Panasonics DMC-ZS3 Digital Camera features 10.1 megapixels, several different scene modes, 2-speed zoom, approximately 45mb of internal memory, and more!
We've just spent a weekend in Las Vegas and the photos are amazing! I would recommend this camera to anyone, it's very easy to use.

The price of this camera was amazing for the quality it provides. I have already recommended to multiple people. All are fans of how great the pictures are in low light areas.

Good camera; Very costly accessories to make it work as if they came with the camera; I would not buy this camera again because of what does not come with it as standard accessories; Reviews are deceptive because of no mention of costly accessories;

I am a former network level television cameraman, with a national emmy to my credit. On vacations, I have traveled with 2 35mm SLR bodies and 4 lenses, or backpacked with a light pentax mini SLR. Dive trips have included a Niconos 35mm SLR that made the SCUBA gear seem light, and trips through airports hell! Every choice of equipment has it strengths and weaknesses. I considered getting both a still camera and video camera. Then decided to try this camera. (I must be getting lazy in my old age.) I am thrilled with the choice. It takes better pictures at 10.1 MP than many camera with 12. I have noted very sharp images and little noise even under some very poor conditions. The HD movies are excelent! They are actually better than professional video I shot just a few years ago with camera/lens combos costing many thousands of dollars. I have shot more video in the past few weeks than I expected to ever shoot with this camera! The camera won't fit a shirt pocket, but a coat pocket is just fine. A very small case carries the camera, 2 extra batteries and an extra 32 GB card in padded safety. The camera you have with you, takes much better pics than the ideal camera at home. My gripe, I find it hard to play depth-of-field games. You need a smaller f-stop number to do that properly, and manual, not automatic. This camera has a tendency to have the whole world in focus. I find the battery problems talked about by others exagerated. I have shot 45 min of continuous HD video with the original battery and had enough juce to view most of it. I do advise extra batterys, its only logical to have them. I think enough of this camera, that when my lady friend broke her camera, I got her a red one for Vallentines. She loves it, but then had been drooling on mine. I have the black.

I have owned other cameras, ie. Fuji and Sony. However, none of them compare to this camera. The wide angle lens allows for great shallow distance photos and the 10.1 Megapixel quality is amazing. Simply "A Great Camera".

I had a Nikon D90 but didn't always want to carry the bulky weight on hikes or family outings. This camera is a great addition.

Great camera with awesome photo quality for the family photo taker. Lag in shutter time makes it difficult to capture action shots. Only tried the video briefly and found it to have poor quality but didn't expect much from a camera vs video recorder.

The lens is AMAZING! In Wide angle I can take a pic of the whole room with one shot.On Tele I took pics of Pikes Peak 30 miles away(with tripod) and I bet if there was some one walking on it I could have seen it.

I don't think it's a point and shoot camera. If you want to have great photos you have to always adjust some settings.
