Archaic menu system that is a pain to browse through
Polished and refined design, excellent lens with ultrafast aperture, plenty of features, option to add an EVF.
Good screen but needs to be even better to match rivals.
There's a lot to like about the LX7. The metal-finish body produces a classy, high-end feel that doesn't disappoint, while the ability to add an EVF is bound to appeal to the more discerning shooter. On top of that, the controls, interface and now the ...

Redeye a problem; no removal tool in playback mode, Takes a long time (30 seconds) for camera to flush the buffer after a burst containing RAW images is taken, Vertical stripes in panoramic images, Cheapfeeling rear dial doesn't rotate smoothly; flimsy door over battery/memory card compartment, Full manual on CDROM (it's not very userfriendly, either)

The popular Panasonic LX-series has received a rather modest update with the arrival of the new LX7 model. The aperture ring and ND filter button are welcome additions to an already proven design that particularly appeals to more experienced photograp...
Abstract: Not everybody wants a full DSLR and not everybody is content with the camera on their smartphone. That’s a difficult segment to fill, but Panasonic believes it has the line-up necessary with its latest range of cameras. The LUMIX G5, FZ200 and LX7 each...
Abstract: The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5 is a two year old design at a time when many compact digital cameras are out of date after just six months. Even so the 'elderly' LX5 remains in demand because of its excellent image quality. So the new LX7 has a lot to li...

Abstract: While there is a general move towards higher-end compact cameras – as the lower end is overrun by the smartphones – the number of truly enthusiast-level models is still quite small. Canon's G-series PowerShots obviously qualify, so does Fujifi lm's X10, N...
Bright f/1.4 aperture lens. Built-in ND filter. Controls, dials and buttons all logically placed and easy to access. Very good image quality at low ISO levels
Lens cap design could have evolved so it doesn't obstruct the lens when opening. No external microphone jack
The LX7 is an excellent advanced compact camera that has great photo quality. We highly recommend investing in a better lens cap for a pain-free photography experience....
