Super Power and Quality Offered by DMC-ZS3

By Reina Mae Apaitan

If you like the idea of having a lighter camera that is less bulky, perhaps to serve as a second camera that you can take with you anywhere, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 may be just what you are looking for. While this camera is not ultra-compact, compared to the Canon G10, it is twice as light and compact. When you're facing the task of making a choice between a camera that has all of the bells and whistles and is naturally bulky and a camera that has everything you need on it but is also compact and lightweight, the ZS3 delivers perfectly. While this camera is capable of fitting inside any pocket, the available range on it will ensure that you are never left wanting. With a stabilized 25-300mm lens, the Lumix DMC-ZS3 delivers excellent performance.

The DMC-ZS3 offers a host of excellent benefits, but perhaps one of the most impressive is its ability when compared to its size. The fact that the camera also features 12x zoom along with AVCDH video are also bonuses that cannot be overlooked. This is a very versatile camera that will allow consumers to actually replace their camcorders in many situations. The ZS3 also makes it possible for consumers to shoot a range of different subjects, from landscapes to portraits, easily thanks to the 25-300mm lens.

If you enjoy playing around with a variety of manual modes, you may be somewhat disappointed, as this camera does not feature manual modes. Still, the ability to shoot completely in auto makes the ZS3 extremely desirable. In addition, you can also operate the camera in intelligent auto mode. The Intelligent Exposure mode makes it possible to enlighten shades as well as improve the sensitivity for freeze movements through the Intelligent ISO. The camera even features auto correction to improve red eye when it is in the portrait mode. The ZS3 is a very smart little camera that makes it possible for you to photograph practically anything you might desire.

Another excellent benefit of the ZS3 is the wide angle lens, featuring the Leica logo. This is actually one of the best lenses on the market currently for this class of camera. The 25mm lends holds up extremely well, all without compromising quality in the least.

When the Lumix DMC-ZS3 is placed in video mode it really shines. It can actually operate as an all-in-one device, meaning that you can record in a host of different ways. If you are interested in saving money by buying just one device that can do everything, this is the camera to choose.

If you have been shopping around and comparing the DMC-ZS3 to other models produced by Panasonic or even other cameras produced by other companies, you may find yourself wondering which camera will provide you with the best features.

While Panasonic has a reputation for producing excellent cameras, the ZS3 appears to be one of the best produced thus far. Previous models from Panasonic have included a variety of notable features. This model takes those features and builds upon them while also including a host of new features as well, including increased power for the zoom lens, a new image processor and the HD movie mode and face detection ability. When comparing all of the benefits that were already offered by models from Panasonic and tossing in the new features, this model is definitely one that will be hard for the competition to beat.

In terms of the competition, the ZS3 is able to outshine even the SX200 IS from Canon due to the number of benefits that it offers over the PowerShot. Perhaps the only area where Canon might have a slight advantage is the presence of the manual controls, but even that is not a detriment, provided that you have no overwhelming desire to experiment with your own manual controls.
