The present invention provides a compact zoom lens system suitable for a video camera and a digital still camera using a solid-state imaging device, having a zoom ratio of 3.5 or more, an angle of view in a wide-angle end state of about 60°, and superb optical performance. According to one aspect, in order from an object side, a first lens group has negative refractive power, a second lens group has positive refractive power, and a third lens group has positive refractive power. The front principal point of the second lens group is located to the object side of the most object side surface of the second lens group. The distance between the first and second lens group is decreased and the distance between the second and third lens group is increased upon zooming from a wide-angle end state to a telephoto end state. Predetermined conditional expressions are satisfied.
