Product Description

 
The ZS3 / TZ7 is the world’s first digital camera to feature HD video recording in “AVCHD Lite”. Compared with the conventional Motion JPEG format, AVCHD Lite allows longer recordings with breathtaking HD visual and audio quality. This combined with a well-considered control interface, which includes a dedicated movie recording button on the camera’s back panel, makes the ZS3 a hybrid model that performs admirably for both still and motion image capture.

Review: I searched extensively for weeks looking for a compact digital camera which could produce both wide angle shots AND capture high definition video. After narrowing it down to really only two that were out there (the other was a Canon SX200), I opted...

Outstanding compact zoom

Date of Review:  Aug 22, 2009
The Bottom Line: Buy it and you will be satisfied.
