Panasonic - Lumix DMC-TZ3 Digital Camera —

Large 3" viewing screen with extra bright setting for many outdoor situations. Use total point and shoot setting or fully manual and a real nice macro setting. 10X optical used with the 4X digital allows a 40X zoom if needed. Image stabalizer and will hold up to a 4Gig memory card. With all the features on this unit the main thing I was interested in was it is a small pocket size camera.

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.
