What owners like
Panasonic Lumix DMC-3D1 works best when you want simple snapshots, direct flash, and the relaxed character people look for in older digital compacts rather than a technically perfect modern camera; its 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm) CMOS and 25-100 mm equivalent, F3.9-5.7 are the main character of the look.
Common complaints
Check the lens movement, flash, screen, buttons, and card door calmly before relying on it; older compact bodies can need a little patience without being a bad buy.
What to compare
