What is the difference between the ZX3 and ZX5??
194285
The ZX3 has a removable battery and is not shockproof. ZX5 has an internal (non removable) battery and is shockproof. There are some other minor differences such as video recording formats but that is the main difference. Hope that helps.

Greetings, I have both cameras, they are actually both GREAT! Some random thoughts: I like the ZS3 25mm wide views. The Sony's battery last longer. I like the SD card of the Pana. The Pana is thinner and a bit easier to carry. This is VERY subjective - the Sony video is slightly sharper. Small sound of the motor when zooming the pana video. Both cameras have tac sharp pictures. It's a hard one because both are so good.

I dont believe it would be better, the Zs25 has more megapixles and little wider lens

Ninan, I have the ZS3 and love it. I reviewed the H20 and it lacks a few things. Most notably, the lens only goes to 38mm on the wide end compared the the ZS3 which goes all the out to 25mm. That was enough for me to rule out the H20, so I don't know much more about it.I'd suggest going to the Panasonic global website at www.panasonic.net/avc/lumix and checking out their info on the ZS3. It is amazing.Then go to youtube and search for "tz7 night restaurant" and "20090514 ZS3 Sample Videos" to see some examples of the video and zoom. (note the ZS3 is known as the TZ7 in Europe).

The LX3 is a completely different kind of camera from those tiny sensor megazoom cameras. On the other hand, the image quality difference between the LX3 and the Canon G10 (with 6x zoom) is very slim. The Panasonic does have a faster lens, which is very useful in low light situations. However, the wide-angle-only zoom range will turn off a lot of people.

I don't know Z5. It can pan up and down by removing a bolt. The downward pan range is not quite 90 degrees (i.e., straight down).

Hello:The only difference between both is the color. The zs40k model is black and the zs40 corresponds to the silver one. Both have the same price tag but different color.

Sorry,I do not know the difference. I actually bought the GC5 short but they sent the GC3short saying that it is the same as the GC5.I use sram grip shifters and the GC3 fits perfectly.

I really can't give a specific answer for the X 55. but I have the X 52 Pro and am well pleased with the sensitivity. Also you can get a paid version of the FS4UIPC and that opens up a lot of options in FSX for all controllers. Sorry I cant be more specific, but if it is as good as the X 52 Pro, and has dual throttle functions, may be worth the price difference. Also the X 55 requires 2 free usb ports while the X 52 requires only one. The x 52 Stick connects to the throttle and the throttle connects to usb.

Looks pretty close but from my quick search the VX3 is model #V1950 and this one is #V1930. Beyond that, I don't see much difference.

XS is a 6 year old product. T3i is three generations ahead of it. T3 is a much better and faster camera than Xsi. The processor and sensor are much much faster than the previous generation products. If you can shell out, just go for T2i. You will get much better low light performance.

The Z1S has an LTE radio, while the Z1 Compact does not. The Z1S has bigger screen and higher resolution display (5 inches @ 1080 x 1920) than the Z1 Compact (4.3 inches @ 720 x 1280). Other than that, they have pretty much the same specs.

The T5 uses older technology and will have fewer features and lower performance than the T5i. The T5 is the "budget" model. (If it was a car, the T5 would not have air conditioning, a CD player, power breaks, power steering or a built-in GPS)

There are no picture quality differences between the XBR4 and XBR5, or last year's XBR2 and XBR3, for that matter. The only differences are cosmetic and added controls for customized installations on the "5". Also, the XBR5's are sold through a quite limited network of dealers. At list, they are a couple of hundred dollars more, but they are less likely to be discounted so you'll be paying significantly more for little. Go to esupport.sony.com and check the owner's manuals for the various sets .. you'll see that the XBR4's and 5's share the same manual.

I was all set to buy the SX200 and have been a die-hard Canon fan for many years, but I am not ready to dismiss the ZS3. Yes the camaralabs.com review (http://www.cameralabs.com/reviews/Panasonic_Lumix_DMC_TZ7_ZS3/index.shtml) talks about the focus issue on the ZS3 but overall the review is very favorable and it is unclear whether it is an issue in all situations or just the challenging scene in the sample video. Furthermore the Canon SX200 not only does not zoom during video, but auto focus is disabled altogether in this mode. I think I would rather have my focus hunt a little than go completely out of focus as the subject moves.

From what I have found the DMC-ZS30 is the USA Version of the DMC-TZ40. I am considering this camera just haven't made my mind up yet. Thanks to those who posted about the language issues with the camera menus.
