The PhotographyBlog reviewed the DMZ-TZ3.

Quote from the review:
" The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3 is just a simple point and shoot camera in terms of creativity, with no control over aperture or shutter speeds, which is surely to prevent the TZ3 from treading on the toes of its bigger brothers, the FZ series of ultra-zoom cameras. Once you've tried the TZ3 though, you may find that the combination of focal range and compact dimensions is simply too liberating to ignore. Read more

Topic:

LetsGoDigital reviews the Panasonic Lumix DMC-L1 DSLR camera, which Panasonic introduced earlier this year.

Quote from the review:
"All in all, I took quite a liking to the Panasonic Lumix DMC-L1. It certainly is a cheeky camera with a number of equally cheeky quirks. If Panasonic manage to deal with these small issues, they will without question have a winner in hands. The challenge that Panasonic face is that they are yet to build their reputation as a DSLR manufacturer. "

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ30 Review

Topic:

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ30 is the newest generation of Panasonic’s highly-regarded line-up of mega zoom cameras.

With 8 megapixel resolution, a 12x Leica optical zoom and built-in optical image stabilization, this digicam is a decent alternative for those looking for D-SLR features but don’t want the hassle of interchangeable lenses plus they’d like the ability to view a live image on a 2-inch LCD screen and take short videos. The DMC-FZ30 feels very much like D-SLR yet costs a lot less—especially when you budget the cost of lenses that would equal this focal range (a hefty 35-420mm in 35mm terms).
