Panasonic's Lumix DMC-LZ3 — 5MP AA-powered compact with stabilised 6x 37-222mm equivalent zoom, 2006

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ3 was announced in January 2006 alongside the DMC-LZ5, replacing the earlier LZ1/LZ2 pair in Panasonic's AA-powered long-zoom compact line. The LZ series was pitched at buyers who wanted more zoom reach than typical pocket compacts without stepping up to a bridge camera.

It paired a 5-megapixel 1/2.5-inch CCD with an image-stabilised 6x optical zoom covering 37-222mm equivalent — unusual reach for its class at the time. A 2.0-inch LCD handled framing, 14MB of internal memory supplemented SD cards, and power came from two AA cells rated at up to 400 shots with NiMH rechargeables. Panasonic also fitted a reduced-resolution ISO 1600 high-sensitivity mode and improved focus speed over the LZ2.

The AA-battery design remains the LZ3's most practical asset — there is no proprietary charger to lose — and Mega O.I.S. makes the long end genuinely usable handheld. It suits travellers and family snapshooters; expect typical mid-2000s CCD behaviour, with pleasing daylight colour but limited high-ISO ability.

AA power removes the dead-battery risk that sidelines many old compacts, so the main checks are mechanical: zoom action through the full range without error messages, a clean unscratched LCD, and a battery compartment free of alkaline leak corrosion. Test with fresh NiMH cells, as weak alkalines can cause false shutdown faults.
