Panasonic ZS3 Black Lumix 10.1 MP Digital Camera

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 was designed as the ideal travel companion, packing a remarkable 12x optical zoom into a body small enough to slip into a jacket pocket. The Leica DC Vario-Elmar lens starts at 25mm — wider than the 35mm typical of most compact cameras — letting you capture sweeping landscapes, group photos, and tight interiors without stepping back. At the telephoto end, the 12x zoom brings distant subjects close, making it versatile enough for wildlife at a distance or stage performances from the back row. MEGA optical image stabilization works throughout the zoom range to counteract hand shake, keeping shots sharp even at full zoom.

The 10.1-megapixel sensor delivers enough resolution for large prints, and the Intelligent Auto mode takes the guesswork out of settings by analyzing each scene and applying the best combination of exposure, white balance, and focus. Face Recognition helps ensure portraits are consistently sharp. The 3-inch, 460,000-dot LCD provides a bright, detailed display for composing and reviewing images. HD video recording in AVCHD Lite format adds a convenient video capability, making the ZS3 a well-rounded compact camera for everyday use and travel photography.
