Classic, attractive design is also very functional, f/2.0 lens with optical image stabilization is great for available light, 24mm wide angle equivalent captures the whole room, Hotshoe lets you use an external flash (off camera, too), Multiple aspect...
60mm telephoto is well short of the more common 105mm equivalent, Menu system is low res and quirky, No zoom in Movie mode, Slide show mode crops images, Closest macro image is only sharp at the very center, ISO 800, 1,600, and 3,200 have yellow and pu...

Judging by the number of high-end compacts currently on the market, the appetite for them is still there. Traditionally the market has comprised Canon’s G series and Ricoh’s GR and GX offerings, and though all three are still going strong it’s fair to...
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...

Nostalgic mode seems to be the only neutral color mode, Limited optical zoom, High ISO noise reduction smears fine detail, The hard plastic grip should be replaced with soft rubber, A little expensive compared to entrylevel DSLRs...

Panasonic has taken a brave stand with the LX3, it’s decided not to increase the resolution in the race for cameras with ever-higher pixel counts (for the record, the LX3 is a 10-megapixel camera) at the expense of image quality...
Handling, design, build, iA, Image quality, Lens, Manual control.
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...
