The Panasonic Lumix DMC-SZ3 offers a decent amount of zoom for a budget camera, that is small enough to carry in your pocket. It's a cheap option for someone wanting a pocketable travel camera, with picture quality suited to sharing on the web, rather than large prints.

Decent image quality for a budget camera, Creative control mode for unique pictures, Has optical image stabilisation, Good value for money

Lacks a button to give quick access to picture settings such as ISO and white balance, Continuous shooting slower than expected, Inconsistent exposure in panoramas in bright sunlight
All in all, an excellent camera for the price. I mostly purchased it for taking vacation and nature photos (I do a lot of weekend trips and its more fun to frame where I have gone). It met my expectations, I just wish I could figure out the settings.

Only reason I tacked an egg off is that this camera often ends up with blurry photos. I know it is a layer 8 problem and that I just need to get used to the settings, but even in the intelligent mode, it often blurs out and misses detail. A lot of point and shoots are quality ready I feel.
