Abstract: HONG KONG--It has been about two years since Panasonics last LX-series camera, the DMC-LX2, was launched. One of the most interesting things about that model was its 16:9 aspect ratio sensor and a good range of manual controls not usually found in dig...
Abstract: The layout is traditional, with a mode dial - including aperture and shutter priority modes, plus a fully manual setting - on the top and an array of buttons on the back next to the 3in screen. The extra space on the barrel of the lens is put to good use...
As well as enthusiast-friendly digital compact cameras, Panasonic has also made a name for itself in recent years with a range of luxury 'LX' models, the LX1, LX2, and now the LX3.Coming almost two years after the introduction of the LX2, the LX3 featu...
Sharp, bright lens; compact but comfortable design; broad manual-shooting feature set
Relatively unresponsive quick-menu button; proprietary connectors; artefacts under certain conditions; optical viewfinder is optional
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 is a good, solid camera for enthusiasts seeking a travelling companion that's more discrete than a digital SLR. But, although the LX3 takes generally sharp photos and offers an enthusiast-friendly feature set, we think the ...
Abstract: The Panasonic DMC LX3 has the widest angle lens available on a compact digital camera. This is ideal if you are interested in landscape photography. The lens offers 2.5x optical zoom, but this can be increased to a maximum of 4.5x if you shoot at lower...

Abstract: Two months ago we reviewed both Canons G10 and Nikons P6000, two premium compact cameras designed for photography enthusiasts. They cost more than some entry-level digital SLR cameras and are aimed at those who care about quality but dont want th...
While other prestige compacts are great for creative work, they fall down when it comes to the occasional snap at parties and on the odd day out. For us, the ability to perform as a great all-rounder is the absolute test of any compact. The LX3 is one ...
Good quality fast wide angle lens, HD format video, 3 inch screen with 460 000 pixels, Fast AutoFocus, Well made with useful controls
60 mm is a little short for a telephoto lens, Noise handling could be better above 400 ISO, Burst mode restrained, Quite slow to switch on, Few options for customization of case
Handling, design, build, iA, image quality, lens, manual control
The lack of an optical viewfinder may irk, while the VF1 accessory finder sacrifices the hot shoe, the tiny joy stick control is fiddly to use too
The Panasonic Lumix DMC LX3 is a beautiful little camera that offers a host of features including MEGA O.I.S, Panasonic’s optical image stabilising technology and a superb lens. The Lumix LX3 may just be the most complete digital compact for enthusi...
