One hell of camera, LX7 comes with the fastest aperture Leica lens and a compact 1/1.7” sensor. Further, the inclusion of Venus engines does allow LX7 to produce images with leasing colors and a good contrast. However, most of the Panasonic Lumix LX7 Revi...

The Panasonic Lumix DMC LX7 is a little known camera simply because it didn't ship out of the house of Canon or Nikon. What is little known about this camera is that it not only sports a Leica lens, but also the fastest lens in a point and shoot camera. W...
Very likely. The LX7 has placed itself squarely in the middle between the S100 and the RX100, in terms of both price and performance. The S100 is slightly cheaper (by 20 bucks) and way more pocketable, but photos arent quite as good. The RX100 is more ex...
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7 is, as far as I'm concerned, the best compact camera currently available, at least of the ones that I've tried recently, and is a worthy successor to the classic LX3. It offers fast, reliable and accurate performance, a good ...
As a point and shoot camera for those wanting to upgrade to something better or a smaller back up for someone owning a G-series compact, the LX7 cuts the proverbial mustard, but, despite being as consistently competent and reliable as one might hope, in p...
Relatively lightweight and compact dimensions for a metal build enthusiasts’ camera, bright aperture lens, built-in visual effects, hotshoe and accessory port for attachment of optional extras, such as an EVF
Fixed screen LCD, priced not a great deal cheaper than one of Panasonic’s interchangeable lens G-series compacts system cameras

Some noise at high sensitivities, A little more expensive than the competition
A supremely tactile camera, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7 is one compact you'll really enjoy using. The wide aperture at either end of the zoom allows for some shallow depths of field and attractive defocused areas, but check out the similar EX2F from Sa...
Good build quality, handles well, good balance between simplicity and advanced functions, Very fast lens at all focal lengths (telephoto aperture at f/2.3!), Excellent responsiveness, even when shooting RAWJpeg, Lens quality very good from f/2.8, sensor g
Lens ring can only be used to control aperture—only useful in A and M modes, Not many customisable controls, High sensitivity settings aren't handled as well as in the Sony RX100, Colours are a little cold in video mode
The Panasonic LX7 is a very good follow-up to the LX5. We would no doubt have lauded it with praise had it arrived back in the spring, but unfortunately (for Panasonic), Sony has revolutionised the expert compact market with the RX100 and Panasonic hasn't...
