nThe Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3 is a compact 7-megapixel digicam with a 10x zoom, a large 3-inch LCD and optical image stabilization.

I’m all for mega zoom cameras. With zooms ranging from 10x up to 18x these cameras offer tremendous shooting options for shutterbugs. Want to bring your subject close? The telephoto does it for you. And since they’re much lighter than any D-SLR with a long zoom lens they’re a breeze to carry around. As an added bonus they cost a heck of a lot less. What could be wrong with that? Plenty as D-SLRs are much more responsive and due to their larger imaging devices deliver bigger prints with much less digital noise. Still you can’t beat the portability of a camera like the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3, a compact 7-megapixel digicam with a 10x zoom, a large 3-inch LCD and optical image stabilization.
