I had this camera for years but it was getting some debris causing spots on the pictures. I like the picture quality so much that I decided to get the exact same camera to replace it. I found a barely-used one on eBay for a good price and I am happy. I like to use a camera, not my phone, to take pictures when I travel. This model is missing some of the more modern features, like bluetooth, which I don't need anyway.

I didn't expect much from the used camera but it is meeting its functions in good quality picture results. I had this Panasonic ZS3 camera before and this one needed some initial clean up to make the sticky lens barrels move smoothly. It is working fine.

I purchased this camera for my wife, and her main requirements were that it was easy to use but yet took quality photos and had a huge zoom. She also wanted to point and shoot the camera without looking in a manual to figure out how to turn it on. Originally we had been focusing on the ZS1, but this model has a larger LCD screen (3") and records in HD. That's been an added bonus, along with being able to use the 12X zoom while recording video. The camera also has a stability feature to help eliminate blurry photos from a shaky hand. (that would be me) We haven't used it alot, but are very pleased. A suggestion... Be sure to pick up a memory card right away. The internal memory disappears quickly, especially if recording videos in HD and/or having the photo setting on the highest resolution. We live on a farm and have a deer who's "adopted" us, showing off her fawns every spring for the past 3 years. With this camera we can sit on our deck, zoom in, and count the little one's eye lashes and she doesn't even know it. If you're still curious about the camera, drop a note and I'll be glad to show off some examples.Read full review
not much to say. Panasonic makes a great product. There Lumix digital cameras are the best i ever put my hands on. Improved there speed when taking a pic and then taking another pic its ready to go fast. this 12X optical zoom is impressive my dad and brother both have SLR cameras my ZS3 zooms in just the same and my pictures look better. ease of use with ia mode has improved. so i wont even have to hold the camera or press the button. lol Very Smart Camera haven't tried my HD video enough yet to for a good opinion. dual Mic's really cool feature.
I like the most the solid feel of this camera and the zoom range its Leica lens offers. I can go from wide angle for some scenery shots and tight indoor shots to telephoto shots that can still be hand held without the need of a tripod or the bulk of a bridge type camera. For everything in between,this ZS3 can handle beautifully. It is fairly responsive for a digital camera,meaning that I don't have to wait between shots or for things to happen after a button is pushed. I love the resuts : the photos it takes are beautiful so I don't have to erase too many bad shots or retake the same pose. It can take short movies too but this is a feature I don't use often. I decided on this Panasonic model because it answers most of my photographic needs and I chose it over the newer DMC-ZS5 (TZ-8) because it has a sharper, larger viewing screen and a convenient HDMI outlet to connect to my TV. There is no perfect camera,but with it looks, its feel, its capabilities, I consider my Panasonic DMC -Z3 the best all around camera.Read full review
I purchased this camera used because our other Panasonic TZ-5 had a cracked LCD screen. It's easy to use and the HD video is unbelievably clear. It has a face recognition feature that identifies faces instantly and enhances the focus. Make sure you get all of the accessories including the HDMI cable and USB cable for transferring photos and showing video and photos on your HD TV monitor. One thing I am not crazy about is the software that comes with it. There's better software out there and I recommend Picasa. Another good investment is a hard case to protect the camera as dropping it will surely crack the LCD screen. My Lumix DMC-ZS3 works like a charm and takes incredible photos.
This is a great camera for pics and video easy to use with a great zoom. Everyone tells me how great my pictures are while smart phones are really great this camera takes better pics and has a huge zoom to it. Also small and compact to carry. I have 2 they are cheap to buy second hand and now I can use my charger and memory for both.

I bought this camera because the ratings were above average for a point-and-shoot camera. I spent several months reading reviews on most of the best rated. I have had it for several months and find it be more than I expected for ease of use and the picture quality is excellent. I was experimenting with a flower from my garden in a glass vase against a white background in front of a very bright window in full zoom and full exposure. It turned out so beautiful I Framed it. I love it. I will be going to Italy in October and am anticipating some great pictures with my new camera. As a side note, my sister bought the same camera about the same time I bought mine, and we hadn't even talked to each other previously about buying cameras.
The Photo Quality happens to be one of the major factors in me purchasing this camera, along with the fact that the Image Stabilization is also phenomenal. Even at 7x Zoom photos come out great. The various image shooting features make it great for someone creative like me, and the video quality (at 720P HD) is superb. This is the second Panasonic Digital Camera I have owned in the last 5 Years, and I love it. The only thing I can really say negative about the camera is how shooting is at night/in dark scenery. Overall, this camera is definitely worth every cent.
Well I originally set out to find a very good point and shoot camera for taking with me to concerts and whatnot, I have had a few others in the past that weren't up to doing this, my nikkon took decent video but audio was just jumbled so I sold it and searched for a camera mainly for capturing video at loud concerts, I was sold on this model after typing the name and number in YouTube, there were alot of test videos using the new HD mode, but what really did it was a video that was taken at an AC/DC concert (how much louder can there be?) well the audio was great as well as video, I bid on a camera that day, so far I have taken some pictures and been to 1 live music event where I was only 10 feet from the stage, video came out clear and the music sounded good, definately worth the price of this camera, I will always have the memories of concerts now on video. Did I mention it records audio on Dolby surround, this is one awesome camera. One downside is the special cable made just for camera( should have used a mini USB) also uses a rechargeable battery instead of AA but it's cool, they are thin and small, I bought an extra one for 15 bucks that seems to work just as good as original, hope this review helps someone!Read full review
