Digital camera Review: A delight to use!
Summary: 4 Stars
The red of the Panasonic ZS3 is eye-catching and lovely, but without being ostentatious or showy, something I was worried about. The camera was slightly heavier than I expected, but when I used both hands to hold the camera and frame the shot, it felt perfect in my hands. The color quality is pretty stunning, although watch out for difficulty getting your colors true-to-life in subway stations and the like. The LCD screen is beautiful with accurate colors. Noise in the pictures is a problem when zoomed in too far, but shouldn't be a problem.
The camera takes about 3 seconds to start up. There is a dedicated switch to review/shoot, which distracted me at first, but is not difficult to get used to. The factory settings for the shutter click etc. were unpleasant, but I found it relatively simple to navigate the menus the first time time and set it to my liking, and every time I use the menus, I find it easier and easier. I mostly keep my camera set on iA (intelligent auto), but I like knowing that it is not my only option. When shooting slow-ups, manually switching to macro worked better for me than intelligent macro, and so it does take some playing with, but don't forget that it is play!
All in all, I love having a camera again. It's not perfect, but it is a lot of fun.
Don't forget to get a case for it, though, or you will be too nervous to carry it all of the places that a small, charming camera should be carried. I also recommend a screen protector (to guard against fingerprints), extra memory (no SD cards are included) and an extra battery for full use of your new gadget.
Much luck, and happy shooting!
