's top compacts?

Covering a range from 25-300mm, the Panasonic Lumix ZS3 is a great companion, whether you're going out for a walk or on a long trip. Panasonic took a few simple steps to make the ZS3's interface easier to use, and the results will appeal to most users. What I liked most was having a zoom lens that was long enough to encompass my vision: allowing me to shoot both very wide angle and reach out a little further than normal with a 300mm-equivalent zoom.

The Panasonic TZ models have long been some of our favorite cameras around here, earning high marks from forum members and our staff testers alike for their versatility, simplicity, and solid all-around performance. The ZS3 builds on this strong foundation, starting with a redesigned lens that is, if anything, even sharper than the original TZ lens while adding 25mm wide-angle coverage.

As long as you don't want much in the way of manual features, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 is a very nice camera that can handle a variety of shooting situations.
