Abstract: Back in March last year I reviewed the then-new Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ2 . It was one of a pair of models being promoted by Panasonic as the ideal travel cameras, tough and versatile with 28-280mm-equivalent 10x zoom lenses. The TZ2 is a six-megapixel mode...
Compact 10x zoom, Optical image stabilization, Nice, large LCD screen
Pokey performance, Noisy at 400 ISO and beyond
The 7MP Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3 goes for around $260 USD (silver), a bit more in different colors. At this price it’s a good choice for people who want to take a versatile digicam along on their travels. The 28mm lens is great for landscapes and...

Great photos in most conditions, SD memory, fantastic lens and zoom
Battery charger is inconvenient, extremely heavy
We loved the images we got with the TZ3, but we imagine that a couple factors, namely its bulk and weight, would prevent us from taking it everywhere. We loved the video mode, especially the high resolution, and also loved the variety of aspect rati...

Abstract: The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3 is already the third camera on line in the Traveler Zoom series. And one must admit that Panasonic made it an ideal combination. Sufficiently compact for carrying with you at all times, equipped with a large optical range an...
Wide-angle and long zoom capabilities in one lens, easy to use model, IS feature works well, LCD is large and bright
No viewfinder beyond LCD, low-light photos can be noisy, no manual-control features, extremely large prints can be soft
At first glance, you might notice the shortcomings of Panasonics Lumix DMC-TZ3. It is thin at about 1.5 inches, but its not ultra-thin and it wont fit in every pocket. It offers a high resolution, but it lags behind some others. Its image quality i...
Abstract: Panasonic’s new 7.2-megapixel Lumix DMC-TZ3 point-and-shoot digital camera is heavy on the features with a large 3-inch LCD display and a 10x Leica DC Vario-Elmar optical zoom lens with MEGA O.I.S. image stabilization. The 10x optical zoom lens puts...
10x optical zoom lens with optical image stabilization
Nice LCD size and resolution
Three aspect ratios
Wide video shooting
Plenty of scene modes including a Baby mode
Tiny buttons on the back of the camera
Harsh Flash
Weight of a half a pound versus lighter point-and-shoots
Limited manual controls
As the follow-up camera to the TZ1, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3 offers many improvements. Panasonic added an Intelligent ISO Control system, Clipboard function, wider focal length and higher ISO sensitivity. The Panasonic TZ3 fills a niche market of tr...
Solid performance, good quality build, extended zoom range, fair price given the level of specification on offer
Rather uninspiring design, bulkier and weightier than more slimline compacts
The TZ3 is not only 'one of its kind' when it comes to digital compacts - it also stands alone as the most successful marriage to date of a long focal range and relatively compact dimensions. It feels capable of standing up to a couple of years of us...
