Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 Digital Camera

What I like:
Design
Manual controls
Lens f2.0
Elegant built

Any other compact cam looks cheap when Panasonic LX3 is next to it.
The lens is fantastic, the colours are amazing, while its capabilities under low light condition have no limits.

This little camera can handle superbly under low light conditions.
Personally I did not like its "i-mode" when in low light, but once you change it to "S-mode" you get a great relief and yes, I can't go anywhere without it.

Drawbacks: Some say the cap lens. Honestly I did not find anything wrong with it. If you forget to remove it you get an instant caution msg, and once you are done you put it back to safe that beloving lens. (yes I am in love with it - It is huge and superfast).


LX3 vs G10
To me the winner is obvious. Some say that G10 has great pictures during sunlight but..... which decent compact camera does not provide excellent pictures in daylight? Why should I spend 350GBP for getting pictures that a 100GBP camera can get?

In low light... LX3 is the clear winner and I don't get some reviewers that vote for G10 in this section. Maybe they are biased any how? Definitely.

Conclusion:
Buy It!
Generally with LX3 you do not need flash. That's the best thing for me. If you want a camera with superb colour and able to get excellent artistic pics under low light, erase all your thoughts and go for it. I am pretty sure that Panasonic LX3 will be with me for at least another 5yrs. It has everything I want and I love it
