Solid build, impressive image quality, design, great LCD screen, impressive AF performance
Ineffective grip, limited zoom range (though potentially this is beneficial to image quality)
There’s little doubt that the Panasonic LX3 is a serious alternative to any other enthusiast compact. While its retro styling appeals to the traditionalist, on the inside we see a whole heap of features to keep the discerning user happy. Panasonic h...

Abstract: The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 was introduced with grandeur during an international press meeting. The decision to not go for a higher resolution amount, but instead for improvements, was received positively. The expectations were high up, while the camer...

24mm coverage, OIS and f2.0, Full manual, RAW and hotshoe, HD movie recording, Screen with 460k pixels.

As the bottom continues to fall out of the compact camera market, with fierce competition resulting in more features being available for less money, the manufacturers are having to become much more inventive to both retain interest and maintain a prof...
Slight image softness (a pre-production foible, hopefully) so it's a bit early to tell. However, on this showing, there's not much else wrong.
There’s too much to go into in any detail here particularly as Panasonic were so nervy about the camera being a pre-production model and so they feared, perhaps, it would not be quite up to scratch. However, the camera is great to use and handle, it ...
