The good: The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ150's lens, shooting options, and fast performance offer great shooting flexibility.
The bad: The FZ150's JPEG photos can look overprocessed when viewed at large sizes.
The bottom line: Hobbyists and enthusiasts who want a megazoom camera with a lot of control over final results should strongly consider the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ150.
There was one thing that kept the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ100 from earning a CNET Editors' Choice Award: photo quality. So when Panasonic announced that its successor, the FZ150, had a new imaging sensor and processor, I had high hopes for it.
The main problem with the FZ100 was Panasonic's JPEG processing of photos taken above ISO 200, which produced soft smeary details and yellow blotching caused by noise. It's not great when any camera does this, but it's especially disappointing in a $500 one. The FZ150 gets a new 12-megapixel MOS sensor (dropping from 14 megapixels), which Panasonic claims improves its signal-to-noise ratio, and new noise reduction more evenly suppresses noise in dark and light areas of photos as well. The end result should be better photos at higher ISOs with less noise. And, in fact, it does produce better low-light photos.

However, it seems to have cost the FZ150 some quality at its lower ISOs. Though noise levels are better, it looks like Panasonic is overprocessing the JPEGs. It makes subjects look crunchy when viewed at larger sizes or when heavily cropped. On the other hand, if you don't regularly enlarge or crop photos for large prints, the photos straight from the camera might be perfectly fine. You can also choose to shoot in raw or raw plus JPEG, giving you the ability to process images yourself.
Color performance is probably my biggest issue with the FZ150's JPEGs, though. While it was pretty consistent up to ISO 800, subjects look oversaturated. The good thing is that in several modes you can adjust color saturation, just not in the fully automatic ones. Exposure seemed a bit inconsistent, but erred toward underexposing subjects, which is easier to fix. The white-balance presets are OK for the most part; however, the auto white balance is not good except under natural light. But again, you're stuck with it if you're using Intelligent Auto or most of the other automatic shooting modes. Whenever possible, use the presets or take a manual reading, which is really easy to do and you can store two presets.
Panasonic controls the barrel distortion fairly well from the 25mm-equivalent ultrawide-angle lens. There's also no sign of pincushion distortion when extended. The lens of my review sample is consistent edge to edge, with the exception of a slight bit of softness in the very corners. Fringing is under control for the most part, too, but I did see some in very high-contrast areas of photos, such as around tree leaves against a white sky.
One of the big selling points of the FZ150 is its movie capabilities. It can record AVCHD-format clips at 1080/60p that are sharp and smooth with good exposure and color. The camera also records in MP4 format at resolutions up to 1080/30p (20Mbps) for easier editing and uploading to the Web. The zoom does operate while recording, but its movement is picked up by the stereo mic. If you are recording in a very quiet environment, you will hear it in your movies, but otherwise it's difficult to hear. If you're looking for a compact camera for both photos and videos, this is a good choice.

