Epinions Decent small point-and-shoot with great lens

by  kb9vrg,  Jan 4, 2007
Pros: Great optical zoom range, image stabilizer, fast response, easy controls, 3:2 and 16:9 aspect settings
Cons: Slow flash recycle, noise at higher ISO, lack of manual controls
The Bottom Line: Worth a look for a great lens and optical stabilization.
Review: The Panasonic DMZ-LZ3 is the fourth Digital Camera I have owned. I started life with a 1MP Canon A-Series, moved up to a Canon Powershot S30 3MP unit, and in 2002 purchased a Fuji S602. The S602 completely replaced my 35mm SLR unit and has been my camera ...

Epinions PERFECT DIGITAL CAMERA FOR BEGINNER

by  housewifemom,  Apr 18, 2007
Pros: Perfect camera for digital beginners. Great pics. Priced right. Easy to use. OIS feature.
Cons: Might not be compact enough for some. No viewfinder.
Review: Great for beginner to digital-type camera. Small enough to fit in purse or backpack. Priced right too. I was looking for my first digital camera and did not want to put out big bucks. My hands are always shaky with small cameras that are too lightweight ...

Epinions Panasonic DMC-LZ3

by  microdac,  Sep 19, 2007
Pros: The size and the small price. it is almost expendable.
Cons: I wish it had more mega pixels.
Review: A very good pocket camera! Even though I am a professional photographer, I will use the LZ3 on many occasions when using a larger (more "professional-looking") would deter the spontaneity of the shoot. People are not at all intimidated by the camera and ...

Epinions Excellent optics + OIS trump pixels limitations

by  mb_p,  Oct 10, 2006
Pros: The Optical Image Stabilization plus the extended 6X zoom makes for excellent pic detail
Cons: No optical viewfinder limits your framing possibilities
Review: The five megapixel DMC-LZ3 incorporates Panasonic’s MEGA Optical Image Stabilization, the camera lacks an optical viewfinder so get used to theLCD display, the display is bright enough for most situations and can be adjusted for brightness (though is ...

Epinions Wonderful Panasonic digital camera

by  pbaj99,  Jan 14, 2008
Pros: Clean, sharp pictures with a great zoom feature
Cons: The video could be longer
Review: I bought this camera for my husband for his birthday. We had a Kodak digital that was very poor quality and I wouldn't consider buying another again. I did a lot of research on line about cameras and the Panasonic cameras were consistently well rated. I ...

Epinions It's Been a Love/Hate Relationship with the DMC-LZ3

by  rwcat,  Jan 22, 2008
Pros: Easy to use and operate, nice pictures, reasonable battery life
Cons: "Freezes up" occasionally, questionable reliability
The Bottom Line: Although the picture quality and ease of use are strong, the reliability is just not there, so I cannot recommend this camera.
Review: I seem to have very bad luck with digital cameras and it has continued somewhat with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ3. My previous camera, which this one replaced because the previous one went dead for virtually no reason, was a Canon Powershot. I bought ...
