So I got the Panasonic DMC-TZ3 for my birthday, which was July 10th!
It does take decent pictures, but they do seem a little feathery when you zoom in. My old Canon S200 seemed to take sharper pics, but this difference isn’t noticeable unless you zoom in. Here’s two sample pics of a sunrise up at the lake.
The camera does have an incredible zoom, 10x, for its size. The first pic is of the sunrise without zooming, the second is a full zoom:
I got the camera on NewEgg.com for less than $300, and a 4GB SDHC card for $38, it also came with a free 1GB card, but I felt that it would be too small for extended trips.
