Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3

“While moving to a compact body always introduces compromises, the Panasonic TZ3 is one (and perhaps the only) compact camera that nearly matches larger, more expensive cameras feature-for-feature. With a large 28-280mm zoom range that includes both a wide-angle (great for landscapes and big landmarks) and a long telephoto range (for portraits and zooming in on small details), the TZ3 is the most versatile camera in this class. While its high ISO performance is a bit below average, the TZ3 does have an image stabilized lens, making it a competent camera for low-light photography. Best of all, especially for travel, it packs all of these features into a body that's half the size of the large, high-end ultrazoom cameras, and does it at half the cost!”

“The Lumix TZ3 is a Swiss Army knife of cameras, with a versatile lens and image stabilization, but doesn’t trade in usability for neat features.”

“Packing a class-leading big 10x zoom with wide-angle lens in a small body, the 7 megapixel Panasonic DMC-TZ3 captures panoramic views of landscapes and is a dream come true for travelers.”

“The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3 features some of the latest technology in digital imagery and was created primarily as an easy-to-use and family friendly digital camera solution. A generous 10x zoom for capturing all of the action from far away, and 'MEGA' optical image stabilization for reducing the effects of camera movement are also included in this excellent all-around shooter. The DMC-TZ3 packs intelligent ISO control which adjusts your camera's sensitivity to light and movement to capture shots under high speed or low light conditions, all without you having to mess with complicated manual settings. ”
