The editors didn't like
AF box gets resized each time camera is switched off
Sharp images, decent lens, ease of use given the level of sophistication on offer, manageable dimensions, rock solid build, higher than average light sensitivity settings
Launch price overly expensive so shop around, Live View finder costs extra
A broader focal range and a cheaper price would make this non-interchangeable lens compact a potential world-beater. As it is, it's still hot stuff for those who enjoy pointing and shooting, but would like to raise their game at the same time...
Panasonic’s Lumix DMC-LX5 replaces the LX3 as the ultimate enthusiast compact, but at around £400 it’s not cheap. If the LX5’s excellent high ISO performance, great video mode and versatile 24-90mm lens sound attractive, it’s the best compact in town,...

Very good image quality with lots of detail, Well made and good looking exterior, Very fast and very reliable AF,
Annoying lens cap design, Dated interface, Cool WB tendency at default settings.
Without a doubt, like its predecessor, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5 is one of the best compact cameras an enthusiast can buy. We have to say “one of the best” because there are several models now offering similar sensor/fast lens combinations, and all o...
