I watched the video of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS15 12MP Digital Camera. In one of the reviews they said it does not have a viewing window. How do you know what you are filming or photographing?

Comment on Is a Lithium-ion rechargeable battery pack for a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8 long lived enough for travel use? by miseb

Panasonic further states that as of the release date of this firmware, there are no authorized 3rd party batteries available for use in the DMC-TZ7/DMC-ZS3. If you install v 1.2 and use a non-Panasonic battery in this camera, it should be obvious that they will no longer work. There is no word about the ability to roll-back to previous firmware versions. Wait for a subsequent firmware – one that actually offers a real benefit (did I hear someone say “RAW” output or a Fluorescent white balance setting?) to exchange for a reason to toss the inexpensive 3rd party batteries.

Comment on Can a Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ7K 7.2MP Digital Camera use other AA rechargeable batteries? by twisteddrum5

Use the lithium Ion energizer batteries, they’ll last a heck of a lot longer.

If they are rechargeable make sure they are NiMH.

Comment on Is the panasonic lumix g1 camera good but complicated ? by BL

Panasonic Lumix G1 is a good camera that take good picture quality. If you are really want into photography i think it is not too hard to learn or take a class.

but if you worry about that try getting advance point & shoot camera to learning with, Panasonic FZ35, great zoom camera with manual mode.

DO NOT buy the tz-3. It is indeed nice and small, but I’ve owned one for 5 days and was then able to return it, for cash (yes, a nice store). Why did I do this? Because the photos this camera takes are so noisy, and so often not quite in focus, that you end up with a HUGE disappointment!

So now, what do you want? If you want the flexibility, and an 18x zoom, I would not go for the Finepix, but instead for the Panasonic FZ-18 (which does not have all the issues of the TZ-3, and has an 18x zoom, 8mp, manual adjustements, stabilisation, etc).

If you want the portability, I think you should then settle for say a Canon IXUS, some models start at 28mm equivalent.

Finally, if you really want to do a lot of "poor lighting" photos, and without flash, then an FZ-18 or an IXUS will do the trick but then results won’t be very good quality as soon as you hit ISO 200 to 400. The only camera that will take good quality photos in low light, no flash, is a DSLR – but this has vast implications (budget, size, weight, need to exchange lenses, poor macro capability unless you buy very expensive lenses, lesser zoom range unless you buy expensive lenses, etc.).

I have owned a FZ-18 for nearly a month now. I am very happy with the lens (18x zoom starting at 28m, stabilised), with the in-camera correction of distorsions or aberrations (so you see pretty much no distorsions at 28mm), with the macro (down to 0.4 inch), with the quick autofocus (and ability to customise the AF points), with the full Manual settings if need be, with the easy menus, and with "live view" ie you can compose the shot on screen (something only the high end dslrs can do, and their kits start at over 1’500 dollars). All of this with a package that remains portable enough, that you can always have it with you, say in the small pocket of an Easypack backpack (which would not be the case with a dslr).

The only thing I am less happy with, is the image quality from about 400 ISO and up – oh you still get quite decent shots, that work in small format, but it’s not pristine quality.

hope this helps
