The Panasonic Lumix FS15 is an entry level digital camera with 12 megapixels and optical zoom. The camera measures 97 x 54.4 x 21.7mm and the zoom lens retracts fully into the camera keeping its small size.
The Panasonic DMC FS15 is slightly more advanced than the other basic pocket models in the Panasonic range. The main difference is that this camera has a wide angle lens which comes in very handy for landscape shots. Another enhancement to this ... ...with other models in the Panasonic range this camera offers face detection technology and image stabilisation.

Advantages: Good camera for entry range Disadvantages: not many
...couple of the major brands, Panasonic seemed to be coming out pretty high as they used the leica lens which was one of only good things could be heard of.
The IA (Intelligent Auto) feature is amazing, as the camera really does pretty much all the work for you, and all you have to do is take the snap, you do have the option of taking much more control over you photo you take, but this is something I have attempted but as of yet have not been able ... ...next to nothing now days, (couple of quids for a 1 GB) it made it even more appealing than let’s say Sony or Olympus.
The lithium ion battery is great and fully charged you can easily get in the excess of 200 shots, which is more than enough for a day out.
With 12 mega pixels I am sure you wont have any problems with losing picture quality if you decided you decided to enlarge your picture to super size.
All in all a great camera and available ...
