Panasonic Lumix DMC-S3 prices and specs
The Lumix DMC-S3 was released on Jan 5, 2011. For today the lowest price for the device is $99.95
The Lumix DMC-S3 is a point and shoot camera. Its main advantage is a small size: the photographer can take it anywhere with himself easily. The Lumix DMC-S3 is equipped with various automatic modes but you won't make pictures of the same perfect quality in comparison to DSLR cameras.
The camera can make photos at 14 megapixels max resolution. But for better photo quality the more important thing is a sensor size. The Lumix DMC-S3 has a 1/2.33' (6.08 x 4.56 mm) sensor which means that the Lumix DMC-S3 will take photos with a lower quality than cameras with larger sensors but instead it has more portable size. But if you want to capture photos of the professional quality pay attention to Leica Q (Typ 116).
The Lumix DMC-S3 has max shutter speed of 1/1600 sec. It is not very fast shutter speed but anyway you will be able to shoot photos of moving objects. The photographer will be able to capture HD videos that guarantees a satisfactory image quality.
The lens is fixed and the photographer can't switch it. The lens has 4x optical zoom.
The Lumix DMC-S3 battery life will be enough to shoot approximately 250 photos.
