Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ3 Review

CNET have published their video review and normal review of the new 5 megapixel Panasonic Lumix LZ3 - it features a 6x optical zoom lens with image stabilisation, a 2" screen, and replaces the Panasonic LZ1/LZ2 which I reviewed here:

"The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ3 sits at the bottom of Panasonic's line of midrange, 6X-zoom point-and-shoot cameras; its 5-megapixel resolution and smaller screen are all that separate it from its more expensive 6-megapixel sibling, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ5. Both incorporate the same 37mm-to-222mm (35mm-equivalent) Leica lens, optical image stabilization, and numerous ways to control image capture. The DMC-LZ3 fares moderately well in bright environments, but poor performance and average photo quality lessen the allure of this attractively priced model."
