Screen not touchsensitive
16Mp sensor produces 12Mp images
No flash builtin
It's got a fixed LCD and the lens really needs a hood to minimize flare
Excellent image quality from Four Thirds sensor, Intuitive dial-based controls, Fast lens is useful for low light shooting, Built-in electronic viewfinder
Fixed LCD screen that isn't touch-sensitive, EVF color rendition can be misleading, Limited telephoto range
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX100 is one of the most exciting new cameras to appear this year, and Ive found that in real-world use it more than lives up to its considerable promise. Indeed, it has perpetually surprised me by just how well it works in almost...

Impressive electronic viewfinder built-in, 24-75mm f/1.7-2.8 equivalent lens opens the door to creative images, classic controls and layout, silent operation with electronic shutter option, autofocus options surpass many compacts
No tilt-angle screen, no touchscreen, colour noise visible in shadow areas, some controls feel cramped, slow to zoom, no exposure compensation lock, minimum shutter absent (for use when shutter dial set to Auto "A" position), a little bulky
We probably sound hyper-critical of the Panasonic Lumix LX100, for the simple fact that we are. There's so much potential here, but it's slightly skewed by the absence of a tilt-angle screen prevalent in so many competitors and image quality that is...
The LX100 has flaws and costs more than the competition, but it's worth every penny. Fixed-lens cameras have been on a tear for the last two or three years. This trend arguably began with Fujifilm's original X100 and carried over into the truly compac...
Excellent manual controls, Great build, Great image quality and dynamic range
Oversaturated EVF, Slightly slow start-up, Susceptible to purple flare in highlights
The Panasonic Lumix LX100 is the new go-to compact camera for people who want to ‘go manual' without trading portability.Next, read more Camera Reviews...

The best balance of small size and terrific performance thanks to a fixed large-aperture lens and a superb micro four-thirds sensor, Faster autofocus than the competition, Incredibly detailed 4K recording makes it one of the best compacts for shooting vid
The relatively short zoom reach can feel limiting if you're used to smaller-sensor point-and-shoots with long optical zoom, It lacks a tilting LCD screen, making it harder to get shots from above and below eye-level, Controls may seem intimidating to begi
Yes. I would recommend the LX100 to damn-near everyone. The only thing its not great for is telephoto shooting, which requires an interchangeable system or a much larger superzoom. $900 is a tough proposition for many of us, and certainly you dont need...
