Get the LX3Date: 2008-12-24 Rating: 4 out of 10If you can afford the price difference and don't mind the extra bulk of the protruding lens, get the DMC-LX3. You will be SO much happier. It's the bigger sibling to this camera, and all the pros are buying it and raving about it. I returned FX-150 and bought the LX3 when I experienced the poor low light performance and random blurry spots on the FX-150 lens myself. LX3 has full manual controls, MUCH wider angle (which I LOVE!), and MUCH, MUCH better lower light performance thanks to its f2.0 lens and larger sensor.
---A NOTE ON 720p VIDEO:---
Don't let the promise of 720p video fool you. The movies recorded on the FX-150 or the LX3 have TERRIBLE audio. It's like cell phone quality. It's really hard to hear consonants or what people are saying. It's really a shame because the video it records is pretty decent. It looks overly sharpened, though, and probably only has about 500 lines of resolution or less, not 720. Also, you cannot zoom OR refocus while filming, which means you have to stand rooted in one place, and so does your subject, which really sucks in practice. (Video/audio quality on the LX3 is exactly the same.)

BewertungenNoisy pictures, gimped raw capability, glorious movie capabilityDatum 2008-12-06 Rang: 6 von 10This camera has the capability to be a legend. The lens is tack sharp (besides the fact that it only has two aperture settings), and pictures look great in the day time. The auto white balance performance is better than my LX3, and the RAW capability is very cool (now with support in Adobe Photoshop Raw!). The 720/24p video is more than excellent, although it would have been nicer if it were H.264 video. The camera looks great in silver (it is actually a bit of a gunmetal color).
That's where the good ends.
You can see noise even at the lowest ISO setting, and chroma noise renders even ISO 800 images unusable for anything except thumbnails. Before you solely blame the minuscule sensor, remember that Ricoh Caplios have a smaller size sensor that they have been packing more pixels on for a few years now. The high ISO output from a Ricoh Caplio may be lacking in detail, but it doesn't have awful chroma noise infecting every inch of your photograph. Yes, I know the Caplios top out at 10 megapixels, and this camera tosses 15 insane megapixels, but still the density on the Caplio R10 is nearly identical! There's no reason the FX150 should be so underperforming.
The RAW capability is nice to have. However, Panasonic saw it fit to make sure you can't EV bracket in raw. Speaking of bracketing, you can't do +2 and -2 EV bracketing either, which I feel shames both the FX150 and the LX3 (and I'm not the only one who feels this way). Another issue with RAW is that the dynamic range of the camera is so narrow that it really doesn't matter that it is there.
This camera could have been a classic, and I really want to like it. But unfortunately, it doesn't win my heart.Wonderful CameraDatum 2008-11-26 Rang: 10 von 10An absolutely wonderful camera with awesome video quality and picture quality. very compact and discreet.Best 14MP camera Datum 2008-11-22 Rang: 10 von 10Before I bought this camera I just bought a Sony t300. It was a crappy camera the pictures was so bad. The Sony T300 camera with the extras cost 400. So much money for so bad pictures.If your looking for a camera with smile ang face features and very nice GUI then buy sony. But dont expect good quality pictures. So Sony never again! So, i was thinking of buying a Canon SD990. But before I buy it I checked the net for some reviews on it. It was not a bad camera but for a 14mp it wasnt what the reviewers expected. The macro was bad and also when you use high ISO. Then I decided to get this Panasonic FX150. After few tests of the camera I was amazed on the cameras crisp pictures. On Macro shots youll be amazed this camera does.
So, Overall this camera is the best buy for me. And it only cost much cheaper than Sony and Canon. And teh best thing is the 4gb memory is free.Fairway PhilDatum 2008-11-04 Rang: 8 von 10Camera has all the bells and whisles-I don't think the manual is sufficient enough to help u distinguish between all the really good features. it's my fourth Lumix so u probably guessed I like the mfg.-has a good mega pixel rating at 14.7- get the case it sometimes turns on in my pocket with other junk nudging it. If you have large fingers, the camera may be cumbersome to use especially in the one handed mode. Screen always needs to be cleaned because the camera is so small with the screen taking almost all the back side. Screen is good in all except facing bright sun. I believe there is an adjustment for such, but I have not got around to that in the manual. Just came back from Caribbean and the electronic markets down there have not seen this model yet. I believe the pricing thru amazon was competitive. The face tracking recognition feature is cool. I'm a click and shoot photographer and do not want to wait to change settings or go to manual mode to get the perfect picture. I'll shot 10 picts to get one good one and maybe fix it up in PhotoShop. Flash seems better than other comprobables. Batter last a long time on one charge. Charger is compact and takes almost no room in the luggage. Shot over 500 picts in this last week's trip. A lot of good features more than the average Joe or Jill would want.
I like it and would recommend it. Get the case!
