Panasonic LUMIX S3 review

Aimed at beginners, the Panasonic Lumix S3 has a 14.1MP sensor and 4x optical zoom that covers 28-112mm. Not as broad as some, it does feature the more effective optical image stabiliser to reduce camera shake. There's a 2.7in LCD screen and 720p HD video recording too. The S3 is a good-looking camera: its curved exterior and high-gloss finish works well, though the lightweight plastic feel lets it down. The S3 can be operated with one hand if you wish - the rear buttons are located to the right of the LCD panel and make the camera very simple to use thanks to their raised finish and sensible layout. Image quality isn't as good as that of others here, as image noise is an issue at higher ISO settings. As well as Auto mode, there are six Scene modes that include Macro, Night and Portrait. In summary, the Panasonic Lumix S3 is a solid option. The specification and image quality may not be the best but it's nevertheless a good all-round entry-level compact.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-S3

Panasonic's Lumix DMC-S3 could be nicknamed \"The little camera that could.” Despite a moderate price point ($129.99 direct) and a modest feature set, the camera takes good 14-megapixel photos and HD video. Its images aren't the sharpest, but in real-world situations they do capture a fair amount of detail without displaying evidence of heavy-handed noise reduction. In addition, the camera comes with a nice LCD and is slim enough to slide into your pocket. The S3 isn't without flaws, particularly when it comes to video recording, but those aren't enough to keep it from being our new Editors' Choice for budget cameras. Design and FeaturesThe S3 is impressively small, measuring just 2.3 by 3.9 by 0.8 inches (HWD) and weighing in at 4.1 ounces. Our review unit was finished in black, but fashionistas will be happy to know it is also available in violet, purple, red, and silver. It's almost identical in size and weight to the Samsung ES80 ($99.99, 3 stars), a camera with very similar features. The camera's On/Off button and shutter release are located on its top, with all other controls on the rear to the right of its 230k-dot 2.7-inch LCD.
