This review is from: Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS15 12MP Digital Camera with 5x MEGA Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.7 inch LCD (Black)Got the camera 2 days ago from Costco. Coupon brought the price down from $179.00 to $149.00. Took WEEKS of research before I decided on this one. Also at that price I got a 2MB card and a very nice camera case included.It is well built, feels sturdy and not easily breakableWide Angle lens and 5x Zoom is very good compared to other point and shoots which have neither a 5x zoom or a wide angleDigital zoom can go all the way to 20x or even 35x with 5 MP used. Not very clear but useful to have if you need it.The pictures come out VERY clean with good colors, clarity and lighting.Size is small enough for a pocketVideo is good quality...(wish you could zoom in video mode)The IA button which basically presets scene, face recognition, lighting etc is GREAT if you dont want to press a hundred buttons to set up the shot. Just ONE button and your set to go!Flash is a littttttle on the weak side but still good enough for anything I need.LCD screen is VERY clear and automatically goes lighter or darker accoring to the lighting you are in...and EXCELLENT feature. Also has a setting for the LCD screen if you are putting the camera over your head for a crowd scene that the LCD can still be seen at that angle...I LOVE that feature as wellLots of little extras in the hardware that I still need to explore....Overall I could NOT be more pleased..the write ups online are good and my experience so far (I have taken a few dozen pictures to test it) is also very good. If you want a mid priced camera that can compete with the big boys on zoom, wide angle and picture quality...while at the same time having a small enough camera to carry in your pocket..this is DEF it.
This review is from: Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS15 12MP Digital Camera with 5x MEGA Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.7 inch LCD (Black)As a serious-amateur photographer, I have Canon Rebel Xti with some lenses from 300mm to 50mm f/1.8, I realize that I need to buy smaller camera to carry around. It's not funny if in the wedding somebody poke me and ask for taking photo because seeing me carrying big SLR with some lenses..... so the hunting for "good, not expensive, point and shoot" camera was started. One thing that I really don't want to compromise is photo quality. I know that Leica have excellent quality for "point and shoot" camera, only thing is that they have also "excellent" price tag on it. The lowest tag for Leica is $600 (same as Canon Rebel), the second lowest is ridiculosly higher than $1500... so forgot the Leica.I know that panasonic use Leica lens for their camera/camcorder product (I have HD panasonic camcorder with Leica lens, very good quality movie).... so let's try it. I bought this camera "Lumix DMC-fS15 12 MP" thru Amazon (best price I found), delivered within a week... no complain at all. I found that the picture quality from this camera is really amazing, much better than other brand my friend uses... The user interface is easy to understand. basically I just read once briefly the manual and that's it ready for action. The other feature i found interesting is the "burst", combine it one by one by iPhoto and change it into slow motion picture is really easy and "cool" (my sons said).Also I found very practical is the charger doesn't need cable to connect to the power, you can connect it directly to the power.
This review is from: Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS15 12MP Digital Camera with 5x MEGA Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.7 inch LCD (Black)I just got this camera yesterday, so beware that I haven't explored all the options yet, but so far I LOVE it. My old Powershot A75 quit at the beginning of February, after which I spent two weeks worth of research and bought the Powershot A2000. I was immediately disappointed with it; athough I wasn't expecting the smallest camera on the market because it takes AA batteries, it was actually bigger than my old A75, which took four batteries instead of two. It also seemed really slow and sluggish, so I sent it back and decided to rethink my camera-buying strategy. Ultimately I decided I wanted to go with a lithium-ion battery instead, because though it may not be as convenient, it makes the camera much smaller and faster. Plus, the batteries are cheap enough to have an extra on hand, and unlike previous cameras I've owned that used AAs, the camera tells you how much battery power you have left so that you can plan ahead.I decided to go with Panasonic because of its good ratings, especially on the Leica lens, but mostly because of the wide angle lens and its capacity f...
