Panasonic Lumix LX3 camera review

 Panasonic Lumix LX3 camera review

When Panasonic introduced the Lumix LX1 and LX2, they had full manual controls and native widescreen CCD sensors. Fast forward to recent times and the new Lumix LX3 still offers full manual controls and a high degree of expandability (with conversion lenses, external flash attachment and such) but drops the widescreen sensor for a more traditional 4:3 one.

  Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ28 camera review

The Panasonic Lumix FZ28 has a sensor resolution of 10.1-megapixels from a 1/2.33-inch RGB CCD image sensor, and Panasonic has coupled this to an image-stabilized, Leica DC Vario-Elmarit-branded 18x optical zoom lens with a useful range all the way from a 27mm wide angle to a 486mm telephoto. As you'd expect for a long-zoom camera, there's a choice of both an electronic viewfinder and an LCD display.
