Panasonic Lumix LX100 Review

Lisa Gade reviews the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX100 advanced compact camera, also sold as the Leica D-LUX (Typ 109). You can read our full written review and see sample photos here: http://www.mobiletechreview.com/camer... . This camera competes with the Sony RX100, Canon PowerShot G7X / G1X mk II and even compact ILC Micro Four Thirds cameras. It has a 16MP Micro Four Thirds sensor that’s cropped to 12.8MP to allow for different selectable aspect ratios (about 1.5x larger than a 1” sensor). The LX100 has a fast and sharp Leica 24-75mm f/1.7-2.8 zoom lens for improved depth of field compared to most compact cameras. It has an EVF, 3” LCD, hot shoe with included accessory flash, OIS and it can shoot 4K video. It has micro HDMI and micro USB ports but no mic or headphone jack. It has full manual controls in addition to auto mode, and great ergonomics that will please advanced dSLR shooters. It’s geared more towards the serious photographer rather than the point and shoot crowd, though it takes excellent photos in auto mode.
