Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 Review at Imaging Resource

May 3, 2009 By Eric Reagan

Imaging Resource has posted a review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3.

Though image quality is a little soft in the corners at wide-angle, distortion is low at both zoom settings, and overall image quality is excellent.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 Review at Digital Camera Review

May 2, 2009 By Eric Reagan

DCR has posted a review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3.

What we see is what’s become the norm for cameras in this resolution class, with acceptably clean (though, under careful analysis, still rather grainy) shots at ISO 80 and 100, a decided escalation in noise between ISO 200 and 400, and extremely compromised fine detail at ISO 800 and beyond.

As long as you don’t want much in the way of manual features, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 is a very nice camera that can handle a variety of shooting situations.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 Review at DC Resource

April 2, 2009 By Eric Reagan

DC Resource has posted a review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3.

Image quality was very good in most respects. The DMC-ZS3 takes well-exposed photos, without a lot of highlight clipping that’s common on compact cameras (you’ll still encounter it, though).

Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 Reviews

Steve’s Digicams

Our indoor image samples show the same great exposure and color, as well as a crisp image from edge to edge. ISO 400 is the first time noise appears in the image. Even then, the level is acceptable and will not be noticed in prints of 8×10 or larger.
