Title: Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX2(10/10/06)Summary: Reviewing the LX2 - the successor to one of the only memorable compact cameras of 2005 - has been a slightly disappointing, yet totally unsurprising experience. Like the FZ50 reviewed last month, the LX2 is an 'upgrade' that fails to address in any convincing way the single glaring problem with its predecessor. Rather than going back to... Read the full review Pros: ; Feels fast and responsive; High quality construction, lovely design; 28mm wideangle (16:9 mode only); Raw mode & much better raw conversion software; Big, bright, high resolution screen screen; Comprehensive photographic control; Easy to use; Good resolution, sharp results with lots of detail (particularly at ISO 100); Generally Cons: ; Auto flash mode tends to choose 1/30th second shutter speed (and a high ISO in auto ISO mode); Menus stretched to fit new screen shape rather than redesigned; Slow macro focus; New control layout (due to larger screen) difficult for anyone with big fingers; Occasional exposure / dynamic range problems in very contrasty scenes; Country:

Title: Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX2Summary: Megapixels make great headlines, but the LX2 suffers from noise and smudging even at low ISOs. That's a shame, because otherwise this is a great camera. With a better-balanced sensor (fewer pixels, better quality) and a more operational speed, it would be hard to fault. Read the full review Country:

Title: Panasonic DMC LX2 ReviewSummary: Read the full review Verdict: The Panasonic DMC LX2 is an advanced digital camera with ten megapixels and a wide angle lens. It has many features you would expect to find on a digital SLR. On the whole the camera performed well in my tests. In fact it was outstanding in lowlight. Pros: ; ¤ Bright and clear LCD screen - wide angle lens - well structured menus - lowlight shots - design Country:

Title: DPInterface Panasonic Lumix LX2 ReviewSummary: The Panasonic Lumix LX2 is a great compact (not in your back pocket though) camera. It can produce 10 megapixels of widescreen photos, a 28 mm wide-angle lens and of course has a lovely widescreen LCD on the back to show off your photos. Read the full review Pros: ; Fast performance; Widescreen high-resolution LCD; Above average battery life; Unlimited continuous shooting at full resolution; Widescreen CCD with wide-angle lens; Great movie mode Cons: ; Redeye; Sluggish frame rate at highest setting; no movie focus or optical zoom; Above average noise with smearing and detail loss due to NR Country:

Title: Panasonic DMC-LX2Summary: The Panasonic Lumix LX2 is rather disappointing, perhaps partly because of the success of its predecessor, but mostly because of all that is special about this camera. The LX2 features a wide-aspect sensor for producing 16:9 images and 16:9 HD videos. Its lens, when combined with its wide-aspect sensor, features a 4X wide-angle zoom. In... Read the full review Pros: ; Good image sharpness * Accurate exposure and focusing * Wide-screen photos, movies and LCD * Effective stabilization * Fast and responsive * Solid build quality * Flexible image parameters * Short flash range * No optical viewfinder * Slow image playback Cons: ; High image noise at all ISO settings * Extremely high noise above ISO 400, nearly useless results * Loss of details due to noise reduction from ISO 200 * Poor white balance under artificial light * Some color oversaturation * Narrow dynamic range * Slow macro focus Country:
