Advantages: Build quality & X10 zoom Disadvantages: Heavy and thirsty on battery life.
...Like all point and shoot cameras the PanasonicLumixDMC-TZ3 has it's limitations, but in my opinion that is a good selling point. As a professional photographer I sometimes need the simplicity of a P&S to help capture a moment without over complicating it with loads of hi-tec equipment.
The DCM-TZ3 is one of the easiest cameras I have ever used and the image quality is easily good enough for anything the home user would need and more. I took one of these on a trip to South America recently and I'm earning money from those picures already.
The 7.2 megapixel sensor means you can print up to poster size photos with good definition and the X10 zoom lens is remarkable for a camera that can still fit in your pocket. The dials are dead easy to use and it also has video with sound.
Yes it's a little heavy, but this is due to a good build...

Advantages: sleek, elegant, sharp, attractive Disadvantages: picture quality is not that good
...Panasonic has dissappointed us with this product of theirs. It Simply doesnt look to be Panasonic. I have used many 8 mega pixel cameras and this seems to be the worst one. But if you go for the looks and easy handling camera than you could have this as your choice. It has a stylish slim compact body and a wide angle Leica DC lens that can fit a wide image, but you can get this better with a Sony cybershot photography camera, but the cybershot wont be this stylish. Panasonic have got a great feel to the body i must say. It attracts you the moment you see it. A big Lcd adds to the looks. But if Panasonic works on the function aswell as the form, then i suppose there is going to be nothing like this. To people who wana buy this, i would recommend a Cybershot...

A couple of weeks ago I was introduced to this tiny digital camera, now there have been plenty tiny digital cameras in the past but none have been all that good. This one however has an unbelievable amount of features for such a small piece of equipment. more
I bought this camera as a replacement for our "family" camera we have used my wife's old 35mm Cannon for taking holiday snaps and felt it was a good time to replace it with a digital. "We" wanted a camera with a good optical zoom, "I" wanted a camera to... more
I had been after a Digital SLR for some time, and when the opportunity arose to buy one I did just that. Well, that's not actually technically true. By rights this camera is not a digital SLR, but in fact a compact 'superzoom' camera, it looks like a... more
From what i have used of the camera so far this camera will eat up any picture you want to take with it, I makes everything look so good with the massive 10x optical zoom.
The specifications are as follows:
9.1 Mega pixels
10x optical zoom

I treated myself to one of these cameras in the sales after Christmas. I was expecting a larger, SLR-sized camera, but was pleasantly surprised at how light and compact the camera is in reality. The quality of the lens is excellent, and good quality... more
I have recently bought this camera at the beginning of September, it arrived 2 days before I did a hot air balloon flight so I had no time to practice with it at all, however the pictures I took have come out fantastic and the camera couldn't have been... more
