A Perfect Little Camera
This is our second Panasonic Lumix (The first one was stolen). My wife bought a Canon to replace our stolen Panasonic, but I liked our old one so much I took back the Canon (with her permission)and bought this one. It is small, light, big display, a variety of settings for those who like to tinker, a few modes for those who just want to take pictures without messing with settings, a decent zoom, and beautiful pictures. I've only had it for a little while, but the battery life has been great; we'll see how long it lasts. I would recommend this camera to anyone who wants great pictures with the option to tinker for a very decent price.

Great value, solid camera
Compared to my old 6 MP Canon, this camera takes noticeably better photos. Its flash doesn't wash out photos too much, but it's very very good at taking low-light photos, and I almost never need to use the flash. Image stabilization is really useful when taking heavily-zoomed or low-light photos. Its wide-angle (fully zoomed-out) is wider than most cameras of this class. Its "intelligent auto" mode is really useful for saving you the trouble of choosing different scenery modes. Battery life has been great, and it gives good advance warning when it's running low (unlike my old Canon). The lens could be a bit nicer and the images a bit clearer, but it's not an SLR, and it's not expensive. I'd say especially for the price, it exceeded my expectations.

Great Camera Great Price
I purchased this camera last September in preparation for a vacation to New Orleans. I was replacing my 4 year old Cannon 4.0 MP digital camera and was looking for a compact digital with a big screen and long battery life. I had spent a bunch of time looking at reviews and finally decided on this Panasonic. I did get a case, but often I just placed it in one pocket and my Blackberry in another. I was good to go...
I used the "Intelligent Auto" setting almost exclusively and occasionally switched the auto flash off at times for different effects. The pictures were fantastic which was not a surprize given the 12 MP and the auto settings adjusting to a very wide range of lighing conditions. Cameras now in this class should all be fine, but this model is the lightest I could find with the biggest screen. I was also happy to stay with the Panasonic brand as I still use and love my 5 year old Panasonic PV GS120 video recorder.
I did not use or need the software as uploading to my MacBook and PC was a snap. I was not expecting the videos I took of the street music to turn out well, but I was happily surprized! The sound was not bad either. Make sure that you get at least a 4 GP SD card, but having an internal flash storage in addition to the SD card is a nice touch. This camera like many others have a boat load of features that you will never use; so ease of use, picture quality and battery life are my priorties. I have not yet scratched the screen which is a surprize given that I seldom used the case I bought.
Some reviews complained about a delay between shots, but I never noticed any performance issues that prevented me from snapping photos at will. The menus are clear and the fonts are big which has very welcome to me. You will not be diapppointed. The blue color is cool.

A better camera for the $? Hard if possible to find.
I give this camera a 4.5, but half scores aren't possible.
I'll try to be brief.
Pros
Lens/picture quality-Wonderful contrast and color, but not nearly as sharp as the Fuji E900 that I own. (But what 35 mm amateur zoom, much less P&S lens is anywhere close at that lens)?
Macro mode
Size
Exposure ( with and without flash)
Great auto modes
Cons
Rather weak flash (guide number)
AF speed and accuracy (Not the best for sorting out subject, tracking of movement is so-so, but overall above average for a digital P&S. I'm spoiled by my Canon SLRs).
Noise at ISO 800
Summary
Want a fantastic camera that can go everywhere with you, gives you excellent overall picture quality under differing conditions, don't need extreme wide or telephoto lengths and you can put up with so-so AF speed and accuracy? The FS15 is the camera to get.

Panasonic Cameras HistoryPanasonic Corporation (formerly known as Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.) is a multinational corporation based in Kadoma, Japan.
Panasonic was founded in 1918 by Konosuke Matsushita. The company was first selling duplex lamp sockets.
In 1931 began the production of radios. But earlier, in 1927, it produced a bicycle lamp, and it was their first product marketed under the brand name National – meaning for people, for nation. The production of road and touring bicycles and their components composed a substantial portion of the goods manufactured by National/Panasonic Corporation from 1945 through the end of the 1980s.
In 1955, the company labeled its export audio speakers "PanaSonic", which was the first time it used its "Panasonic" brand name. This name was created from the elements "pan" meaning "all" combined with "sonic" meaning "sound”.
After Konosuke Matsushita traveled to the United States in 1961, Panasonic began producing television sets for the U.S. market under the Panasonic brand name, and expanded the use of the brand to Europe in 1979. The company began opening its plants around the world. It quickly developed a reputation for its reliable products - televisions, radios, and home appliances.
In the 1980-s, Panasonic continued to produce <... More About Panasonic Cameras |
