Product Description
Equipped with 14.7 megapixels, the new Panasonic FX150 boasts a 28mm wide-angle Leica DC Vario-Elmarit lens with F2.8 brightness and 3.6x optical zoom. The FX150s manual controls and creative-shooting features distinguish it from many of its ultra-compact competitors. For instance, the Manual Exposure mode lets users choose the shutter speed, giving the freedom to render artistic images of ordinary scenes. The multi-exposure function superimposes up to three consecutively shot images together while the user views the previous image on the LCD, creating a surrealistic effect that cannot be achieved with a single image alone. Furthermore, the manual bracketing function includes typical exposure and adds new color bracketing to capture color, monochromatic and sepia shots of an image simultaneously.

 Decent point and shoot September 26, 2008

I purchased this camera for three main reasons its RAW capablities the 14.7 megapixels it offers and the Leica lens. It has a few nice options, one which I particularly like is the SCN mode for low light portraits. It has a delayed double flash which allows you to balance ambient light with the flash for a more pleasing look. The one dissapointment I've been able to discern is its low light capabilities. Anything past iso 400 is virtually useless on this camera. The noise is so pronounced I would steer clear of anything higher than iso 200 if you want to print larger than 8x10. Other than that it should suit my needs. I would not consider this any kind of replacement for a good digital SLR but if you happen to need something small and discreet which allows you to enlarge you pictures beyond 8 x 10 this should fit the bill.

Is interesting how many people make a review about , in this case, a little and portable camera making his judgement like if they are handling an SLR.
Im a profesional photographer and i like to have a nice and portable camera "just in case", and i found this camera ( i had first the 12 megapixel fx100) almost perfect. wonderfull design and remarcable results. everybody knows about noise in this cameras over 400 iso. ALL THE CAMERAS in this range have the same limitation about noise;the small size of the sensor and the "race" of megapixels make this. You can bet that the next step in this class of cameras (2009 generation) will be increase the size of the sensor.
So you should consider the differences between them. Color rendition of the panasonic: beautifull...quality lens.. leica,and deserves the name. video in hd.. love it.. options of settings: a lot... construccion: excelent... easy of use control.. cant beat it, and... RAW format.. oh yes!! the first one in this range with this privilege. if you consider what are you buying (and what for) and how much are you paying (!!) i recomend this camera with out reservations.
Update. Well i still recomend this camera but... with reservations. After some time and many pics i must agree about the noise. More than usual and more than the previous model fx100. If you want to take pictures under a good day light is ok, and the quality of the balance of the flash is excelent, but under low light.. hmmm.. just for the monitor or (nice)"pictoric efect"..

Camera has all the bells and whisles-I don't think the manual is sufficient enough to help u distinguish between all the really good features. it's my fourth Lumix so u probably guessed I like the mfg.-has a good mega pixel rating at 14.7- get the case it sometimes turns on in my pocket with other junk nudging it. If you have large fingers, the camera may be cumbersome to use especially in the one handed mode. Screen always needs to be cleaned because the camera is so small with the screen taking almost all the back side. Screen is good in all except facing bright sun. I believe there is an adjustment for such, but I have not got around to that in the manual. Just came back from Caribbean and the electronic markets down there have not seen this model yet. I believe the pricing thru amazon was competitive. The face tracking recognition feature is cool. I'm a click and shoot photographer and do not want to wait to change settings or go to manual mode to get the perfect picture. I'll shot 10 picts to get one good one and maybe fix it up in PhotoShop. Flash seems better than other comprobables. Batter last a long time on one charge. Charger is compact and takes almost no room in the luggage. Shot over 500 picts in this last week's trip. A lot of good features more than the average Joe or Jill would want.
I like it and would recommend it. Get the case!
Best 14MP camera November 22, 2008

Before I bought this camera I just bought a Sony t300. It was a crappy camera the pictures was so bad. The Sony T300 camera with the extras cost 400. So much money for so bad pictures.If your looking for a camera with smile ang face features and very nice GUI then buy sony. But dont expect good quality pictures. So Sony never again! So, i was thinking of buying a Canon SD990. But before I buy it I checked the net for some reviews on it. It was not a bad camera but for a 14mp it wasnt what the reviewers expected. The macro was bad and also when you use high ISO. Then I decided to get this Panasonic FX150. After few tests of the camera I was amazed on the cameras crisp pictures. On Macro shots youll be amazed this camera does.
So, Overall this camera is the best buy for me. And it only cost much cheaper than Sony and Canon. And teh best thing is the 4gb memory is free.
