good underwater camera cover

the cover is water tight. I was using my small panasonic digital camera. The camera kept on moving while under water. It's kinda have to get use to it underwater. The cover wants to keep on float on top of the water. I think it's what you paid for.

Editorial Review :

Equipped with 14.7 megapixels, the new Panasonic FX150 boasts a 28mm wide-angle Leica DC Vario-Elmarit lens with F2.8 brightness and 3.6x optical zoom. The FX150's manual controls and creative-shooting features distinguish it from many of its ultra-compact competitors. For instance, the Manual Exposure mode lets users choose the shutter speed, giving the freedom to render artistic images of ordinary scenes. The multi-exposure function superimposes up to three consecutively shot images together while the user views the previous image on the LCD, creating a surrealistic effect that cannot be achieved with a single image alone. Furthermore, the manual bracketing function includes typical exposure and adds new color bracketing to capture color, monochromatic and sepia shots of an image simultaneously.

Nice camara

Great camera with excellent battery life and rechargeable lithiom-ion battery. Most cameras have 10 or 12 MP this one has 14.7 the photo resolution is amazing. The face tracking feature works well. There is a slight lag before flash though which can cause problems when taking photos in low light settings. I would have given it a 5 star rating if it weren't for the lag in the flash causing problems with night shots. Daytime photos are spectacular though. I think this camera is a great value for the money and highly recommend it.

Panasonic failure

I bought this camera for the great features, e.g., 14 Mpix, manual exposure mode, and RAW file capabilities. The first one I received produced poorly focused and extremely noisy images. I quickly returned it for a replacement. The replacement was substantially better, but it still exhibited serious noise in the images. I have an SLR camera that produces much cleaner pictures at ISO 3200 than the Panasonic did at ISO 100. Additionally, the manual exposure mode does not allow incremental aperture settings, just maximum and minimum f-stops. I returned this unit for a refund. I don't know if the ones I received were from a bad run, or if they are typical of this model's performance, but I definitely would not recommend this camera. On the plus side, Willoughby's was very responsive to my problems, and were quick to send the replacement unit, and refund my money on the second unit.

Great pocket camera under $300 for beginner & professional.

This camera offers many features not found in other pocket cameras of it's size and price. For the beginner all the typical point-and-shoot automatic modes are available. As this beginner advances in capability the camera offers many additional simple controls that he/she can experiment with to improve their photos.

For the advanced photographer the camera offers choices like manual settings along with an ability to record photos in RAW. Additionally Panasonic includes SILKYPIX a software program that works very well in editing RAW photos. It has been my experience that these features are very important for an advanced/professional photographer yet are rarely available in pocket cameras.

Couple the above features with a LEICA lens and image stabilization and 14megapixels and you have one heck of a camera for the size and cost. This is truly a professionals pocket camera.

Good small camera, but only if you use RAW and good NR

I have owned several Panasonic cameras and the JPEGs on the FX150 are disappointing. They seem murky and noisy compared to other small Panasonic cameras. If you want to use JPEG I do not recommend this camera.

RAW mode with Lightroom 3 is a different story. The tonality of the RAW files is great, much better then with JPEG and as good or better than any JPEGs I have seen from other small cameras. There is still noise, but Lightroom 3 can do an excellent job of filtering it out.

I found Chromatic Aberration in the RAW files as well, but a simple adjustment or two in Lightroom 3 takes care of that. By putting the CA adjustments and the noise reduction adjustments together in a preset, I can easily process the RAW files when they come into Lightroom.

I really like the camera now, but it took upgrading to Lightroom 3 to make the images from this camera really shine. If you want a small camera and want RAW, this one is worth a look. It's still the smallest, lightest camera you can buy with RAW. Just make sure your RAW processing software is up to date.

My Panasonic 14.7 Megapixels camera

This is the second Panasonic camera that I have purchase from Amazon.com. The first camera I brought was DMC-FX100 digital camera and I used it to take out pictures for my job and also for my hobbie and it give me great pictures, so when I saw Amazon advertised the DMC-FX150 I told myself I have to purchase that! and I did not regret, it has a little more features than the DMC-FC100 and the opertion is similar to the DMC-FC100. From my exprience with the DMC-FX100 I know the DMC FX150 will not let me down.

camera bag

I returned this product, as it was too large for my use. It was promoted with the memory card for my camera, but truly was not a match, oh, well. It worked out alright in the end, and I bought the correct size from the same store. No big deal.

WAY too big for Panasonic Lumix cameras!

Why is this advertised as a case for Panasonic Lumix cameras? The case is so huge you could fit about 10 of them in the main pouch! Simply WAY too big! Even with the camera in the side compartment of the main pouch (which only takes up 20% of the main pouch's space) the camera is loose. The divider also only comes up half-way in the main pouch, so if the case were turned upside down the camera could easily pass over it into the larger space.

I have a Lumix DMC-LX3, one of the larger Lumix cameras Panasonic makes.

The camera is 4.2"L x 2.5"H x 2"W
This case is 9"L x 6.5"H x 6"W !!!!

This would be a great case for a camcorder or DSLR camera, but it is at least 8x too big for the cameras it is recommended for. If you have a Panasonic Lumix camera (or any pocket-sized camera) this case will be way too huge unless you have a wide angle lens and other very large accessories. You can put the camera, adapter, several batteries and memory cards in this case and still have a gigantic unused empty space!

A reasonably sized Lumix case with all the accessories when put inside this case would STILL leave a big empty space.

Did I mention it's huge?

Quality camera bag, great price

I got this bag for my Lumix DMC-FZ28 camera and accesories. It's more than big enough for the camera, lens hood, battery back and cables. The strap is comfortable too. Very pleased with this purchase!
