Customer Reviews 

not for all Lumix
2009-07-02I ordered this battery the day I ordered my Lumix DMC-ZS3 because it came up on Amazon's site as the battery for that camera. It is not. So, if you have a DMC-ZS3, don't order this!
I do agree to always buy the manufacturers battery. For my last camera, I tried one of the knock-offs, and everytime I used that battery my camera would heat up when I took videos. Stay safe, and use the manufacturers!

Don't Buy This for Lumix DMC-ZS3
2009-06-27Add me to the list of people who accidentally bought this battery because Amazon recommended it as an accessory to the Lumix DMC-ZS3 camera. It seems a lot of us have purchased them together, but the battery is incompatible with the camera. Now I am leaving in a few days on a 3-week trip without a backup battery. I hope I can find one somewhere locally.

The Battery Was Misrepresented
2009-06-26This battery is sold as an accessory extra battery for the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 10MP Digital Camera with 12X Optical Zoom. Wanting a spare battery to have one to charge while the other was in use, I ordered this recommended spare. But it doesn't fit the camera!! Unfortunately, since I had ordered the camera and accessories as a gift, when it was actually given several weeks later, I no longer had the relevant paperwork from Amazon. It may be a perfectly good battery, but not for this camera that it is sold with. I'm hoping that Amazon will rectify the problem.

Misleading product
2009-06-26I ordered this battery under the impression that it was for a Lumix DMC-SZ3 camera, just released by Panasonic. It DOES NOT work for these type of camera. Theis battery showed up as an accessory for this camera in Amazon.com. Not sure why Amazon.com would place this battery as an option for this camera model. Wasted time and money!

Not for DMC-ZC3 camera
2009-06-24This battery cannot be used on Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 camera. The spec is similar but it won't fit. Be aware.
The package comes with a casing for battery and detailed instruction. If this fits your camera, the battery would be good.

The types of camcorders
If you are planning on purchasing a camcorder, you should be familiar with
the types of camcorders and how they can benefit your specific needs. The

its pros and cons
VHS
The VHS format is the oldest type of camcorder. This type of video camcorder
is fast becoming outdated, because you can only play back
the video on a VHS VCR system. VHS
camcorders are not nearly as clear as digital
video camcorders that offer clear video with 540 lines of resolution,
VHS video cameras only offer 240 lines of resolution. They also weigh more
and are much more bulky, that dv camcorders. You can only find these video
camera used because their technology is now outdated.

camcorders come in a smaller size that the VHS camcorder models, but use
the same technology. The video tapes u ...
