Reviewer: Terri Powers - UK
The menus on this camera I have found to be very easy to use, it is also small enough to carry around but at the same time it feels good to hold, solid. It is quick to power up and this, coupled with the image stabilisation, means that I have been able to take some pics that I normally miss. For me, this was a good choice because I do not have to make any manual decisions, there is plenty of choice in the pre-selected options. I only really want to point and shoot at this stage.

I am very pleased that I finally decided to buy a LZ3. It was not expensive but gives good results and offers enough features for me.
It is flexible and I have found that it gives me consistently good results in a variety of situations. Battery life is good and the zoom is great.
