I am thinking of buying this camera because I want a purse/pocket size camera with a good zoom.

I enjoy general photography whilst on holiday but also take indoor family shots, flowers, birds and butterflies.

With a new granddaughter I will look forward to taking movies for the first time.

Are users happy with the camera and its results?

You should go check the DPreview Discussion Forum / Panasonic talk

, then search for tz7 and/or zs3, there is a lot of feedback there.

Steve's posted a review today.

Hate to send you to another site, but there's a nice thread here from a new TZ7 owner, with pics:

Thank you, I will go and check these out.

Shame the Panasonic sub forum is so quiet on here.
