Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX150 review

Can Panasonic's new Lumix do its Leica lens justice?

Leica optics ; Great build quality ; RAW support

Noise ; More noise ; Meddling Intelligent Auto

An attractive compact with a quality lens, but it's let down by excessive noise and an unreliable 'Intelligent Auto' mode

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX150 digital camera

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX150 looks, at first glance, just like many other digital compacts on the market. It has a surprisingly uninspiring squared off design but with all metal build that enhances the camera's appeal. The Lumix FX150 provides a neat...

Good low ISO image quality, lens, features, iA (intelligent Auto), HD movies, E-zoom, all-metal build

High ISO image noise, shutter lag, sluggish focusing

The Lumix FX150 provides a neat balance between point’n’shooter and enthusiast snapper although it sometimes fails to fulfil the latter in some areas. Build is superb and handling is okay despite the blocky design. The good metering and WB control aid...

Compared to the Canon Digital IXUS 980 IS - the Canon has the slight edge in image quality, with lower noise, and better detail, while the Panasonic Lumix FX150 has the edge in features and offers a more complete package at a lower price. The Panasonic...

Panasonic DMC FX150

The Panasonic DMC FX150 is 14.7 megapixel digital camera. It has a wide angle 3.6x optical zoom lens. Other key features include a simple manual mode and the ability to shoot at a maximum of 7.7x zoom at low resolutions. In terms of picture quality...

Ease of use - high definition movies - design - manual exposure controls - picture quality

No serious complaints

Panasonic have produced a very good camera with the DMC FX150. With extra features, good photo quality and a simple design I would be very happy to own this camera. It is capable of producing good snapshots.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX150

This new Lumix offers buyers a whooping 14-megapixel punch for under £300, but is it all muscle and no strength? We find outâ€¦

A great little performer that will help the budding shooter learn more about manual controls than other compact offerings

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX150 review

Instead of being the camera you take with you while your digital SLR stays home , the 14-megapixel Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX150 is the one you go for when you simply want a little more control over exposure than the typical compact offers. It doesn't have...

Great mix of manual, auto features; raw, raw+JPEG capture; 28mm wide-angle lens; easy to operate; 720p HD movie capture; unassuming good looks.

No optical zoom in Movie mode; noise reduction noticeable at ISO 200; limited manual functions.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX150 is an excellent blend of usability, features, and photo quality.
