The ultra-compact DMC-TZ3 boasts a 28mm wide-angle LEICA DC VARIO-ELMAR lens with 10x optical zoom power. With the wide-angle lens, you can get all your friends in the picture or capture an expansive landscape in a single shot. And with the high-power optical zoom, you can get clear, beautiful shots even when you can't get close to your subject. The 15x Extra Optical Zoom feature gives you even greater zoom power.The Intelligent Image Stabilizer automatically prevents blurring. MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) suppresses the effects of hand-shake, so you get vibrantly colored shots of the remarkable landscapes you find when traveling, in all their natural beauty, even when zooming. Intelligent ISO Control suppresses the blurring that can occur when your subject moves, such as when you're photographing an animal in the wild. This powerful blur-minimizing system combines with the high-resolution 7.2-megapixel image sensor and high-performance Venus Engine III image processor to give you beautiful photos of places and events you want to remember forever.When you're traveling, the newly enhanced Scene Mode makes it easier than ever to capture beautiful shots you'll remember forever.

Shooting is even more fun when you can view the photos right on the spot.
