For a pocket camera the Panasonic DMC FX150 has a large number of megapixels at 14.7 megapixels. This gives you the chance to consider cropping your photos or increasing the amount of zoom available by taking advantage of a feature called extra zoom. When you use extra zoom as you lower the number of megapixels you use for a photo the amount of zoom increases.
The DMC FX150 also has a basic manual exposure mode. This feature is rare for a pocket camera and can help to give you a little extra control over the way your final photos look. You also have the option to shoot in fully automatic mode if you prefer. Other features that are not always available on pocket cameras include red eye correction, bracketing and image stabilisation.
People who like their digital cameras to be able to double up as a camcorder will be interested to not that you can shoot HD quality movies with the DMC FX150.
