Description
The DMC-SZ3 boasts a powerful 10x optical zoom lens. This gives you highly natural expressions from people and animals that you can't get close to. And its slim, stylish body can easily go wherever you go - for both everyday snapshots and traveling.
The 25 mm ultra wide-angle lens has about twice the shooting area as a standard 35 mm lens. This enhances all kinds of shooting situations, like when you're photographing a group of people at an indoor party or shooting a large structure or sweeping landscape while traveling.
