The Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZC3 as it is know in North America, or Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ7 as it is know in other places, was ranked third in the point and shot category by Digital Camera Info web site.
The DMC-ZC3 will shot high definition movies in either the AVCHD format, which was developed jointly by Panasonic and Sony, or the more tradition Motion JPEG format. The AVCHD format in new and most software designed to work with video files should quickly adopt it. The AVCHD format advantage is a more compact file size, which mean you can make longer movies that use less space and battery power that the same movie made in Motion JPEG. The DMC-ZC3 camera allow zooming in and out while the movie is being made, and the sound is in stero.
