'the camera feels fairly sturdy with the exception of the right side, which is capped by plastic with part of it being a door covering the mini HDMI and USB/AV port.'
'Shadow detail is somewhat limited, due mostly to the camera's noise suppression efforts.'
'consumers a great compact camera'
'Screen brightness is manually adjustable (five steps), though even with the brightness maxed, there's too much glare off the display's coating to effectively use the camera in bright, direct sunlight.'
'with better photo quality, slightly faster performance, and a wider angle lens, the ZS3 does improve upon the older model.'
'The Lumix DMC-ZS3S is very much a "set-it-and-forget-it" model; it's dead simple for a novice to take a good photograph, because the camera is packed with complex automated features. '
'The Lumix DMC-ZS3 is certainly one of the most advanced compacts on the market, and one we truly enjoyed shooting with.'
'I had no problem slipping the Panasonic ZS3 into my back pocket and shirt pocket when I headed out to shoot'
