Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3PU-K 10.1 Megapixel

I like the build quality of the ZS3, the large/clear LCD and its outdoor results. Like its predecessor TZ3 this is NOT expected to give you end-to-end clear and illuminated pictures once you go indoors using "forced" flash (as opposed to using "intelligent auto" which inhibits some flash intensity) even though the camera behaves well as far as a non-slr response time. As a complement to another camera that is dedicated to shoot indoors, this ZS3 shines in its own way. You will appreciate the sturdiness and solid build in your fingers,the good looking black metal. Battery update issue becomes less and less of a hassle as many vendors from China start to provide affordable (version 1.2)replacement for the BCG10pp. If you expect a huge performance over the TZ3 to shoot nice in-doors photos, think again. But for some level of video shooting and a good build overall, this is "very" recommended(barely so); i.e. a sort of gem that might impress friends. I would rate it to be equal to the Sony DSC W290 series for indoor shootings; but that's only me.
