The Panasonic Lumix DMC-SZ3 is a slim budget compact announced in January 2013 in the entry-level SZ style-zoom line, sold in black, white, red and violet at supermarket prices.
A 16.1MP CCD with a 10x zoom covering 25-250mm equivalent, Mega OIS and 720p video in a body barely 21mm thick, aimed at users stepping up from a phone without complexity.
The archetypal last-generation mass-market compact, sold in huge volume through Argos and Currys just before phones ended the category - hence 30 concurrent UK listings across colours, with a modest CCD-revival second life.
Used buying: a sub-GBP-50 condition play - check for lens errors, front-element haze and CCD hot pixels; make sure the standalone charger and a working battery are included since replacing both can exceed the camera's value; violet and red variants sell fastest.
