 Panasonic TZ3 review at PhotographyBLOG : DIWA member Mark Goldstein from PhotographyBLOG has reviewed the Panasonic Lumix TZ3 Megazoom compact camera. The Panasonic TZ3 features a Leica DC Vario-Elmar lens that comprises 11 elements in nine groups, including an ED (extra-low dispersion) lens and three aspherical lenses. This advanced lens unit passes Leica’s stringent standards and delivers an exceptional optical performance. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3 incorporates a 1/2.35-inch CCD with a total of 8.50 Megapixels. This CCD, which is larger than those in conventional 7 Megapixel class cameras, can reproduce images shot with the lens set 28mm to 280mm in any of three aspect ratios - 4:3, 3:2 or 16:9.

 Panasonic Lumix TZ3 - Macro photo
According to Mark Goldstein: "The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3 dealt extremely well with chromatic aberrations, with very limited purple fringing effects appearing only in high contrast situations. The built-in flash worked well indoors, with very little red-eye and good exposure. The night photograph was good, with the maximum shutter speed of 60 seconds allowing you to capture plenty of light. Macro performance is average, allowing you to focus as close as 5 cms away from the subject."
Panasonic TZ3 camera - Resolution and Noise
Mark continues: "The 1/2.35 inch, 7.2 Megapixel sensor used in the Panasonic DMC-TZ3 produces noise-free images at ISO 100 and 200, with ISO 400 also looking quite good. ISO 800 does have easily visible noise and ISO 1250 is best avoided at all costs, but overall this is an improvement on the DMC-TZ1 and the previous generation of Panasonic compacts. The new High Sensitivity mode extends the ISO range to 3200 and allows you to freeze subject movement effectively, but does so by significantly blurring detail and increasing noise (so much so that the image is virtually unusable)."

About PhotographyBLOG
Mark Goldstein started his very active website PhotographyBLOG in January 2003. At first the one and only purpose was to let this site function as one of those popular web logs with Photography as main topic. But as we all know Photography is a pretty big subject to publish about so Mark decided to focus on some hot key points like mentioning all new introductions, reviews, reports from events like PMA and Photokina, sharing some impressive and creative photos and Mark's sole perspective of his feeling about this fascinating world of Digital Imaging. Mark is based in the UK, but his eagle-eye focuses global.
