"As a novice, I find the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ3S Digital camera very easy to use. Good picture quality. Easy to transfer pictures from PC to camera and visa versa. Included PC software is functional, but minimal. Would have appreciated camera case, but none was included."

""Outstanding camera for the price! The zoom is awesome and this thing has better quality than cameras twice the cost. The video is great for a camera and the sound is very good too. It sips batteries. A set will last a very long time.

It's loaded with features. The drawback is that it has few controls that work the many features. I wouldn't consider it user friendly for a novice. Being experienced, I sometimes find it a tad frustrating.

The other drawback is that the On/Off switch tends to malfunction and it occasionally turns itself on. I needed to buy an electronic cleanng solution which cured the problem but still is needed from time to time.

I recommend buying rechargeable batteries and a card reader to make the experience even more pleasureable." "
