Just want to add a comment about the microphone location of the camera. As both a sound engineer and a music professional, its been considered wiser for a general use responsibility to have microphones on top with an omnidirectional pickup over unidirectional focal pickup because of tolerance for wind. Having a mic up top eliminates the problem of shooting "into the wind." It is better for general use ergonomics.

@Dr4gondice This camera is a "point and shoot" camera. It is geared specifically for the person who wants to take a digital picture by turning it on, and pressing a single button, and MAYBE zooming in or out. The camera is amazing for its price range, and ease of use. This is a great buy for anyone who is not a professional, who is not using a camera for professional zoom and manual focus. It is amazing - ABSOLUTELY AMAZING - for what you get for the price.

How is the video quality on this? Am looking for a good camera under 150 to take in airports and on flights...I have a DSLR for bigger stuff normally but I want something relatively small and discreet to use.

Wow you are like a Camera guru, thanks for the review =)
I wonder if this camera can take pictures quickly, i mean while walking just snap and it becomes alright not blurry? I dont know what that feature is called but that alot is very important for me ^^
Again, thanks Jason!

@Dr4gondice It's decent, but nothing is as good as a DSLR or micro-four thirds camera.

EXCELLENT review Jason! I'm in the market for this or similar camera, and you have swayed me even closer to buying it. Thanks.

@Ballenxj I'm glad you liked the review, but the ZS3 is over a year old now and has been replaced by newer models...you'll want to check the Panasonic site for more details.
