Samples

The following images were taken with a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ150 in Program mode. The FZ150 was updated to firmware v1.0 and set to its best quality 12 Megapixel resolution with Auto White Balance. Image stabilisation was enabled for all these handheld shots. Note prior to updating the firmware to v1.0 I made a gallery of sample images using the v0.2 firmware – you can still view these for reference in my FZ150 v0.2 sample images. The images in both galleries were taken at roughly the same time of day under roughly similar conditions.

All of the images below are available to download in larger or their original formats for analysis. Click on the desired image to access the files at Flickr.

Note: you may wish to open a number of galleries for direct comparison of detail and noise: Canon PowerShot SX30 IS, Sony Cyber-shot HX100V and Panasonic Lumix FZ47 / FZ48.

Panasonic Lumix FZ150 v0.2 sample images

The following images were taken with a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ150 in Program mode. The FZ150 was running firmware version 0.2 and was set to its best quality 12 Megapixel resolution with Auto White Balance. Image stabilisation was enabled for all these handheld shots. Note I have retested the FZ150 with the latest v1.0 firmware and you can find examples taken under similar conditions at a similar time at my FZ150 sample images page. I’ve kept the v0.2 samples here for reference.