The FZ150 is one of the most full-featured compact cameras available. To go into all of its shooting options would take many paragraphs and I'd still probably miss some things. It has plenty of automatic and scene modes, but even a handful of its scene modes have advanced options for fine-tuning the camera for what you're shooting. It really is a camera for those who want more control over final results in addition to using Panasonic's "Intelligent" technologies for improving photo and video quality and shooting performance. However, this vast feature set also makes the FZ150 a good choice as a family camera, as some people sharing it might want more control and others might simply want to point and shoot without worrying too much about settings.
The mode dial has no fewer than 14 options--from full manual for both photos and movies to creative modes with different effects to plain fully automatic. There's also a Custom mode for storing up to three sets of settings. Then, in addition to the five advanced scene modes on the dial, there are 17 scene types listed under the SCN mode, which includes a 3D photo option for viewing on a 3D TV and a high-speed movie record option for capturing small, slow-motion clips at 220 frames per second.
For those who want control over shutter speed and aperture, there are priority modes for each as well as a manual mode letting you control both. Shutter speeds go from 15 seconds to 1/2,000 second (a Starry Sky scene mode can be set for 30 seconds). Apertures go from f2.8 to f8 at the wide end with a total of 10 stops and the telephoto apertures go from f5.2 to f8 with a total of five stops. However, you can control much more in these modes and Program mode than shutter speed and aperture. There are six color types and a custom color type, for example, each with five-step sliders for changing contrast, sharpness, saturation, and noise reduction that can then be stored in memory. Basically, if you don't like the way the photos are coming out, you can tweak a lot of things, including white balance, focus, and ISO, to get the camera performing the way you want. (For more on all of the camera's settings and shooting options, check out Panasonic's global site.)
If you shoot a lot of moving subjects, namely children, pets, and sports, the FZ150's multiple burst shooting options give you a lot of flexibility and a fighting chance of getting a good photo. Its fastest burst modes--40 and 60 fps--are at reduced resolutions, but Panasonic packed in three at full resolution. There's one that captures up to 12 shots at 12fps, but that sets focus, exposure, and white balance with the first shot. What's better are the 2fps and 5.5fps options with autofocus, so you're able to get a moderately fast-moving subject in focus and properly exposed. Plus, these are available when shooting in raw plus JPEG. The camera's high-speed shooting also provides bracketing options for flash intensities and exposures.
Other aspects of the FZ150's shooting performance are excellent as well. Shutter lag is low at 0.3 second in bright lighting and 0.8 second in dim, low-contrast lighting. From shot to shot without the flash you're waiting only 1 second (1.3 seconds if you're shooting in raw); adding the flash extends that time to 3 seconds. The time from off to first shot is 1.9 seconds, which is a little long, but not uncommon for this camera class.
On top of everything I've mentioned, the camera is well-designed and generally nice to use. There's an ample hand grip so you can comfortably handle its 1.2-pound weight. The grip houses a memory card and a large rechargeable battery that's CIPA-rated for up to 410 shots. On top along with the shutter release/zoom lever, power switch, and Mode dial are a one-touch record button for movies and one for quickly setting a burst mode.
On the back below the small but serviceable electronic viewfinder is a flip-out, rotating 3-inch LCD. To its left are the main controls for menu navigation and shooting. They're all well-spaced and easy to press, and there's a jog dial for quickly changing details like aperture, shutter speed, and exposure compensation. However, because of the abundant feature set it's all too easy to get lost trying to find a setting in Panasonic's menu system. As a challenge it's not insurmountable, but if you frequently make changes it can quickly become frustrating. However, there is a programmable function button and there's a button for direct access to ISO.
It seems you get a lot of extras with the FZ150, too. The rotating LCD is nice, but there's also the hot shoe on top for adding different flash units. There are conversion lenses and filters available for it, and a mic/remote socket on the left allows you to add those accessories as well. Panasonic even includes a lens hood.
Conclusion
If you're looking for a bridge camera, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ150 is one of the best you're going to find. The photo quality, while improved from its predecessor, still isn't quite good enough to earn this camera an Editors' Choice. But because of its great feature set, fast shooting performance, and many ways to improve its results, we'd definitely still recommend it.

Summary: Let me start off by saying that I use this camera primarily for it's manual features and I do not use the flash very often. The reason is that I found the auto bracketing system for exposure and white balance (the picture takes the same image three times, one at low exposure, one at mid, and one at high, and combines them into a single image) could produce brighter images in low light using a faster shutter speed than I could take in low light using a slower shutter speed. These speeds are based on my ability to keep my hand steady and take a picture without a tripod, and of course this camera has its limits before the flash is necessary. I did not get the "soap bubbles" effect that another user seemed to experience, though I have gotten that effect on other cameras for outside shots in high humidity and I don't think there is a whole lot the camera can do since the camera can't make water droplets not reflect the light from its flash.
The video quality is very very good. I was debating between buying the Panasonic TM900 with a separate still camera but I've been pretty satisfied with the video on the FZ150 that I'm just going to stick with this camera. It seems to have very low noise in low light and a big part of that is due to the fact that, not only can you adjust the ISO sensitivity while shooting video, but, if you set the camera to manual focus, you can slow the shutter speed down to 1/8th of a second. I really like that. The video is obviously a bit blurred but, if using a tripod, it is a great way to brighten the scene without increasing the ISO. With autofocus enabled, you can slow the shutter down to 1/30th of a second. The autofocus is pretty quick.
And that brings me to the one problem that annoys me. When shooting video in manual mode, the camera does a good job showing you how dark the image will look as you adjust the settings in real time. However, once you are recording, depending on the lighting conditions, the LCD screen will adjust in brightness to compensate for the scene. While this can be great, this freaked me out at first because I thought that it was also changing the exposure of the video being taken, but it does not. Sometimes. The brightness does change when you zoom in and out depending on the light, and I'm not sure if that's just the light flooding the lens but the increase in brightness happens in subtle but noticeable steps, not gradual.
Again, this seems to really happen while zooming, and this is while the camera is in manual video mode. The only way to get around this is to set the video mode to "Program AE", which is stupid considering I should be able to lock the exposure completely within the manual mode. In "Program AE" mode you cannot change the aperture or shutter and the LCD screen will still change brightness while the video does not. I have not been able to find a way to lock the LCD brightness in this regard. Also, while the LCD screen will darken while you increase the shutter speed in real time, it does nothing when changing the shutter speed while in manual photo mode. You have to press the shutter button half way down to preview the brightness at that setting. While that is not a big deal, it is an example of the kind of inconsistent performance this camera has between scenarios. While the camera is in manual focus, it is possible to blur the image while focusing beyond the infinity mark somehow...it's weird.
One reason why I chose this camera over the Canon SX40 HS was due to some reviews that mentioned how useless its starry sky 30 second exposure mode was. Unfortunately, the FZ150's starry sky mode is just as useless, being locked at 200 ISO. If you can change it, I haven't seen how. The low ISO lock meant that I was able to get far brighter images using the camera's regular manual mode (which can shoot a single exposure for up to 15 seconds) with a higher ISO.
Despite the odd issues with exposure changes in manual mode, which I can understand might be a deal breaker for a lot of people, I do intend to keep this camera because, for the way that I film and what I film, it shouldn't become that much of an issue all things considered. I also really like the 1/8th of a second shutter speed using manual focus. Plus, as someone who loves time lapse photography, the fact that I can plug in an intervalometer is reason enough for me to stick with it without going into a pricier DSLR. The white balance and exposure bracketing works well. For the price, this camera really is a good choice.
P.S., for low price if you're will buy this Digital Camera, I suggest you have to compare prices before you decide at: Compare2prices.info/DMC-FZ150K

