I think it's safe to say that Panasonic is going to sell a lot of Lumix DMC-ZS3 cameras.
The ZS3 is certainly not without its flaws, but for the time being, it looks like Panasonic has yet again come up with the camera to beat in this increasingly crowded niche.
Panasonic has done it again with the ZS3, producing a well-designed and exceptionally versatile camera ideal for travel, but also well suited to just about any type of general snapshot photography. Build quality, design, performance and image quality are all excellent...
In short, one of the best compacts on the market just got better, and as such we can easily award the Lumix ZS3 our Highly Recommended rating.
If you're looking for a real point and shoot with the flexibility to cover a large variety of shooting situations, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 offers a very compelling alternative.
