Panasonic introduces a the new top-model to its super-zoom Lumix FZ-Series. The new Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ150 digital cameras is fully equipped with a 25mm ultra wide-angle Leica DC Vario-Elmarit lens and a powerful 24x optical zoom (25-600mm) available for shooting both still pictures and Full HD videos. Additionally, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ150 has two of Panasonic’s newest features; newly advanced Nano Surface Coating technology which helps minimize light reflection that causes ghost and flare and the new 3D Photo Mode. Packing a powerful zoom lens, a host of functions and manual control in a compact body, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ150 is highly versatile, perfect for advanced amateur photographers. The already powerful 24x optical zoom can increase its power to 32x equivalent with the Intelligent Zoom function. Taking advantage of Intelligent Resolution technology, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ150 maintains the picture quality even when using a digital zoom. With the powerful zoom drawing distant objects near, and the 25mm ultra wide angle lens capturing approximately 196% wider angle of view compared with a standard 35mm camera - the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ150 is ideal for shooting dynamic landscapes or indoor group portraits. As the top-end model of Lumix’s popular FZ series, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ150 combines a new 12.1-megapixel MOS sensor and the renowned Venus Engine ensuring high performance image recording in terms of both sensitivity and speed. The newly developed Multi-process Noise Reduction applies optimum noise reduction according to the brightness of the picture. Both high frequency noise that occurs in the dark part and low frequency noise in the light part are suppressed even as they happen in a picture. As a result, images recorded in low-lit situations are now extremely clear with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ150.
