I just noticed that the question was partially asked in another post:Q: Is there option to turn GPS off? Does this camera include battery, charger and memory card? A: This camera includeds the battery and charger. As for the memory card, it don't come with one. The gps can be turned off if you want it to be off.Also, there is a lot of information given buy users - and be sure to check the "comments" for the negative reviews. This camera got great reviews even from camera review sites.

You are most welcome! It drives me nuts when they don't tell you exactly what you are getting. I ordered a TV last week, a couple of models included one HDMI cables as a bonus item, most did not. When I was able to confirm my TV did not come with an HDMI cable, I ordered the exact number needed for my various and sundry components. Everything came together--no extra trips needed, perfect!Glad to hear I'm not the only person who still uses the wrist strap... ;o) Again, good luck!

I don't buy a lot of items from Amazon, however, in the past they have always posted the contents of the box. Makes for no surprises! However, in my most recent searches it appears box contents are no longer high priority. Amazon apparently doesn't read these posts, either, or ignores them if they do. I guess Amazon expects patrons to answer the questions. Not a good business practice, as you get negative comments like mine. I am in the market for an ZS-7, but may have to slip to the ZS-6 as I can at least know what I am buying at Costco.

Great! Thanks for the info - it helps to know what else may or may not be needed.BTW, I have advised many people to use the wrist strap, because you never know when it may slip, or be accidentally bumped, and fall out of your grip (no-klutz intended)!

Another good way to answer your questions is to Google "Panasonic sz3 manual". Then you can use the index to see all camera functions and options.

Everything you need for initial use is included. The battery and charger, lense hood, cables, etc. The battery requires @2 hours to fully charge. You will need an SD/SDHC card, a class 6 is recommended.Software is included, but I don't personally know if Windows 7 is ok, but I assume it is. You can check by downloading the manual at Panasonic.com.

New this camera includes a charger and it is special for the batteries it uses. You can find a charger on e bay for about 20 bucks with a battery if you are buying used and do not have one

I can't believe this website doesn't provide a "what's in the box" section - I can't find it either! Yes, it comes with a battery, but the AC power unit does not always charge the battery - check the manual, but I think it either only charges when the camera is turned off, or maybe doesn't charge it at all. In any case, a couple spare batteries (with a wall charger) are a must for this camera.I believe it comes with component output cords but it has an HDMI port, which is the most useful for getting video out of it.

I frankly don't remember, it was for a fellow employee. But I did recently purchase a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W620 14.1 MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Zoom and 2.7-Inch LCD in Silver + 8GB SDHC + Sony Case + Card Reader + Replacement Battery + Accessory Kit for $128 for everything here on Amazon. We were very impressed with everything plus it saved ordering everything separately. Compare the two cameras and see if it measures up. I'm sorry I couldn't help with your question. Have a great day :)

Bob, did you ever find out? I just ordered the camera and want to know the same thing! Thanks for any help.

From what I have found the DMC-ZS30 is the USA Version of the DMC-TZ40. I am considering this camera just haven't made my mind up yet. Thanks to those who posted about the language issues with the camera menus.

I bought my DMC-ZS8 in 2011 and had to send it back for cleaning and now it again has big dust spots rendering it unusable. They should recall this camera and replace it. I need to buy a camera for my upcoming vacation (there isn't the time to send it back to Panasonic for cleaning) but don't know what to get..

I also ordered this battery and received the DMW-BCG10 (no PP at the end). I contacted Panasonic via their website before making a fuss about getting the wrong battery. Panasonic told me that the letters at the end refer to the region where the battery was produced, but that the DMW-BCG10 was a compatible battery for the DMC-ZS7 camera. I charged the battery in the charger that came with my camera, and it worked just fine, no message about being incompatible. I just bought my camera at Costco in March, so I assume it has the updated firmware.

Hello, Here is what Panasonic says regarding the LX7 "An optional 1,440,000-dot equivalent Live View Finder (LVF) DMW-LVF2 featuring ... The DMW-LVF2 must be attached to the hot shoe of the DMC-LX7". So it seems that the viewed dedicated to the LX7 is the LVF2, not the LVF1. The only way to know if the LVF1 will work would be to actually try and see if it works.

Your welcome, I'm just now learning how to use my new Zi8. I think I'm really going to like it. I also bought an extra battery for it, from Amazon. A Kodak KLIC-7004, just like the one that came with it. I would hate to be taking videos and have my battery run out. I'm checking into buying another battery charger too.

I simply own the Lumix DMC-ZS30 and have sold an extra of the pack in discussion, so I might not be the best person to ask. However, according to Panasonic's website, the ZS19 uses a different model battery than the ZS30 (DMW-BCG10 versus the DMW-BCM13E).

Love my ZS3. One thing I really like is the dedicated "video capture" button. I don't have to change to a video mode, I just hit the button any time to capture movies. Great camera!www.panasonic.net/lumix
