Fast lens, one stop faster than predecessor, Lens sharp corner to corner, Image stabilization is rock-solid, Very close Macro mode, Very wide lens at 24mm, The lens is "the stuff of camera-lover dreams", Fast autofocus and shutter lag, Very f...
Short telephoto lens at 90mm, Physical aperture ring can confuse, as maximum aperture changes when you zoom, Sluggish startup, Slow buffer clearing, does not appear to be UHS-I compliant, Battery life not as good as predecessor, Slightly below average ...
Sometimes you don't want to carry a big SLR to get quality images, and that's why cameras like the Panasonic LX7 were born. Small enough to fit into a biggish pocket, the Lumix LX7 has an excellent lens and a good quality image sensor, both tuned to ca...
Very likely. The LX7 has placed itself squarely in the middle between the S100 and the RX100, in terms of both price and performance. The S100 is slightly cheaper (by 20 bucks) and way more pocketable, but photos arent quite as good. The RX100 is more ex...
Advanced fixed-lens cameras have become a popular option for manufacturers, as they look to provide a set of cameras that are easily distinguished from the budget-priced point-n-shoot cameras and cell phone cameras. With these advanced fixed-lens camer...
Very bright f1.4-2.3 zoom lens, Dedicated aperture control ring, 11fps full-resolution burst shooting, Close 1cm macro focus, Shallow depth of field for macro shots.
Cap obsctructs lens on power up, Limited Creative Control effects, Aperture ring redundant in some modes, No Wifi, GPS or touch-screen.
The Lumix LX7 re-establishes the edge Panasonic gained when it launched the Lumix LX3 and ignited the interest of enthusiasts by offering the holy grail of DLSR control and decent quality in a compact form factor. Since then the World has moved on tho...
Polished and refined design, excellent lens with ultrafast aperture, plenty of features, option to add an EVF.
Good screen but needs to be even better to match rivals.
There's a lot to like about the LX7. The metal-finish body produces a classy, high-end feel that doesn't disappoint, while the ability to add an EVF is bound to appeal to the more discerning shooter. On top of that, the controls, interface and now the ...
Excellent photo quality, with less noise than typical compact cameras, Super fast F1.42.3, 3.8X optical zoom Leica lens allows for better low light shots, more background blur, Multiaspect sensor maintains the same focal length at all four aspect ratios, 3inch rotating LCD with 920,000 pixels, very good outdoor/low light visibility, Full manual controls with RAW support, numerous ways to adjust w
Redeye a problem; no removal tool in playback mode, Takes a long time (30 seconds) for camera to flush the buffer after a burst containing RAW images is taken, Vertical stripes in panoramic images, Cheapfeeling rear dial doesn't rotate smoothly; flimsy door over battery/memory card compartment, Full manual on CDROM (it's not very userfriendly, either)
Conclusion The Lumix DMC-LX7 is Panasonic's flagship compact camera, and the long-awaited follow-up to the popular DMC-LX5. At first glance, it's hard to tell the two apart, but look closer and you'll see some pretty big changes. The DMC-LX7 is a mid-...
The popular Panasonic LX-series has received a rather modest update with the arrival of the new LX7 model. The aperture ring and ND filter button are welcome additions to an already proven design that particularly appeals to more experienced photograp...
Abstract: Not everybody wants a full DSLR and not everybody is content with the camera on their smartphone. That’s a difficult segment to fill, but Panasonic believes it has the line-up necessary with its latest range of cameras. The LUMIX G5, FZ200 and LX7 each...
Abstract: The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5 is a two year old design at a time when many compact digital cameras are out of date after just six months. Even so the 'elderly' LX5 remains in demand because of its excellent image quality. So the new LX7 has a lot to li...

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7 is a compact camera with full manual-controls and a bright stabilized ultra-wide 24-90mm F/1.4-2.3 lens. It has some excellent expansion options thanks to a hot-shoe and a port which supports an optional EVF, making it one of t...
