Long and wide-angle zoom lens in a compact body; 720p movies; lens can zoom during movie capture.
Very few manual controls.
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.
Poorlyplaced mode dial, lack of PASM, fairly aggressive noise at ISO 1600
The TZ7 s a very good camera. It offers exactly what models in the compact superzoom market should: namely, an extensive focal range in a compact body, along with extensive functionality and an ample LCD screen. However, it does have niggles with rega...
Very good photo quality, Packs a 12X, 25 300 mm lens into a small, wellbuilt package, Optical image stabilization, Very little barrel distortion, Stunning 3inch LCD display with excellent resolution and outdoor / low light visibility, Snappy performanc...
Images have a grainy appearance, even at lowest ISOs; still some smudging of low contrast detail, AVCHD Lite codec makes video sharing and editing a chore (though you dont have to use it); no video viewer/editor for Mac OS included, Cant adjust white...
Its no secret that I really liked last years Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5. Its replacement -- the Lumix DMC-ZS3 (also known as the TZ7) -- is even better, in most respects. I love the new lens and its very versatile focal range, and the Intelligent Auto M...
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ7 is easy to recommend to anyone looking for a compact, pocketable point-and-shoot camera that takes great photos with the added bonus of HD video. Although the DMC-TZ7 no longer has the travel zoom market to itself, with the...

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ7 is set to be one of the best super-zoom, point-and-shoot compact digital cameras on the market. If you've been considering purchasing a new compact camera, it's definitely plumping for this snapper — especially if you want ...
Abstract: Panasonic has long been a leader in the ultra-zoom category, largely because it has produced cameras that are genuinely pocketable but are also easy to use, feature-rich and offer good performance. Unfortunately, its taken almost six months since we f...
300mm zoom lens (35mm equivalent), excellent face recognition and tracking, intelligent ISO, takes clear photos, 27 scene modes
Awkward placement of the shutter button, very loose mode dial
Apart from a couple of design quirks, we think the Panasonic LUMIX DMC-TZ7 digital camera is almost the perfect point-and-shoot. It’s easy to use, has a wide-angle lens with a huge zoom, produces good colours and clear images, and it can double as a...
Excellent LCD screen , 12x optical zoom , HD video , Clean, crisp images up to ISO 400
Mode dial has a tendency to fall out of place , No manual controls , Zoom in movie mode is achingly slow , Flickering band across video
If it wasn't for the clunky mode dial and lack of manual controls, we would have no qualms about recommending the TZ7 to anyone looking for a compact camera with a 12x optical zoom and HD video recording....
