Here is a comparison of the two cameras:

The only difference is physical.
The ZR1 is a smaller version of the ZS3.
The insides are the same.
The ZS3 has a bigger zoom, a bigger LCD screen, and a larger body to contain the larger zoom lens and the larger LCD.
Hello Everyone,
After weeks of research for a new digital point and shoot digital camera, I have narrowed my choices between two: the panasonic lumix ZR1 or the panasonic lumix zs3. I am looking for a camera that is easy to use and with excellent picture quality.
Thanks,
Cindy
