Good camera for the price, April 9, 2006
Reviewer: E. Gassen
This camera takes good pictures, I have owned it for over a year. There is
a lot of noise if you use the ISO over 100, but upping the ISO doesn't add
any more light either. It just makes more noise. That and the lack of a
hot shoe were the only problems I've ever had with it. That being said, I
am now selling mine because I purchased an SLR, but it is a really great
camera for an advanced amateur.

Great Camera But..., June 24, 2005
Reviewer: Erik J. Malvick "Erik Malvick"
At this point, you may be better off buying Panasonics FZ5, FZ20, or FZ4
instead...
That being said, all of Panasonics FZ series cameras are similar.
Specifically, you'll find the FZ15 is nearly identical to the FZ20. The
big differences are that the FZ15 is 4MP, does not record sound, and does
not have a hot shoe while the FZ20 has those features and 5MP capability.
That being said, the FZ15 is still an excellent camera. 4MP is more than
enough to get you a good 8 x 10, and the 4 x 6's are excellent. The zoom
on the camera makes the camera awesome. I took photos at a baseball game
and felt like I was right there with the batter when I was sitting in the
bleachers in the outfield. The noise doesn't seem nearly as bad as people
let on. The full range of manual features is nice to have when needed, but
the automatic features are sufficient most of the time. I do like the
manual focus option that the FZ4 and FZ5 don't have, but this camera is
bigger than those two, and most people don't need the manual focus. I also
like the ability to attach additional filters and lens.
The drawbacks are that the camera does not have an optical viewfinder. The
viewfinder is electronic, which is challenging in dark situations, and
with the manual focus is hard to lock in without that snap that an optical
viewfinder can give. The camera can be challenging indoors as well. It can
be tough to get the shot you want but not impossible once you get
experienced.
Overall, this is an excellent camera. I would definitely recommend. I only
give the but at the beginning because one will find that the FZ20 has come
down to a similar price range and offers a few extra features. The 5MP
alone gives you that extra ability to crop a shot a bit back to 4MP or
print even larger photos. The FZ4 and FZ5 are good options if you would
like a smaller camera. Choose any Panasonic, and you probably won't be
wrong.

Very nice. I have owned the camera for a little over a month now. It is my
first digital. It's easy to use. Fabulous optical zoom. I especially like
the many different settings you can use for overriding the auto functions
(aperature, white balance, focus, shutter). I used to have a Canon AE1
many years ago and this camera is an absolute joy, especially for the
price.
