Back in March last year I reviewed the then-new Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ2. It was one of a pair of models being promoted by Panasonic as the ideal travel cameras, tough and versatile with 28-280mm-equivalent 10x zoom lenses.
The TZ2 is a six-megapixel model, and I assumed that it would be more popular than its more expensive sibling, the 7.2-megapixel TZ3, so beset as usual by too many cameras and not enough time, I neglected to review that model. It turns out I was wrong though; the TZ3 has been much more popular than the TZ2, and I’ve had a number of people ask me to review it, so nearly a year late and probably just in time for it to be replaced by the TZ5, here at long last is my review of the Panasonic TZ3.When it was launched, the TZ3 was in the vanguard of what is now becoming a whole new sector of the digital camera market, the high-zoom compact. Unfortunately it wasn’t the first one to find that particular niche though, since it is already occupied by the people who invented it; Ricoh.
