Launched as part of Panasonic's Lumix line, the FZ150 is particularly appealing to photography enthusiasts who seek advanced features without the bulk of a DSLR.

At the heart of the DMC-FZ150K is a 12.1-megapixel High Sensitivity MOS sensor, which excels in producing high-quality images, even in low-light conditions.
