I am aware of the spec differences but would just like to hear some personal preferences and opinions from those with experience with each. I originally was looking for a compact P&S with good movie capabilities, zoom and quality and stumbled upon the the ZS3. I was ready to pull the trigger on the ZS3 but while researching the ZS3 I stumbled on the FZ35! Not as compact I know, but also not as big as other SLR's. Any thoughts ln value for the money between the two and practicality for an amateur? Any thoughts appreciated!!
