The stylish and feature-rich DMC-FX150 features a 1/1.72 CCD with 14.7 megapixels, the highest number of effective pixels in the compact digital camera class, and combines it with a bright F2.8 DC Vario-Elmarit lens. This lens offers high resolution and smooth gradation across the entire focal range, to depict subjects with exceptional detail and dynamic realism.The DMC-FX150 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 color bracketing to capture color, monochromatic and sepia shots of an image simultaneously.In addition to manual controls, the FX150 also offers Panasonic's Intelligent Auto (IA) mode that provides the user with automatic settings adjustments depending on the shooting environment. A technology, called AF (Auto Focus) tracking, has been added to the IA roster of features. AF tracking enables the camera to lock focus on a moving object. Additionally, AF tracking increases face detection accuracy, allowing for crisp, sharp-focused shots even if the subject moves while shooting the image.

Very Capable and wonderful pictures

"For a pocket point and shoot camera this is ideal. This DMC-FX150 replaced a previous Lumix model that was damaged. Although the previous Lumix was smaller and lighter, the FX150 blows it away on features and picture quality. The ability to switch quickly from 4:3 to 16:9 makes for more interesting pictures when traveling. The picture quality is stunning. When I showed different people the photos I took on ..."

I expected much more...

"After read some "top" compact camera reviews and looking for anything with 28mm lens plus manual apperture and exposure settings, I decided to buy the FX-150. My other option was Sony W300 (I'm very satisfied with my old Sony cameras - F717, V1, H1 and H2 -, and want to buy the Alpha 300 from B&H soon!). Unfortunately, this time I didn't had a friend travelling to USA (I ever ask them to buy photo gear for me f..." Read Full Review »

"This camera is a bit schizophrenic. Pro features like camera RAW encoding, high resolution, and manual modes are there but hard to use. On the other hand there is an overabundance of amateur features; so many that the picture opportunity may be gone before you find the one you want. Over all the r …"  Read Full Review »
