Best Compact Camera - much better than Canon !
First, I'm very picky. I carry a camera in my pocket at all times. I've been using a Canon SD400 for 2 years and an SD110 for 4 years before that. I got tired of waiting for Canon to add more zoom since 3x is not that useful. Well, the wait is over and I've left Canon. I wasn't sure but I got a 30-day money-back guarantee so I figured why not. Trust me it's not going back.
This camera has 10x optical zoom plus optical image stabilization. It has wonderful clarity and lots of...

In my opinion, the best affordable pocket camera available
If only the Lumix TZ3 had the instant reactions of a much more expensive Nikon or Canon DSLR, it would be the perfect pocket camera, a worthy successor to the Leica M3, M4 or M6. As it is, the TZ3 comes really close to being the perfect digital pocket camera.
The lens is the biggest part of the story: 28mm - 280mm (35mm equivalent), a full 10x zoom that doesn't extend more than 2 inches from the body. The 28mm capability makes a huge difference. I just spent the weekend with my sw...

The perfect vacation camera
We owned the same Fujifilm digital camera for over seven years, so before buying a new one, I did a lot of research. I settled on the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3 for a number of reasons, the primary being:
1. The wide angle view at the bottom of the zoom range -- I find that a wide angle lens is much more useful in general photography than a super-telephoto range. The TZ3 has a 35mm camera equivalent of a 28mm lens, which is perfect for group shots, landscapes, interior photos, etc. And...

Perfect balance of features and portability for the price
I jumped into digital photography way before it was cool, spent far to much money, and soon after bought a nice 35mm slr and a scanner. I refused to spend more money on new digital until I could pack nearly all of the quality features of my slr into a small carryable digital. Sure the TZ3 does not have manual mode but as many times as I actually use manual mode I figure I don't need it. How many times do Hummer drivers actualy take them off road any way? Dont get me started (: The over all...

grrrrrrrrrrrrr8
All cameras have something that could be improved , there is no such thing as perfect anything. This one comes close enough for me. I am no beginner either, I have used SLR cameras for years and now like the freedom this offers, things that people take for granted these days did'nt exist yesterday. Like the features this camera offer, people just think Oh! someone said on the internet Panasonic cameras don't take good pictures, noisey or what not. BULL CR**. Film cameras did'nt work the best in ...

Great Camera!
I bought the camera to replace a perfectly fine Canon SD550, because the TZ3 featured 10x zoom and image stabilization. After a recent vacation trip, it turns out that the feature that I like best is the wide angle end of the lens, which gives just enough additional field of view to make a noticeable difference in pictures of scenery, etc. (it is 28mm equivalent versus 35mm for the Canon and most point and shoot cameras). The surprise feature that I would rank #2 is the easy-to-set-up scene mode...

Fantasic Camera, Superb Zoom
Shopped around quite a bit for my next camera and settled on the Panasonic Lumix with 10x zoom and I haven't been disappointed. Excellent picture quality, good interface (not perfect - sometimes hard to figure out exactly what "mode" will yield the best pictures), beautiful and large LCD (with high setting for outdoor viewing), and that fantastic 10x zoom that takes close-ups and long shots with equal aplomb.
All the features work extremely well and I've been very impressed with ou...

10X = 5 Stars
I have had a couple of digital cameras for work(3x zoom/3-5MB types) prior to getting this one for personal shots. The zoom capability and the sharpness is what attracted me to this model. I wanted to to get a DSLR at first but I realized that I didn't want to carry a lot of gear. This camera fits in my pocket(front pocket...you sit on this and you will bruise) and is quick to get turned on and take a shot. The low light gripes I hear from folks is typical...keep in mind film never had a real an...

Outstanding
I have had the camera for a month now and I absolutely love it. I bought it for the massive zoom and the ability to slip it into my pocket. I was also looking for something inexpensive, but is feature rich and adjustable. The lumix offers so much more than that. I love the 10x Zoom. It turns out that I have used high zoom many times in a month. I am glad I did not buy a camera that has a 3x or 4x zoom like the canon, or go around toting a big camera bag.
The camera has lots of very ...

read all the Amazon reviews and bought one.
For an average shooter this is a fantastic camera. You won't be sorry. If you're a professional, don't bother to write a review. You should know better before you buy. This is a great point and shoot and if you want to experiment you can try different settings. Went to Bryce Canyon and love the camera. Battery life is excellent. Get a backup they're cheap. I bought this for the 10x optical which can go to 15x if you set the pixs at 3.2 or 12x at 5 pix. The surprise I'm appreciating is the 28mm ...
