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.Customer Review: Blur
Not the best camera, with the image stablization on still get quite a few pictures blur. I would not buy this camera again. The HD movie is a plus it takes better movies than the other poiint and shoot cameras, again not good quality pictures taken with this camera. I buy a new camera each year all point and shoot off-line and read all reviews to make that final decision, this was not a good decision...sorry Lumix.
Customer Review: Great Camera. Still a P&S though.
I purchased this camera as a carry around when my DSLR is too bulky. I was attracted to all the features it offers and somewhat ignored the reviews I read about grainy images. After using it a little and having some images developped at the walmart 1 hour option, i think it takes really decent images. Most taken were of children and skin tones were represented really well even in indoor images WITH flash. No blown out tones and no really overly dark backgrounds. All their eyes were strikingly blue and bright and skin tones were even. Backgrounds were still understandably darker but overall not bad at all considering I used the auto mode with flash on. I like this camera. Admitedly it doesn't have stellar iso capabilities like my DSLR and a prime lense but it does a great job for a 230$ p&s. I wouldn't pay 400 for it like the orig. price was but it does a great job. With a little careful shooting in a dimly lit room on auto no flash I got a nice crisp image that represented the dim lighting very accurately. Holding it steady it does a great job without needing a tripod. Images can be slightly grainy but overall detailed and good quality for a p&s. Just don't expect high end quality and be happy with good, but not necessarily excellent image quality and this camera will suite the user just fine! In good lighting it takes very good images but can still be a little grainy noticable in darker areas. i dunno, I like it. it's not an SLR but it takes good pictures. The conveniance is worth it. It feels solid in your hand. the buttons on the back are a bit plasticky but overall a good user experience. Most of the advertised features are built in and won't appear in the limited menus. Switching to review an image can take about a second but loads up fast after that. Shutter feels good for a p&s and the wide angle as advertised feels nice. It's a nice range for a p&s. Zoom goes to 7x, which I don't quite understand because it seems like there is someting mechanical moving all the way out to 7x but it advertised 3x. pleasant surpise. I like this camera and it'll be a good pocket friend when needed. It doesn't take much room and isn't bulky like a Canon G9 or G10. May not take quite the image quality of those but i'd say it's a good compromise for those if you're looking for something cheaper and smaller.
