Abstract: Compact system cameras might be getting DSLRs in a panic but meanwhile we're seeing the big players releasing pricey advanced compacts too.Alongside the RX100 from Sony and Nikon's new Coolpix P7700 , we've tested the Panasonic Lumix LX7 and it's hard to ...
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7 may not score as highly as other recently reviewed cameras, such as the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 and Fujifilm X10, but it is still a very capable camera and the best Lumix LX camera yet. The introduction of an aperture ring an...

On paper, you'd expect the Panasonic LX7 to perform as well as or better than its vaunted rivals, the Sony RX100 and Canon S110. With a Leica-branded f/1.4 lens, a 1/1.7-inch image sensor, and the processing power to shoot 12 frames per second and 1080/60...
Good design, Great digital filters, Full manual control, Raw format shooting, Excellent screen
Not a touchscreen, Small sensor
With lots of fantastic features and brilliant image quality, Panasonic has produced a compact camera to be proud of with the LX7. With a wide maximum aperture of f/1.4, the ability to shoot in raw format and full manual controls, many people will surely ...
Polished and refined design, Excellent lens with ultra-fast aperture, Plenty of useful shooting features, Hotshoe accessory port can accomodate an EVF

Overall build quality of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7 is very high. The camera shares the same predominantly metal finish as the LX5 and, in the hand, there's no mistaking it for anything but the premium camera that it is. The revised handgrip isn't partic...
Fast autofocus, f/1.4-2.3 wide aperture, great layout including physical aperture ring, small and light, sharp and detailed images, shoots raw and JPEG, neutral density (ND) filter is just a button away, can add electronic viewfinder (sold separately)
Smaller sensor than LX5, max aperture not sustained throughout zoom (so won't always match aperture ring), high ISO sensitivities not as good as larger-sensor competitors, images lack contrast straight from camera, touchscreen ability would be useful for
The LX7 might not have the biggest sensor out there, and so its higher ISO images won’t beat its competitors. But that’s not the be all and end all: this camera is a joy to use, we love the aperture ring and controls, fast autofocus and that enviable, ...
Because the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7 costs almost $500, there are quite a few photographers who won't give it a second glance. For beginners, this is probably a smart idea.However, if you have some photographic experience, the LX7 is well worth a second gl...
