AVCHD format - beautiful HD images, extended shooting time
The Z3S records HD motion images at a smooth 60 frames per second with 1280 x 720-pixel resolution. It uses the AVCHD (MPEG-4/H.264) format, via AVCHD Lite, which stores less data than other formats and thus lets you shoot more minutes of HD motion images before running out of memory.

Stereo Mic
The world's first compact camera to feature Dolby® sound, the ZS3 records dynamic, true-to-life audio that brings out the power of the HD images. (Dolby is a trademark of Dolby Laboratories).

Wind cut function
Minimizes the distracting sound you hear from wind blowing into the mic.

YouTube™ Uploader
This software (included with the camera) makes it easy to upload your video clips to YouTube™.
(YouTube is a trademark of Google Inc.)

HDMI output and VIERA Link
The ZS3 is equipped with an HDMI output terminal for direct transmission of digital picture and sound signals. Just connect the camera to an HDTV using a single HDMI mini cable (purchased separately), and it's easy to view beautiful HD photos and motion images. If you have a VIERA HDTV, you can control the camera's playback functions with VIERA's remote control unit. (HDMI, High-Definition Multimedia Interface are trademarks of HDMI Licensing LLC).

iA mode, for beautiful photos and movies - automatically
Just set the camera to iA mode, aim and shoot. The camera does all the rest. It automatically determines the most suitable Scene mode and helps correct blurring, focus, and brightness problems. With iA mode, it's easy to get beautiful, clear results. *In the ZS3, iA mode cannot be used when shooting motion images.

25mm wide-angle LEICA DC VARIO-ELMAR lens with 12x optical zoom
The ZS3 packs a LEICA DC VARIO-ELMAR lens with 12x optical zoom into a compact body. This versatile photographic tool lets you shoot everything from sweeping vistas at the 25mm wide-angle setting to dynamic 300mm telephoto shots. And the lens system's exquisite rendering ability lets you capture even the subtle nuances of the sights and scenes in your travels.

first digital camera, initial impression

"I finally bought a digital, after years of fighting it. This past summer I gave my 8 year old daughter a Casio Exilim EX-Z29 and was rather surprised at the image quality ,while I would not rate it as "great" it was at least good to very good for my viewing purposes. I then realized it is easier to go thru airport security since I always carry many roles of film and have to be careful with the scanner. So here I..." Read Full Review »

Not a travel camera

"This camera is great until you travel. It is not resilient to most weather or travel conditions. This camera moisture protection is terrible. The knobs on top are loose and it makes you wonder if they got the camera out to the public before thinking. Don't depend on this camera if you are going to do any challenging travel. Don't get close to any moisture period...." Read Full Review »
