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.

The LX3 features the latest Venus 4 imaging processor and a brand new zoom lens that’s very wide (it starts at 24 mm) and very fast (with a max aperture of f2.0).


The Panasonic Lumix LX3 is a capable prosumer camera that’s got very good image quality traits in almost all respects (Except for some noise and detail issues); thumbs up to Panasonic for tackling the issue of image quality which used to exist a few years back.
