Panasonic created a winner in the point and shoot "zoom" category with the Lumix DMC-TZ5. Just about one year later, they have given us the Lumix DMC-ZS1 and the DMC-ZS3. (In the European market they are known as the TZ6 and TZ7 respectively. Am I alone in thinking that continuing the "TZ" brand would make more logical sense? And why is there no ZS2?)
This article will compare the Lumix ZS1 and ZS3.
Panasonic Lumix Dmc Zs3
Beginning with the basic specifications that are identical in both cameras:
10.1 Megapixels
12x Zoom Range (25-300mm)
Optical Image Stabilization
80-6400 ISO Range
27 Scene Modes with Intelligent Auto
Image Quality rated highest among Digital Compacts with similar features (DPReview.com)The features that are different (ZS1 vs ZS3):
LCD - 2.7" (230k resolution) vs 3.0" (460k)
Image Sensor - 1/2.5" vs 1/2.33"
Video - 848x480 30fps video w/mono sound vs 720p 60fps video w/stereo soundThese 3 features add just over 0 to the price tag for the ZS3. Yet, in spite of the extra $$$, the Lumix ZS3 is outselling its ZS1 cousin by a large margin. Why??
