Panasonic's Lumix DMC-ZS3S has a special feature: it records HD movies (1280 x 720 pixels) with sound, and you can zoom in and out as you shoot. Then you can view your creation via a HDMI port directly onto a HDTV. With its intelligent auto mode, the DMC-ZS3S will do all the work, selecting the best scene mode and focus for the clearest, brightest pictures and movies. The 10.1 megapixel sensor and 12X optical zoom LEICA DC Vario-Elmar lens lets you make prints up to 16x20in. It's easy to see what you are shooting with the large 3.0 LCD display, just pick a scene mode, or let the face recognition feature pick the focus, take your shot and save to SD/SDHC memory cards.
