'The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ3 is an attractive SLR-shaped camera with 3.1 effective megapixels'
'The FS3's emphasis is clearly on auto-mode shooting, with several new "Intelligent Auto" features promising more consistent shooting performance across a range of conditions'
'digital cameras are more like slide film than negative film (in that they tend to have a more limited tonal range), we test them in the harshest situations to see how they handle scenes with bright highlights and dark shadows, as well as what kind of sensitivity they have in low light.'
'The LZ5 is very light on accessories.'
'With the Panasonic Lumix DMC LZ5, Panasonic offer a very attractive camera indeed.'
'The LZ's pack a lot into a relatively compact package'
'the images were a little on the dark side and a little soft in some areas'
'Unfortunately, this camera's motion-picture features are particularly anemic: there's no microphone for recording audio, and resolution is limited to 320x240 pixels at 10fps or 30fps'
'flash coverage wasn't great, with significant edge falloff'
