I can't find a lot on the macro setting of the FZ15 other than it will focus as close as 1.97 inches from the front of the lens.
There is one sample macro photo here:

I have visited a Panasonic Forum and everyone seems to be quite happy with their cameras.

The FZ15 is on my shortlist.
What a lense ! 12X and f2.8 all through the zoom range.
I have two hesitations.
One is the macro mode.Any one have any experience
with it? I do a lot of macro work( the closer the better).
will this lense give me quality images at this end of the spectrum?
Is there a quality macro accessory lense available?
Secondly I have had no experience with the Panasonic brand.
Any input as to Product quality, customer service etc ?
Thanks
