List All 4 PricesThe Panasonic LX3 achieves the rare feat of excelling in both form and function. A well-crafted object, it performs well enough to win over photography fans as well as aesthetes. Fast wide angle lens, manual modes and HD video all put it ahead of the competition, for the time being, at least. Read more
Over the course of a year, I review around 100 digital cameras, maybe one or two more or less, but quite a lot by any standard. Naturally some are better than others. Some are hopeless rubbish and some are really good, but it's only a couple of times a year that a camera comes along that really stands out from the crowd. The Panasonic Lumix LX3 is one of those cameras. Read more
Overpriced and overcomplicated, it’s a case of ‘what might have been’ for the stylish little LX3 Read more
Panasonic’s snapper tries to combine the best of both worlds – the flexibility of manual exposure options in the small, compact body of a standard point-and-shoot. Can it pull it off? Read more
The camera is great to use and handle, it looks nice and it seems to do exactly what it says on the tin: produce superb images with great detail, fine colour and white balance control, rich detail in shadows and with around a stop and half of headroom in the RAW files, even more detail that can be brought out using image editing software. The LX3 has just about all that’s required by an enthusiast photographer and automation for those that are not, the all-metal build... Read more
First up - In response to DodgeandBurn's review: RAW images - If you download Adobe's free DNG convertor you can change your .RW2 files to .dng files. These can be worked on in camera raw which is embedded within all versions of Photoshop if I'm not mistaken - problem solved. With regards to the comment regarding noise, I agree that it's very noticeable above 200ISO, but you've got to bear in mind that apart from the Sigma DP1, compacts do have smaller sensors than...

terrific little 'prosumer' camera. good quality pictures due mostly to a very nice lens - packed with features, an excellent HD video mode and fairly easy controls. A bit small for my big hands but will serve the purpose it was bought for - to take high quality pictures without having to lumber my bulky Bronica or Canon SLR's around Read more
I never thought I'd buy a Panasonic branded camera. There. I've said it. I am something of a camera snob. I've owned Rollei, Olympus and Canon cameras and optics (well, mostly Canon for the past 20 years) throughout the past three decades, but Panasonic? They make electric razors, air conditioners and VCRs, don't they? Well, not so fast with the snobbery there, my friends. This is one fantastic camera. This is a camera that makes me smile just about every... Read more
I am a very keen and experienced amateur photographer. I bought this camera 2 weeks ago. I have taken 212 (serious) shots (i.e. not just snaps). I wanted a pocketable camera which would be a viable alternative to my DSLR when I want to travel light. I needed full manual control and first class picture quality. Two months earlier, being a Canon DSLR user, I made the mistake of buying a Canon Powershot G10. On paper it was a fantastic camera but I was extremely... Read more
I received this camera as a surprise gift for Christmas 2008 and I am so pleased with it! It has the convenience of a point-and-shoot, but the versatility of a manual camera that I can carry around all the time! I am constantly pulling it out and snapping a few buttons to get the perfect on- the- go- shot! I am new to photography and so this is a great camera for me, but I know it's well liked by more experienced photographers too. It has a very easy to use mode dial,... Read more
