Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS15/TZ25 Review

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS15 ($279) is a compact ultra zoom camera, and the little brother to the ZS20 that earned a mixed review when I reviewed it recently. Normally I don't review a pair of cameras that are this similar, but since there's a lot of...

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS15 is a compact ultra zoom camera that performs better than its more expensive sibling (the ZS20), though you'll miss out on some of that cameras biggest features (zoom, GPS, 1080/60p video). The DMC-ZS15 looks a whole lot...

Lumix DMC-ZS15

on this site back in February. Normally I don't review a pair of cameras that are this similar, but since there's a lot of interest in the ZS15, I'm doing both

Very good photo quality ; Packs a high quality 16X (24 - 384 mm) zoom lens into a small package ; Power OIS" image stabilization, with "active" mode for movies ; 3-inch LCD offers good outdoor/low light visibility ; Good selection of manual controls ;...

Occasional highlight clipping ; Redeye a problem; no removal tool in playback mode ; Photos taken in artificial light tend to have a yellow/brown color cast ; LCD seems a bit blurry (on my camera, at least) ; No RAW, manual focus, or WB bracketing...

While it doesn't have the most Megapixels, zoom power, or features, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS15 is still a very good compact ultra zoom camera. It offers a nice zoom lens in a compact body, along with robust performance, very good photo quality, tons...
