Review on 📷 Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS3S: 8MP Digital Camera with 3x MEGA Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Silver) - Enhance Your Photography with Panasonic's Lumix by Elena Bryant

I had a larger Lumix DMC-FZ7 6MP 36-432mm @ f2.8-3.3 that I bought a few years ago and am very happy with it. Wanting a smaller version in my travel bag, I chose the DMC-FS3 8MP 33-100mm f2.8-f5.1. I am pleased. It has the same intuitive, easy-to-navigate menu that's even better than my older model, and a high-quality Lumix lens. I was surprised at how many features this very small camera has, only missing a few things that my other camera lacks, along with a shorter zoom and smaller f5.1 aperture at 100mm compared to the FZ7 f3.3 at 432 mm, but for that I don't mind much for portability. I can carry it in my pocket it's so small. The only downside I've encountered is that the flash isn't that powerful. They should be within 10 to 12 feet, but that's true for most small cameras in this price range, and even the more expensive small ones. The image stabilization is amazing and takes pictures even in low light and at full zoom. It also has many "scenes" settings for the beginner. Burst mode is fast and great for portrait shots, almost guaranteeing a good shot of friends. You can't go wrong with this camera.
