I received the ZS7 (red) this week from Amazon. The box says: Box contains: Digital Camera Unit Battery Pack Battery Case Battery Charger AV Cable USB Connection Cable CD-ROM Hand Strap Operating Instructions The "battery case" is just a bit of plastic and I almost threw it out--I'm not sure what the purpose is. I think it's just to add another line item on the box. ;o) Some people have mistakenly said that this includes an HDMI cable--it does not. You will need to purchase a mini HDMI to HDMI cable. I haven't purchased one yet for this camera, so I cannot attest to the video quality with an off-market brand, but I will certainly try one (I've had good luck with Mediabridge cables, limited lifetime warranty) before shelling out the extra cash for the Panasonic cable. I hope this helps. It's a basic kit, but it is nice that they included a hand strap. I bought an Xacti CG10 and it didn't include one. It's not a big deal, but it seems to be one of those items you can't find right away when you need it. When I get a new "toy" I want to play with it right away and I'm such a klutz, I have to have some type of hand strap for protection! Good luck!

Camera, battery, cords and charger... I won't recommend this camera from Panasonic. I bought this particular model, but in less than few weeks, hardly used, it just died on me. I had to send it back to Panasonic and got a refurbished replacement after more than a month. I would recommend other Panasonic cameras other than this, in fact I have bought lots of Panasonic cameras, this is the only one I had problems with.

Here's another camera in the same price range you might consider --- Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ8K 8MP Digital Camera with 5x Wide Angle MEGA Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Black) As you can see it's similar to the A590 in several respects, but it has a better LCD and more video modes -- http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/compare_post.asp?method=sidebyside&cameras;=canon_a590is%2Cpanasonic_dmclz8&show;=all

Thanks so much for the response. After much research, I know I want this camera. What a great deal, I'll order mine tonight!

I ordered the Black body only and then bought the better Pentax lens (water resistant) plus a Tamron 300mm Zoom with macro lens. The body did come with a manual, rechargable battery and recharger, camera strap. You will need a fast SD card (I ordered an extreme). I also have a CaseLogic case (no case with the camera). I have to say it takes amazing low light pictures ... even with a 300mm lens. (I'm glad I did not buy the 'kit' with 2 lens,etc.)

I bought my DMC-ZS8 in 2011 and had to send it back for cleaning and now it again has big dust spots rendering it unusable. They should recall this camera and replace it. I need to buy a camera for my upcoming vacation (there isn't the time to send it back to Panasonic for cleaning) but don't know what to get..

Love my ZS3. One thing I really like is the dedicated "video capture" button. I don't have to change to a video mode, I just hit the button any time to capture movies. Great camera!www.panasonic.net/lumix

Look up "canon chdk". It's a firmware that you load from your sd card. I'm getting optical zoom in my SD800IS, along with many other features, like shooting in raw, and control over shutter speed. For those cameras with aperture control (mine just has a NS filter), you can even adjust that.Still, I really like the looks of the SX1 coming out. I'm going to start saving for Christmas now.

Hi Ginett.The camera is pretty light, but does have a little bit of a "solid" feel to it. If weight is a concern, you could also consider a Panasonic model, which I bought for my wife to keep in her purse. It is a little smaller and lighter but includes a wide angle lens, long lasting battery and a (slightly less powerful, but still very adequate) 10X Zoom. This one is a Panasonic Lumix Model DMC-ZS02. It has most of the features of the larger one and costs around $50 less. Either camera will easily fit in a shirt pocket. Hope this helps.

I wondered if there were better LCDs out there for outside photos than on my last two cameras (Fujis). Anyway, I am gravitating toward a slightly larger camera with a nice optical zoom. On the high end, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35, and on the low end the Fuji S1500. These cameras tend to have viewfinders, but I need to do a lot more research before I make a final decision.

Its ludicrous that both Amazon and Panasonic don't tell you what is in the box when you order the ZS3. I complained to both about this. Turns out the only way to tell is to go to the Panasonic site, download the owner's manual PDF file and find the list on page 12 or so. So other poor bastards like myself won't have to waste the time repeating this I include the "What's in the box" list below. ...also all the battery confusion - what a mess - I decided to avoid any unpleasant firmware surprises [taking off version 1.2 for 1.1 to allow non-OEM batteries to work] by getting a car charger. Yes, you CANNOT get the Panasonic official battery for the ZS3 yet (unless you buy the camera also!). Somebody said late September at the earliest. What's in the box: Battery Pack DMW-BCG10PP * Charge the battery before use. (referred to in this manual as `battery') Battery Charger DE-A65B (referred to in this manual as `charger') Battery Carrying Case VGQ0E45 Hand Strap VFC4297 USB Connection Cable K1HA14AD0001 AV Cable K1HA14CD0001 CD-ROM * Install software on your computer to use it.

I think this is a timly update from panasonic now, I have FZ28 its a nice camera, with these few addons i am sure FZ-35 will be a best seller, recording in Stereo with MP4 for small size was desperately needed. when you buy, dont forget to buy 8Gb Class-6 memory card with a Tripod and Camera Case. these are must have., enjoy

Quite frankly, I don't remember, but I wouldn't let that interfere with buying this amazing camera. And there are a number of books available on the camera including "Photographer's guide to the Sony DSC RX100" by Alexander White that should give you plenty of info. Now my camera of choice when I go out the door. And the best part - it fits in my pocket - with a nice big sensor to take amazing photos. Enjoy!
