This is what a “regular compact camera” looks like: Panasonic’s DC-TX3 is a casual 15x zoom camera: Kei Ogikubo’s Digital Camera Review Plus (Page 1 of 6)

Panasonic introduced the LUMIX DC-TX3, a compact digital camera with a 1-inch sensor and 15x zoom lens.

By omitting an EVF, the TX3 keeps a simple, casual-friendly design aimed at easy everyday shooting.

The model is positioned as a “normal” compact camera that balances portability and image quality, rather than a smartphone replacement.

Its debut highlights where the compact camera market is heading: practical zoom and better image quality in a small body.
