Hi Arif,

You can see sample image galleries from each camera below:

L3
LZ3

Both cameras are rated moderately well by users/pro reviewers. They both have issues with build quality (they are very cheap cameras, after all) and with image quality. The Panasonic does fairly well outdoors in good light, but once you move indoors and the camera's auto mode bumps the ISO setting up, the image noise really starts to flood the picture. But check the shots for yourself and see what you think.

Good luck!

So far the LZ3 has made really wonderful sports shots. I have a baseball player and in several shots, the ball has been stopped perfectly and the action is not blurred. Though I've only used it a coule of weeks I'm impressed with the quality of the pics!!
