Excellent (from a pro photojournalist)
Let me start with my credentials: I've been working for a major daily newspaper for 23 years. I've won various photo contests, from local and regional contests, to national and international contests such as NPPA, POY, as well as the National Baseball Hall of Fame (several times). I've literally traveled around the globe, covering news features and sports. So, please allow me to lend my own feedback on this camera, which I have owned for several months now. I've also started actively shooting wi...

Great camera with few disappointments
I really like this camera. It has 10x optical, image stabilization, a 3.0inch lcd with 230,000 pixels, and more. The size is great for a 10x zoom camera. Image stabilization and is great for getting shots that would come out blurry with my Canon Powershot A620. My other favorite feature besides the zoom and image stabilization, is the wide angle. It is great to finally get cityscapes and have the whole skyline in one shot!! And with the camera set to 16X9, I can get a 24mm shot!

Fantastic, extremely versatile camera
Extremely impressed with the TZ3. This gem should get 5 stars on construction and finish alone. Just holding it in your hands it screams quality and feels like a tank. Love it. It seriously feels like a $700 camera. No exaggeration. I was a little worried about it not being able to fit in my jean pockets before buying it. Women may have issues with really tight jeans but for us guys no problem. It fits fine. I seriously cant believe I can carry around a camera with a 10x zoom inside my jean pock...

Great feel, retro look, awesome zoom, nice shots
Upgrading to the TZ3 from a 4yr old Canon 3.2 megapixel. Waited a few months to purchase when I heard the TZ1 was being updated. With the TZ3, Panasonic has fixed the main complaints about the TZ1 which were: No build in lens cover, noisy images at higher ISO speeds. IMO, the build in lens cover alone is wirth the price permium over the TZ1.
As others have said, this camera has a great build quality, easy operation, and a high-quality look. I ordered the black model and was pleasan...

Love it! Love it! Love it!
Told the clerk I wanted:
Good zoom (10x!), wide angle, burst shots, image stabilization, low light capability, ... and for under $300. Retail is $349, but Amazon had $299 + free 1gig SD card.
Just returned from vacation and downloaded my pix--they are beautiful! The zoom pix are very clear. My low light/image stabilization needs some work--or better yet a tripod, but the capability is there.
Intelligent ISO setting became my standard. Lots of other settings, so I don't have...

Great Camera
Great camera! I've owned many digital cameras and they all have their positives and negatives... but what I realized that I needed most was optical zoom better than 3x because I love to take close up shots of people and pets. The Panasonic Lumix is great!! 10x optical zoom is exactly what I needed. The shots are great... clear... this camera is easy to use. I've only had it a few weeks and still learning about all the settings available and what to use when. But some of the obvious setti...

Big features in small package
Great camera..10x super zoom in small package wow!! Plus
16:9 format in video and still photos.I use mulit-burst w/ optical zoom
on ocean waves crashing on beach for beautiful color images.
Deleting photos takes a bit longer than a cannon I own but the
multi-delete is very useful.All in all I say its money well
spent considering all the options you get. Just purchase an
extra battery(Frys $35) and a 4G card and you can shoot all day..
video included.

Great product for reasonable price
I recently went on a 3 1/2 week trip to Europe with some friends and I wanted a good, durable camera that was small enough to stuff in my purse but that also had a good optical zoom. This Lumix fit the bill perfectly. It's easy to use, has simple point and click as well as more complex features as you become more familiar with the camera. I spent about 10 minutes looking over the instruction booklet and off I went. The zoom totally lived up to its promise. The 10x was awesome and I got incr...

Unique package of features in a point & shoot digital camera
I've had my TZ3 since June, and as a casual photographer I'm very pleased with its ease of use and with the pictures I've taken with it. But for the reason discussed below, this is not a camera you can just toss into your purse or backpack without a protective case on it. That's why I'm giving it four stars.
I chose this camera because of:
-- the 28mm lens (which so far I haven't found on any other point and shoot digital camera - though there may be one out there som...

Amazing zoom always with you
This camera has lots of interesting features but the key reason to buy it is to put 12x in your pocket. You can't get the shot if the camera isn't with you and most big zoom cameras don't fit comfortably in your pocket. This one will always be with you. Because I had it in my pocket while hiking, and because it has a huge zoom, I was able to get some excellent shots of a couple of deer.
You may have thought that the camera had a 10x zoom. But if you set the image quality to 5mp ...
