Product Shot 1 The Pros:Clear zoom. Wide angle photography. High quality metal body.

The Cons:Images are noisy starting from ISO 200 (and above). AVCHD Lite HD video format is not very well supported, can be a hassle for exporting. Auto focus speed is slow compared to options from competitors such as Canon.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 is the high end of the Z Series digital cameras that offers 10.1 megapixels and 12x optical zoom to create quality images from distances. To assist with the capturing of these images they have installed a 25mm wide-angle lens which increases the area of the visual field enabling the user to take large group or landscape photos.
