The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ150 is the new flagship model in Panasonic’s FZ range of superzoom bridge cameras. It replaces the FZ100 and comes hot on the heels of the cheaper, but very similarly specified, FZ48.
for £120 more than the latter we find a camera with a vari-angle (adjustable) LCD screen, a definite advantage for those low or high angle shots when you can’t easily otherwise get an eye level. It uses a 460k dot, 3-inch screen but there's also a lower resolution 201k dot electronic viewfinder (EVF), located just above the screen.
Though enthusiasts will enjoy at least having the choice of using an EVF, unfortunately it didn’t quite jut out far enough to prevent our nose rubbing up against the screen below when pressing an eye level with the viewfinder. Incidentally, although a button is provided for switching between using the EVF or LCD to compose or review images, a more fluid transition still would have been provided by a built-in eye sensor. Admittedly this may have added to the cost/bulk.
