Fujifilm FinePix FZ-150 Digital Camera Review and Best Price

Panasonic DMC-FZ150K 12.1 MP Digital Camera with CMOS Sensor and 24x Optical Zoom

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ150 is one of Super Zoom compact digital camera which has been released in August 2011. The new LUMIX DMC-FZ150 is fully equipped with a 25mm ultra wide-angle LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens and a powerful 24x Optical Zoom (35mm camera equivalent: 25-600mm) available for shooting both stills and videos. This zoom lens long enough to get closer to the target. With the 24x Optical Zoom and 3D shooting capabilities the FZ150 is a versatile, powerful camera that gives users endless options to take creative and high-quality images and videos. The LUMIX’s popular iA (Intelligent Auto) Mode powerfully assists in any shooting situations to get the best results. Thanks to the Intelligent Resolution technology, Intelligent Zoom is available with the FZ150 extending the zoom ratios by approx. 1.3X. This means the 24x optical zoom can virtually extend to a 32x equivalent.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ150 is a new super-zoom camera featuring a wide-angle 24x zoom lens, 12.1 megapixel high-speed MOS image sensor, and 12fps continuous shooting without autofocus and 5.5fps with autofocus. Successor to the FZ100 model, the bridge-style Panasonic FZ150 compact also offers a 3-inch, 460K-pixel rotating LCD screen, full HD 1080p movie recording in AVCHD format at 25/30fps. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ150 shares an awful lot in common in terms of its external design with its predecessor, the FZ100, so some of the comments that we made in that review apply equally to this latest model.
