Love this camera!! [Posted on 2007-05-19] Bought this camera about a year ago and have been happy ever since! Takes very clear pictures and great little videos. Only complaint is the cheesy little attached lens cover...it's sort of funny to have the little plastic cover on such a nice camera. Other than the cover we love it!!
LZ3, AN ALMOST AWSOME LITTLE CAMERA [Posted on 2007-06-01] The Panasonic DMC-LZ3, my first digital camera, is a complete photo lab in small box. Photos can be cropped, subjects centered, file resized and I don't know what else (keep the operating instructions handy). Your pictures can be shown immediately on a TV with the video plug-in cable. It can be hard to get a good view on the screen in glary light; I've wished for the old eye viewer. I've even just held the camera up and had to guess that what I wanted was on the screen and usually came out OK.
BUT;
After 9 months of carefull use, and toted in a padded case, in one series of shooting I noticed that the lens cover was not closing when I turned the camera off but the lens would still come out and take pictures when turned back on. Fiddling with the cover got it to close but then it wouldn't open when turned on and of oourse could take no pictures that way. It went on to where the lens would not even stay out. A call for help got me through a check list and reset effort to no avail and then authorization to send the camera in for warantee repair. The camera was back in 2 weeks working like a charm. How long will it last now?
I am jealous! [Posted on 2007-06-15] My daughter got this camera for her 9th birthday and may I just say I am pea green with envy! It takes the most clear, color rich pictures I have seen! She is currently taking photography classes and is entered in 4H as well. It is easy enough for her to use, yet the pictures have the clarity that it makes you wonder if it is not a professional camera. My parents picked this up a few months back at Office Depot and for 1 day only it was less than $90! Wish I would have gotten one for myself!
Great Compact Camera [Posted on 2007-09-24] Took this gem to London/Paris this past april...it lasted two weeks on the battery which despite the bad rap on battery usage I found this to be great. I got wonderful photos and am very pleased with the camera. The controls are easy to work and this camera does do short videos also, which was an added benefit.
Save Your Money [Posted on 2007-11-13] I purchased one last year and thought it was great, then this past May 2007, I purchased 2 more. One broke just outside of the 90 day labor warranty and Panasonic wants $95 flat fee to fix it, of course that doesn't include parts since that is still under warranty. The original one, which is now about 18 months old will only take indoor pictures. For some reason, as soon as you try to take an outside one, the camera goes black. The indoor pictures have lines all throughout the picutes. This one is out of warranty all together. The only one left is one of the two purchased in May. If I were able to get a refund I would. The picture quality on this camera is getting terrible. No matter what setting I have it on, they pictures look great on the computer, but if I get them printed out, or I print them out, they are grainy. Do not waste your money on this camera!!! I would never buy a Pansonic again!
