Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS15 12MP Digital Camera with 5x MEGA Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.7 inch LCD (Blue) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Got the camera 2 days ago from Costco.Coupon brought the price down from $179.00 to $149.00.Took WEEKS of research before I decided on this one.Also at that price I got a 2MB card and a very nice camera case included.

It is well built, feels sturdy and not easily breakable

Wide Angle lens and 5x Zoom is very good compared to other point and shoots which have neither a 5x zoom or a wide angle

Digital zoom can go all the way to 20x or even 35x with 5 MP used.Not very clear but useful to have if you need it.

The pictures come out VERY clean with good colors, clarity and lighting.

Size is small enough for a pocket

Video is good quality...(wish you could zoom in video mode)

The IA button which basically presets scene, face recognition, lighting etc is GREAT if you dont want to press a hundred buttons to set up the shot.Just ONE button and your set to go!

Flash is a littttttle on the weak side but still good enough for anything I need.

LCD screen is VERY clear and automatically goes lighter or darker accoring to the lighting you are in...and EXCELLENT feature.Also has a setting for the LCD screen if you are putting the camera over your head for a crowd scene that the LCD can still be seen at that angle...I LOVE that feature as well

Lots of little extras in the hardware that I still need to explore....

Overall I could NOT be more pleased..the write ups online are good and my experience so far (I have taken a few dozen pictures to test it) is also very good.If you want a mid priced camera that can compete with the big boys on zoom, wide angle and picture quality...while at the same time having a small enough camera to carry in your pocket..this is DEF it.
