 High Hopes Dashed by Bizarre Skin Tones on Any Setting... August 29, 2010
Luvamoose67 (Carolina, RI USA)
I purchased this camera in 2009, before a trip to Disney World. The camera handled beautifully and the battery life was great considering I took approximately 3000 pictures on our trip. Upon returning home and uploading the pictures to my iMac, I was surprised to see an odd grey cast to the skin in nearly every photo of my family. (Having them printed produced the same grey cast-- even directly from the SD card.) I put it down to user error, even though I have been an avid photographer since childhood, taking photography classes and developing my one prints for years-- years ago. I checked out the camera settings, read the manual again and tried custom settings, rather than the "heart" (auto) setting. No better. Sometimes worse. Pictures from a winter trip to NYC and Central Park were downright bizarre, so I discussed it with the photo person at the store where the prints were made and she suggested adjusting it (for the life of me I can no longer remember in which way) and the grey tones came out, my children looked great. (BTW, they both have lighter toned Caucasian skin, just for clarity). Again and again I have blamed myself, even though the 2 digitals I had before this purchase (which I replaced due to simply wearing one out or looking for newer features and better mp size) both provided me with stunningly clear, naturally colored photos, even with a 3.1 mp camera!! I was surprised to notice one other poor review mentioned another odd photo occurance-- an almost painted look on the faces of some of the people. No settings were adjusted. It is on factory settings. But the faces have an almost penciled in look at the eyes and at smile lines. Creepily strange. Occurs about 1/3 of the time.
I was very excited to purchase this Panasonic DMC-TZ3 and did my research beforehand, checking review after review. When I make my next PAS camera purchase, it will be somewhere that I can return it within 30-60 days or so and I will no longer blame myself when the auto setting produces such oddly tinted photos. Nothing is perfect, and I must say this camera certainly has not helped me preserve my memories for the last year and half, for despite the fact that I have uploaded more than 35,000 digital photos to my iPhoto in the time since I bought it, the fact that I must continually go in and adjust photos before being able to print them is ridiculous and time consuming.
If you consider purchasing this camera, by all means give it a thorough run through before your return period is up. It enlarges photos beautifully, so as long as skin tones and colors are accurate, takes quite good action photos on the sports/high burst setting and the video was very good. You may enjoy this camera very much, just try it first.
 if you are taking pictures indoors SKIP THIS CAMERA May 4, 2010

I have had this camera for a few years now and i am just your average person taking pictures of my child. This camera takes the WORST pictures indoors. If the lighting is low, even with a flash the picture will be washed out or too dark. Outside the pictures are lovely. This camera doesn't take black and white (or if it does i didn't figure out how)
everything else about this camera is great. Solid construction, easy to use, battery life is great... but the pictures taken inside are AWFUL. If you are going to spend [...] bucks on a camera get a DSLR
 Excellent camera, dreadful charger April 7, 2010
Manuel Daponte (San Juan, PR USA)
The camera is excellent, with very good picture quality during daytime (so-so night pictures) and a wonderful zoom.
The battery charger is a piece of crap. Supposedly, it works with 110 or 220 volts, as it says in its label. When I traveled to Europe last year, I used the charger there and it started to indicate that the battery was loaded without loading it. Now, back in my 110 volts' rural county, always will tell that the battery is fully loaded only to later discover that is false. First I suspected that the battery was the culprit, so I bought a new one... Now I know the truth :'(
Also the battery compartment is problematic. There's a sliding switch to close the compartment and (I think) also closes the electrical circuit. Sometimes, it won't easily work and the camera won't start or turn off suddenly.
I will search for a camera that uses Double-A batteries, so if I suddenly discover that the charger screw up, I can buy a pack of batteries anywhere and solve the situation.
What I don't know is what to do with my Lumix: follow my heart and throw it to the trash bin, or buy a new charger (about $20 a cheap copy... but, hey, it can't be worst than the original).
Any recommendations?

I have had this camera for over a year now and I still love it.
It might not be as small as some of the cameras you see but this one has more stability when you shoot your pictures.
It is small enough it goes in my pcoket..
The zoom feature at10X is excellent. I have taken some wonderful pictures with this camera..
I read a number of reviews before I bought this camera and they were all so favorable. This is one time you can really believe the reviews...
 Great camera, easily broken. November 28, 2009

I love this camera. I bought it over a year and a half about from another website and paid $280. Why is it now $500 everywhere I look? I used this camera all the time, though I have to say it was a bit heavy and not nearly thin enough to keep in my purse.
I am highly disappointed with Amazon's and many other online retailer's price with this camera. $500 is absolutely ridiculous considering I paid almost HALF of that over a year and a half ago. It's a great camera, I'll give you that, but I think you can get similar quality with another brand and newer model.
I am most disappointed with it's short life. It worked great while I had it until I had it on my tripod. I knocked it over on the CARPET and it dropped in slow motion. It barely hit the ground and managed to jam the lens in. I did every suggestion online. I even took the camera and lens apart. It won't budge. It's $160 to fix so I thought it'd be the same price to buy a new one. It's not.
My conclusion? It's a great camera, but not worth this "new" price. The fact that the lens jammed this easily was a shock, and even more of a shock that this camera costs TWICE what I paid for it OVER A YEAR AND A HALF AGO!!!
