Panasonic Lumix DMC-fs15 versus fs25: Does any know if there are differences between the Lumix dmc-fs15 and the fs25 other than the price and lcd screen size

According to my research there aren't very many differences between the 2 models, which is a bit confusing as to why there are 2 models that are so closely designed but I am just a consumer, what do I know. It appears from my side-to-side comparison that the main differences are going to be: *A little better flash for the FS25 *Faster and 1 more shot for the Continuous shot bursts *A more in depth metering sensor for the FS25 offering more detection points *The 25 weighs a bit more and has a slightly larger LCD (2.7 vs 3.0inches) And the FS25 of course costs approximately $20-50 more than the FS15 The largest difference to me is the design of the body, I really love the little hand grip that is molded into the front of the FS25 body, to me that makes a big difference when taking one handed shots, as I often do. Other than that everything is exactly identical between the 2 I would spend the extra $20 myself but that is just me Hope that helps Happy Hunting

I think I will buy the Panasonic Lumix ZS3 hybrid camera when more positive reviews are available, probably in April. It has stereo sound recording, usable zoom while taking video and 3" 460K resolution LCD. The only minor drawback with it is it does not support manual mode. There is no RAW mode too at this time, but that's software and they can easily add that later in new firmware. It also costs about $50 more than the SX200.Of course the SX1 IS is better, but that is a different class of camera and too bulky for light traveling.

http://reviews.bestbuy.com/answers/3545/product/2433169/panasonic-lumix-fh25-16-1-megapixel-digital-camera-blue-questions-answers/questions.htm According to Panasonic Answers, on the bb forum, the camera is identical with the main difference being the A/V cable and which retailer carries the product. Amazon often compares prices with other retailers, so the FH25k might be cheaper due to a competitor that carries the FH25K and fewer competitors carry the FH24K. Note that Amazon ran the 24K as a gold box item earlier at $99.99.

I think both are great cameras...Canon seems to perform a little better, but the difference is very slight, this, according to the reviews I read...I think the bottom line is; Canon performs a little better, the LCD screen can be moved, and it has a hot shoe for a better flash unit, but Panasonic has RAW format and HD video, and also, the zoom can be used with the video format, something most cameras don't have...I guess since both are equally good, you should buy the one you feel more comfortable with, or you like the most...you can't go wrong with either one...Good luck!!

This is my second Lumix and I only used it for a short while and gave it to my granddaughter. I think I had the same thing happen and fixed the flash part by playing around on the menu settings. When I got my first Panasonic about 3 years ago it was highly rated for taking fast in low lighting. I drop my small cameras alot and that took it's toll. That's why I won't pay over $150 for a camera and besides they change technology so fast. But I was disappointed in this camera because the focus is off in some of the shots. So I read new reviews and bought a Canon Power Shot ELPH340 HS this time. I am happier with the Canon but did pay more. Lee

I have just purchased the Lumix FZ200 camera. While I have not yet tried out the feature of slow motion video, their literature advertises what you are asking. I think that from several days experience playing with the FZ200, you should consider it instead of the FZ150. Page 125 of the FZ200 manual covers the recording the high speed motion picture.

I am looking to buy my first camera in 7 years. I too am looking for something a little more portable than a DSLR. But I want a camera that effortlessly takes great pics. I am torn between the new Panasonic ZS20 and the Panasonic DMC LX5. If anyone could give a good compare contrast I would be glad to listen. Thanks

Late to respond, but my previous camera was a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ18, a point and shoot camera which I thought took outstanding pictures...until I bought the DMC-FZ150. Holy cow! What a jump in performance that even an unsavvy enthusiast like myself can actually use. I am, however, shocked by the price increase. I had to buy it online because it wasn't available locally but with the reviews and my past experience with Panasonic, I took a deep breath and did it, purchasing it through Amazon for $439 in early April 2012. I consider it top echelon of the "amateur" use cameras.

I do not know how it compares to the dmc zs8. In my research I found that the zs25 was a newer version of the zs20. A few people seemed to prefer the zs20, however, I am extremely happy with my zs25. It has 20X optical zoom and is small enough to put in a pouch to carry on my belt anytime. These were my major criteria, though I preferred also to have a viewfinder. The only camera with a viewfinder that would go in a small belt pouch was a a Fuji camera, but its zoom was only 4X, so I sacrificed having the viewfinder in order to get a belt pouch size camera with the 20X zoom. My zs25 if fantastic. It comes with a brief user manual, so if you want a complete user manual you would have to print it from your computer, and it 150 pages long though I only printed about 100 pages. Lastly, I decided that the belt pouch recommended by Amazon to go with the camera seemed a bit tight on the dimensions, so I bought my pouch from B&H Photo on line (free shipping) the pouch that they recommended for that same camera. It had about 1/4 extra inch on the width dimension that works just fine, enabling the camera to slip out of the pouch easily when I pull on it. Hope that helps. The zs25 is a great camera. The 20X zoom means a lot to me for a small carry anywhere camera. I think that series by Panansonic may be the only ones available with these two features (hi zoom and belt pouch size) combined, at a great price.

To whom it may concern,On Google type DMC-ZS8 to get the characteristics, then do the same with DMC-ZS25. According to me, the best camera built by Panasonic was DMC-TZ5.A. du Mont, Montréal

I have ordered one but have not received it yet. According to the following review: http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/panasonic/dmc_zs15-review It has the following: Here's what you'll find in the box with the ZS15: The 12.1 effective Megapixel Lumix DMC-ZS15 digital camera DMW-BCG10 lithium-ion battery AC-to-USB adapter Wrist strap USB cable CD-ROM featuring PhotoFunStudio 8.0 Advanced Edition and LoiLoScope trial 28 page basic manual (printed) + full manual (on CD-ROM) There is not a separate charger. You charge the battery in the camera itself.

You should know that this replaces the fz-40. Go to the Panasonic website for info. Better yet, go to Dpreview and see what they have to say. Not worth the upgrade.

Just got D- Lux5 used, from Leica blog it is considered better camera. Better pic quality etc. Considered a magic camera by some. Don't upgrade firmware to version 2. Many feel the version 1 is better. Google to read threads.
