 Refurb good as new May 30, 2008
M. Loomis (Cincinnati)
I bought this from Amazon's own refurb department for quite a good deal. The only blemish was a scratch running down the left-hand side of the lcd glass which is completely invisible when the camera is on and the screen is lit. Other than that there is no way to tell this wasn't completely new.
The camera itself is the best point-and-shoot I have seen. It is a little on the heavy and bulky side so if size and weight are your main consideration for buying a camera then pass this by. But it is so heavy and bulky because of the amazing lens: 10x optical zoom (up to 40x digital) and 28mm equivalent wide-angle, which may be even more impressive than the zoom. There are plenty of cameras out there from other manufacturers that offer the same or in some cases better than 10x optical zoom, but I don't believe any of them offer wide angle as well, especially not for this price!
The camera also has 21 special shooting modes like candlelight, starry sky, sports, baby, etc. and "intelligent" auto mode that does a pretty good job of picking the right settings for the environment without having to switch to the special modes. All very easy to pick up and use. Add to that really good video and you have in my mind the ultimate point-and-shoot digital camera. I bought an 8gb memory card to go with it and I can now shoot over 2100 pictures or 28 minutes of uninterrupted video. My only real problem right now is I misplaced the battery charger! I've really got to find that.
 Great Camera May 27, 2008
A. Sumpter (Dayton, KY United States)
We purchased this camera for a tour to Europe. It was absolutely wonderful! I love the fact that when reviewing photos you can zoom in on the screen. Also, the actual pictures and functions were great. The only thing I'd recommend is if you are going to be taking pictures all day long like we were, buy an extra battery because it died on us some of the days we were sightseeing all day long.
Otherwise it was awesome!
Nearest you can get to an SLR in its catagory May 25, 2008

You may find the interface non-sophisticated and downright dumb. But you will come to love this piece of superb machinery once you've played with it a little. Excellent picture results, topped with a 10x optical zoom. I won't be needing another camera to replace this one for a long time. I highly recommend you look no further and buy this product.
As an old er user of KODAK this is a super leap of technology for an average "Traveling" user. May 20, 2008

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3K 7.2MP Digital Camera with 10x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Black)As an infrequent camera user we've had an older KODAK which had sufficed. Double AA batteries are a killer on a long run. I have lots of back up for it. Our recent purchase and use at Disney/Orlando,(in prep for an Alaska trip) with the DMC-TZ3 for both single and video shots was just great. Never needed the back up battery I purchased and I did a lot of video/sound recording. As an amatuer at best, my first attempt at singles and video turned out great. Lots of info in the "instructions" but you'll have to work with the "camera on-line" menu also where they give "the" photo situation you are in at the moment and that really helps get great pics.
Lumix DMC-TZ3S Review May 19, 2008
Steve (Cincinnati)
I purchased this camera a couple of months ago and it's been great. I wanted something that was easy for my wife to operate (it has an beginner setting) but it also has more settings if you are an experienced photographer. It syncs directly to the printer, driving the printing, which is really easy. The zoom is 10x optical - hard to find in a pocket-sized digiat camera. And she loves the large screen.
