Panasonic DMC-FZ150K 12.1 MP Digital Camera with CMOS Sensor and 24x Optical Zoom (Black),5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely love the FZ150!, November 17, 2011

First off...I'll leave the technical stuff to the professionals...I fall in the middle "photography" wise, I'm not an beginner and am in no way a professional. I don't care about the video part of the camera as I bought this for photography, not movie making. I had a Canon S2IS for a longtime and loved that camera...then was given the Canon S5IS and fell out of love. I researched a lot of cameras and kept coming back to the FZ150.

I've had my Panasonic FZ150 for a week now and absolutely love it. Awesome macro, great creative modes, the Intelligent Auto is nice, zoom is great. The camera menu is very easy to move around in. I love the weight, much lighter than the cameras that take 4 AA batteries (really! I am AMAZED at how light this is compared to the Canon S5IS)! Feels natural in the hand, buttons all in the right places and easy to reach. I know this is "fluff"...but this is the first camera I've had that the lens cap stayed PUT!

I haven't had to "edit" or process any of my photos in photoshop yet...they've come out sharp, crisp, and just beautiful, if I say so myself! LOL!

I'm extremely happy with this camera...will definitely keep this one for a long time.
