Panasonic lunches Lumix DMC-FZ150 with 24x superzoom and new lenses

Panasonic has announced what it calls the world’s first digital interchangeable power zoom lenses,  higher-end FZ150, introducing a 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.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ150

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 models are a step up from the successful FZ100,” said Panasonic Lumix group marketing manager, Alistair Robins. “They offer popular features such as Full HD AVCHD recording and a Leica lens as well as excellent creative control modes in both still and movie recording, and with a faster response time you will never miss that photo opportunity.”

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ150 features

• Motion Deblur Mode, which helps to prevent blur.

• Intelligent Handheld Nightshot Mode, which generates beautiful night scenery with illumination by layering multiple images shot consecutively.

• PHOTOfunSTUDIO 6.5 BD Edition Software makes it possible to sort and organize photos not only of those newly taken but also of those stored on the PC with quick start-up and fast read-in of images. Recorded videos can be edited with the Short Movie Story function and written into MPEG2 to burn onto a Blu-ray or DVD disc

Panasonic FZ150

The core of the Panasonic FZ150 is a 1/2.3-inch MOS sensor with an effective resolution of 12.1 megapixels, from a total of 12.5 megapixels. MOS sensors are usually faster than their more common CCD brethren, and the FZ150′s sensor bears this out with a swift full-resolution burst shooting rate of 12 frames per second if autofocus is disabled, and a still-commendable 5.5 frames per second with autofocus active. It also allows for progressive scan Full HD (1,920 x 1,080 pixel, aka 1,080p) video at a rate of 60 frames per second, saved using the AVCHD Progressive (MPEG-4 / H.264) format. Of course, the processor–a quad-core Venus Engine-branded unit–plays its own part in this speed, as well as in allowing an ISO sensitivity range of 100 to 3,200 equivalents (expandable to ISO 6,400 equivalent in High Sensitivity Auto mode).

The FZ150′s sensor sits behind a powerful 24x optical zoom lens with a 35mm-equivalent focal length range from a useful 25mm wide angle to a powerful 600mm telephoto for stills, and 28mm to 672mm for videos. Of course, with this much reach, mechanical image stabilization is a must, as you’d otherwise need shutter speeds in the region of 1/600-700th second or faster for blur-free images, which would restrict use to only ideal lighting conditions. The FZ150 doesn’t disappoint, not only including true optical image stabilization, but also providing what Panasonic refers to as an “Active” mode for video shooting, which takes advantage of the lower resolution with respect to still imaging, and thereby provides a greater degree of correction.

One of the most interesting new features is a 3D mode, in which the camera captures 20 images in a pan, and then selects the two most appropriate to combine into a single, 3D image, viewable on any MPO compatible device.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ150 price & availability

The Panasonic Lumix FZ150 will be available in black for a suggested retail price of $500 / €530 starting in late-September 2011.

Conclusion:

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ150 realizes 1920 x 1080 60p Full-HD AVCHD Progressive (MPEG-4 / H.264) format.  if you dig a little deeper in the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ150 video format, you will find that these Panasonic AVCHD video format won’t accepted by mac app and many portable devices, Doremisoft video converter for Mac lion comes in the right time, also worked as Panasonic AVCHD converter for mac which can convert Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ150 video mac to MP4, DV, HDV, MOV, 3GP, H.264 etc.

Canon Vixa HF G10

Canon Vixia HF G10 camcorder featured vastly improved low light capabilities and its performance in bright light was nearly as strong as its predecessor, the HF S21. The only downside of the HF G10′s new sensor was that the camcorder captured slightly less sharp video, and the fact that it cannot take high-resolution still images. These are minor setbacks, however, and the improved low light performance of the G10 makes these other issues trivial.  The Canon Vixia HF G10, however, has more features and even better performance than its predecessor and that makes it a better choice for pros or advanced users. The set of controls on the Canon Vixia HF G10 is unprecedented in the consumer camcorder field, although we weren’t crazy about the interface for adjusting certain functions.

Canon Vixia HF G10 Pro’s

Class leading image quality in bright and low light

Native 24p

Bountiful manual controls

High quality glass

Limited battery life requires the purchase of additional packs

Basic editing software included

Powerhouse computer and software needed to handle large video files

Touchscreen LCD is stubborn at times
