Summary: Those are the major differences between the three models. The only other thing I want to mention about that table is that the ZS1 and ZS3 actually use different sensors. The ZS1's is 10.3 million total pixels, while the ZS3's has 12.7 million

Conclusion: I think it's safe to say that Panasonic is going to sell a lot of Lumix DMC-ZS3 cameras. They've done a nice job improving on the TZ5, though I'm not really sold on the AVCHD Lite codec. A lot of people have been comparing the DMC-ZS3 to Canon's...

Pro : Very good photo quality ; Packs a 12X, 25 - 300 mm lens into a small, well-built package ; Optical image stabilization ; Very little barrel distortion ; Stunning 3-inch LCD display with excellent resolution and outdoor / low light visibility ; Snappy...

Cons : Images have a grainy appearance, even at lowest ISOs; still some smudging of low contrast detail ; AVCHD Lite codec makes video sharing and editing a chore (though you don't have to use it); no video viewer/editor for Mac OS included ; Can't adjust...

Summary: This camera's powerful zoom lens and features are great for casual shooters looking for versatility and oomph.

Conclusion: A zoom range like that isn't very useful if image stabilization doesn't come with it, and the Lumix DMC-ZS3 has top-notch optical stabilization. The camera is downright shake-proof, providing crystal-clear images even when I shook it around at full zoom

Pro : 12x optical zoom ; Great HD video options ; Can zoom in video mode

Cons : Lack of manual settings ; Mode dial is finicky

Summary: The Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 packs a lot of features into its small case: 1 0-megapixel resolution, a 12x zoom and high definition video capture. And we found that it has the performance to match this feature set, with sharp images and accurate color

Conclusion: The camera itself is small enough to fit into a pocket, but it is a little chunky at 1.29 inches deep. It fits well into the hand, and the shutter and zoom controls fall tight under the index finger when it is held in one hand. The metal skin of the...

Summary: The Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 packs a lot of features into its small case: 10-megapixel resolution, a 12x zoom and high definition video. And we found that it has the performance to match, with sharp, colorful images and video.

Conclusion: The Panasonic Lumix DMC--ZS3 provides a lot of performance for the price: we found that the 10-megapixel images it captured were generally very good, with plenty of detail and accurate color. The same was true of the video it captured, with the 720p...
