Delivery Estimate:
Item sourced for you from USA
Some electrical appliances sourced in the USA have a 2pin American style socket but are 110v and 220v compatible in these instances an adapter is supplied free of charge. Other items are 110v only and will require a transformer sold separately. Items such as clocks may not work properly in South Africa due to our power utility using a 50hz frequency, no adapter to remedy this is available.
TV, VIDEO, GAMES are usually designed for the NTSC, and DVD Region1 standard, please ensure your appliance, gaming console supports this before ordering. Atomic Clocks & Watches work in South Africa but need to be manually set as we live to far away to receive the radio signal that updates the time automatically.If in any doubt please contact us before ordering.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 10MP Digital Camera with 12x Wide Angle MEGA Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 3 inch LCD (Black)
The ZS3 records HD motion images at a smooth 60 frames per second with 1280 x 720-pixel resolution. It uses the AVCHD (MPEG-4/H.264) format, via AVCHD lite, which stores less data than other formats and thus lets you shoot more minutes of HD motion images before running out of memory.Just set the camera to iA mode, aim and shoot. The camera does all the rest. It automatically determines the most suitable scene mode and helps correct blurring, focus, and brightness problems. With iA mode, it's easy to get beautiful, clear results. In the ZS3, iA mode cannot be used when shooting motion images.The ZS3 packs a LEICA DC VARIO-ELMAR lens with 12x optical zoom into a compact body. This versatile photographic tool lets you shoot everything from sweeping vistas at the 25mm wide-angle setting to dynamic 300mm telephoto shots. And the lens system's exquisite rendering ability lets you capture even the subtle nuances of the sights and scenes in your travels.
Features:
- 10.1-megapixel resolution captures enough detail for poster-size prints
- 12x MEGA optical image-stablilized zoom; 25mm ultra-wide-angle lens
- Capture HD video in "AVCHD Lite" format
- Intelligent Auto (iA) mode; Face Recognition feature
- Capture images to SD/SDHC memory cards (not included)
What is very poor is that from v1.2 firmware onwards, Panasonic has made it almost impossible for third party batteries to work. These last longer than Panasonic batteries and cost less than half and they are available, Panasonic batteries can not be obtained easily at the time I bought this and they seemed very disinterested in helping me out.
