Initially I started with the Panasonic DMC-TZ1 which is a good product. When the megapixels went to 7 I decided to upgrade and I haven't been one bit sorry. This model has more features, specifically the menu set-up. Much easier to use. I have always loved the 10X zoom feature. I've had many compliments on my photography in all modes ,but especially the Macro mode.

The anti-shake is a great feature.

I've let several people use my camera and they have been so pleased with its performace and simplicity that they purchased one for themselves.

The DMC-TZ3 outstands for its high lens performance with capability of setting from 28 mm wide angle to 280mm telephoto while featuring Intelligent Image Stabilizer by MEGA O.I.S.(Optical Image Stabilizer) for suppressing hand-shake and Intelligent ISO Control for preventing motion blur. The DMC-TZ3 is an un-precedented type of compact superzoom digital camera never before realised in such a small size.
