1) Electronics Photography Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3A 7.2MP Digital Camera with 10x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Blue) by Panasonic. This is the best camera I have ever used. The pictures are excellent, the zoom is phenomenal. The fast shutter speed allows me to take 4 pictures in the same time other digital cameras take one. Everyone I have shown it to or have tried to use it love the camera.¤

2) Electronics Photography Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3A 7.2MP Digital Camera with 10x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Blue) by Panasonic. Hello, I bought this item, because it was no longer availabel here in Germany, therefore excuse my typing / errors in spelling.
Well, what can I say this camera is wonderful. It has everything, I mean everything you can ask for. This camera has received best test results in 2007/2008 and is still a hot item in 2008 eventhough the new type TZ5 was launched in the market. This camera has received a better test results regarding the speed shooting pictures in sequence. It is therfore alos good snap shot camera, but much more than this. Read more: It does not take a long time compared to other cameras to charge, focus and take a wonderful shot. It shoots brilliant picutes although the flash is super bright. It does not have manual features, but many many programs from which you can choose of for almost every surrounding the right setting is available. Also, you have two buttons you can "pre-set"with your favourite settings so it is super simple to handle.
The "only" 7.x megapixels are just fine they match to the chip that is inside the camera and that´s the important part somebody told me. All pixels should have room on that chip to produce the best quality of pictures - which this camera really does.
But the best part is the super zoom, 10x and an additional digital zoom, also it has some neat functions like the "hold still button" not sure what the correct term is, but it prevents the camera or rather the image on the screen from shaking, you take quick, excellent, high resolution shots! Yeah, I love that camera, I put a fast SD-HD card inside, 4 GB so that I can use the "burst function" as well, many pics I can shoot in quick sequence. It looks nice and helps when you do a photo story.
Well, I could say much more positive things and only positive things this thing is great, remember you cover even a 28mm angle (wide angle).
Hey, if there are more of these "old" cameras on the market - go get one, the new typse not necessarily have to be better- remember this. Most of the time it is a battle among the manufactures more megapixels, but that does not count all the time. So, if you are thinking of buying a camera - this is the one, eventhough it is Japanese, but hey you know they make could quality besides the lens is I think made in Germany(!) Leica and that is still one of the top quality products / brands.
So, I hope I could give all readers a little insight of my feelings and view.¤

3) Electronics Photography Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3A 7.2MP Digital Camera with 10x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Blue) by Panasonic. I have used this camera for two vacations and many back yard pictures and am quite impressed with it´s capabilities! It was a little hard to get used to because it has more complicated settings than our previous Kodak digital camera, but I do love the 10-power zoom and high quality images! The 10-power zoom is especially helpful in capturing wildlife shots that will amaze your friends!¤

4) Electronics Photography Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3A 7.2MP Digital Camera with 10x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Blue) by Panasonic. This camera is a great point and shoot. It replaced a camera purchased from somewhere else and returned due to no battery life. This has great battery life and takes fantastic pictures. I´m a little challenged with all the settings... but.. that´s my fault and the reason for the 4 star rating instead of 5.¤

5) Electronics Photography Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3A 7.2MP Digital Camera with 10x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Blue) by Panasonic. This camera is really fantastic. I have owned a Sony point and shoot and an Olympus. The Sony was horrible and after a year I decided to buy a new camera and found this one.

This camera is incredibly advanced for such a small package. You can use it without ever fiddling with a setting and get great results. It also has some great advanced features if you like to play around with things like exposure compensation or ISO there is that option as well. You can adjust the color (cool, warm, natural, etc), the shutter speed, and the ISO sensitivity. There is a great continuous auto focus for moving subjects, 3 different metering modes, various focus modes (9 point, 3 point etc) and a great auto bracket mode where it will automatically take 3 pictures at 3 different exposures. There is also a continuous burst mode that allows you to take multiple pictures at 3 frames/second. Not to mention the 10X zoom is fantastic for such a small camera. The lens is also an excellent Leica 35mm film camera equivalent of 28-280mm/f3.3 to f4.9.

If you read all the reviews, you will see the negatives. It is true, at low light situations with the automatic setting it doesn´t do well. You can play around with some of the adjustments and get a decent picture, but sometimes that isn´t useful since by the time you make the ajustments the picture may be gone! Not to mention, if it is truly low light it can be hard to see the screen to make the necessary adjustments...

Overall I have to agree with most of the other reviewers and give this product 5 stars based on my experience with the other point and shoots I have owned.¤
