So, if you have a DMC-ZS3, don't order this.I do agree to always buy the manufacturers battery. I ordered this battery the day I ordered my Lumix DMC-ZS3 because it came up on Amazon's site as the battery for that camera. It is not. For my last camera, I tried one of the knock-offs, and everytime I used that battery my camera would heat up when I took videos. Stay safe, and use the manufacturers.
Add me to the list of people who accidentally bought this battery because Amazon recommended it as an accessory to the Lumix DMC-ZS3 camera. It seems a lot of us have purchased them together, but the battery is incompatible with the camera. Now I am leaving in a few days on a 3-week trip without a backup battery. I hope I can find one somewhere locally.
This battery is sold as an accessory extra battery for the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 10MP Digital Camera with 12X Optical Zoom. Unfortunately, since I had ordered the camera and accessories as a gift, when it was actually given several weeks later, I no longer had the relevant paperwork from Amazon. Wanting a spare battery to have one to charge while the other was in use, I ordered this recommended spare. But it doesn't fit the camera. It may be a perfectly good battery, but not for this camera that it is sold with. I'm hoping that Amazon will rectify the problem.
Theis battery showed up as an accessory for this camera in Amazon.com. I ordered this battery under the impression that it was for a Lumix DMC-SZ3 camera, just released by Panasonic. It DOES NOT work for these type of camera. Not sure why Amazon.com would place this battery as an option for this camera model. Wasted time and money.
Be aware. This battery cannot be used on Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 camera. The spec is similar but it won't fit. The package comes with a casing for battery and detailed instruction. If this fits your camera, the battery would be good.
