First Panasonic FZ3 pics

[Lionheart]

These aren't the best photos because I was just trying out the camera. Straight out of the box after charging battery on auto. I just wanted to see what the camera could do before reading the manual or trying to get a good pic. I was pleasantly surprised - for a $270 camera with IS and Leica lens. On PSE I changed image size, cropped and sharpened once.

Wow. These look great. $270, wow. My patient coordinator has been hinting at getting a digital camera for her birthday next month and I have been looking for something in the Canon lineup, but this one looks really great.Thanks for posting and sharing. I've got a new lead to follow for a birthday gift.
You know, Panasonic makes really great products, from audio, video and now computers and cameras. I'm really happy with my Panasonic CF-W2 laptop. It's 2.6 lbs., gets a minimum of 4 hours of life even with a wireless card and CD drive in use, and I've gotten 8 hours of life in the car with a GPS attached. And now I see that they make great cameras too.

Thanks......

It's that Leica 420mm Lens! ;)

BTW, I got mine at Circuit City online - the $270 includes the $30 gift certificate for purchasing by phone after checking online. Otherwise their price is $300 after a $50 rebate. However, you can get the camera for about $300 elsewhere. The rebate is stricly Circuit City.
