Panasonic DMC-FX150 - the 14 mega-pixel camera

Panasonic DMC-FX150


Panasonic has unveiled the pocket-friendly Lumix DMC-FX 150 point-and-shoot digital camera which packs a mammoth 14.7 megapixels, making it the highest number of megapixels offered in a compact camera.

And there I was thinking my Pentax Optio 7.1MP camera was impressive!

The latest model to join Panasonic's Lumix FX Premium range of digital cameras is equipped with a 28mm wide-angle lens featuring F2.8 brightness and a 3.6x optical zoom, a Venus Engine IV allowing 330 pictures (CIPA) per battery charge, a new multi-exposure function, a 2.7-inch large Intelligent LCD screen, and many more.

One of the highlights of the camera is its iA(intelligent auto) mode. Adding a new AF Tracking function, the iA mode serves as a combination of functions that makes it easy for anyone to take beautiful photos. In iA mode the camera does all the work, activating Mega O.I.S. (optical image stabilizer), Intelligent ISO Control, Intelligent Scene Selector, Face Detection, and Intelligent Exposure. This leaves the user free to simply compose the shot and press the shutter button, with the assurance that the image will be clear, beautiful and properly exposed.

With the new AF Tracking function, the user can “lock” the focus onto a moving subject. The camera then automatically tracks the subject as it moves, keeping it in focus without the user having to hold the shutter button halfway down. This makes it easier to capture the perfect moment clearly and in sharp focus when shooting images of a child, pet, sport or any scene with moving subjects and spur-of-the-moment action.


Intelligent Scene Selector, which automatically selects from five Scene modes - Macro, Portrait, Scenery, Night Portrait, and Night Scenery - that best suits the shooting situation are available in the DMC-FX150.

The Panasonic DMC-FX150 is priced at £299.99 (AU$600) which isn't cheap, but bragging rights for having the most megapixels must come at a cost. [dpreview.com]
