Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 (silver)

THE GOOD: Long and wide-angle zoom lens in a compact body; 720p movies; lens can zoom during movie capture. THE BAD: Very few manual controls. THE BOTTOM LINE: As long as you dont 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.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 Review

It's hard not to love a digital camera that takes you from a very wide 25mm out...

Camera Labs – Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 review

Panasonic’s Lumix DMC-ZS3 continues to be one of the most flexible compacts on the market, and one with very few rivals.

The lens is now wider and longer than before and the choice of encoding formats for the HD video mode a...