A feature laden camera that produces mediocre results.
by rpcohen on October 21, 2011
Pros: This camera is well built, has lots of good controls and looks very professional and should appeal to users more interested in form than image quality.
Cons: Despite its great features, the one critical feature missing from this $500 camera is the ability to produce consistently good images. It's disappointing that a camera with such a well executed feature set is ultimately humbled by a mediocre sensor and pr

Summary: The inconsistent and compromised image quality reported for this camera along with its $500 price tag should have earned it no more than a 3 star rating. If one isn't concerned about image quality then there are many other cameras that cab get the job done for less money and may ultimately produce better images. If image quality is a top requirement then you may be better off looking elsewhere.

Great video, but not so great pics.

Pros: Flip out screen, crisp full HD, remote capable - lots of great sounding specs.
Cons: My old Canon G6 takes sharper pics then this camera. Too pricey for the pic quality.

Summary: I've used this camera for a month and my 5 year old Canon G6 still takes sharper shots then the FZ150. If you view the pics at 100% they look like crap.
At first I thought it was me, so I've read just about every forum and tried every combination of setting to try and get sharp pics. Nothing improved. So I chatted with panasonic, when I suggested the camera might be defective, they responded that I am the only thing defective - nice way to treat you customer.
So if your like me and crop down pics afterwards you won't be happy - noise is visible. If you just want print out your full pic on a 4x6 then it should look fine.
The video is great... which is the only reason I might keep this camera, but it looks like I need to move up to a dslr or over to a canon for the sharper pics.
I suggest you download other people's FZ150 pics off of photo sites before you buy so you know what your getting into.1 out of 1 users found this user opinion helpful.

Summary: I've been reviewing this camera for months before finally I brought 1. FZ150 prove himself to be an excellent camera, although it mean a 500 bucks off my pocket. I've use it in one occasion, namely an Explorace, where with single charge, I could manage to shoot more than 1500 pictures with all-the-time image stabilization ON. ya, 1.5k pictures, and it include some 60 full HD video, making a total space of 2-3GB. But ya, without any flash.
Anyhow, pictures quality, where most people claims to be a bit frustrating, is only applicable in low light mode, or night shoot, as all of the 1.5k pictures i've taken were in a v.good quality.
I am an amateur photographer, but as I was a carpenter, those 500g worth of mass of the camera is not a big problem for me. Zooming at telephoto + digital zoom + iZoom, (127X maybe)and I could still get an acceptable quality of both video and pictures, although can't beat the quality of some mobile phone video, perhaps. ( on the full zoom mode)
You won't be disappointed when buying this camera, as long as you don't received a pre-malfunction camera. :) -
Best choice for a camera I could have made!
by Ironman166 on February 12, 2012
Pros: The camera takes great picks on automatic. My very first pictures was outstanding. If you are looking for a great camera to grow into this is a good choice. The movie capture is also very good. Very happy with my purchase.
Cons: The only con I have found in the memory card location. I need to remove my tripod base to open the memory/battery door.
Summary: For someone wishing to take great pictures out of the box this camera is great. The price seems step, however, your friends and family will look better in the pictures ...

Excellent Camera! Terrific Value
by syzygymedia on December 23, 2011
Pros: Great Zoom, Great Pics, Pretty Good Size & Balance

Summary: I've had this camera for about two+ months. I bought it just in time for a video project requiring nearly straight to edit timeline. I shot in 640x480 and copied to Mac hard drive. Footage requires rendering in FCP, but was quick and the quality very good. Since I was still getting used to the camera while on project, I needed to ramp up quick to properly service my client. Thankfully most things were quite easy to find and logical. The only true downside I experienced--that I could not attribute to a lack of time using the camera--was the lack of ease-in and out on the zoom. It's kind of set for still-pics, zoom quick, stop quick; which isn't normally what you'd want for video. Other than that, for the $420 you can get this camera for, it is second to none!
