Panasonic's entry 2004 superzoom bridge — 3MP CCD, constant f/2.8 12x 35-420mm Leica zoom, Mega OIS.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ3 was announced in July 2004 as the junior model of the FZ superzoom bridge line, sitting below the FZ15 and FZ20 that launched at the same time. It succeeded the FZ2 and kept the series' signature: a constant-aperture 12x Leica zoom with optical stabilisation at a budget price.

It built a 3-megapixel 1/3.2-inch CCD delivering 2016x1512 images into a compact bridge body with a Leica DC Vario-Elmarit 12x zoom covering 35-420mm equivalent at a constant f/2.8. Mega OIS optical stabilisation, the Venus Engine II processor, burst shooting to 4fps, an electronic viewfinder and a 1.5-inch 114k-dot LCD completed the package. The body measured 108x68x85mm, weighed about 290g, and stored images to SD cards.

The FZ3 suits used buyers wanting the cheapest possible entry to the constant-f/2.8 FZ formula for daylight wildlife and sport snapshots; the bright tele end and stabilisation still work as designed. Three megapixels limits cropping and printing latitude by modern standards, so it fits casual reach-hungry shooting rather than detailed work.

Check the EVF and rear LCD both display cleanly, since these early screens can fade or streak, and run the 12x zoom through its range with OIS active listening for mechanical noise. Confirm the proprietary battery holds a useful charge and a charger is present, and note the camera predates SDHC, so large modern cards may not be recognised - test with a 2GB or smaller SD card.
