panasonic lumix dmc lx1 reviewThe Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX1 digital camera has been reviewed at imaging resource.
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX1 is a compact digital camera with 8.4 megapixel resolution and a 4 times optical zoom. It is the first camera to offer a 16:9 aspect ratio, which, in combination with the wide zoom lens, allows you to take truly panoramic photos. The Lumix DMC-LX1 is also equipped with optical image stabilization technology, reducing the risk of blurred pictures usually caused by camera shake.

The review verdict:
“The Panasonic LX1 is a pretty unique digital camera. It packs a 4x zoom lens into a surprisingly compact body and mates it to a 16:9 sensor with options for 4:3 or 3:2 aspect ratios, too. Panasonic throws in their excellent Mega OIS Optical Image Stabilization technology for good measure. […] The Panasonic LX1 also offers 8 megapixel resolution, very bright color without oversaturating skin tones, good macro focusing, and very good battery life. Not to mention optional full manual control, programmed auto, and both aperture and shutter priority modes in addition to a simple auto mode and plenty of Scene modes.
[…] The Panasonic LX1 is an excellent little camera, and clearly one of the best bargains on the market in light of its resolution, color, and rich feature set. […] With a Leica lens and a solid built, it is a strong value, and a “Dave’s Pick” to be sure. There’s really nothing else quite like it.”
