PANASONIC LUMIX LX3 DIGITAL CAMERA GALLERY

Panasonic announced the Lumix DMC-LX3, aimed at DSLR users who are looking for a compact camera to complement their existing SLR gear. The camera has a wide-range of manual override controls for compensation and creative use, when desired. The LX3 is very compact, measuring only 2.34"(H) x 4.28"(W) x 1.06"(D) [60mm(H) x 109mm(W) x 27mm(D)], and weighs only about 8 oz. [265g.].

The camera features a VERY fast (especially for a compact camera) f2.0-f2.8 24-60mm (35mm equivalent) zoom lens and a 1/1.63-inch, 10.1 million effective pixel CCD sensor. The 24mm wide-angle end of the zoom range is VERY unusual for a compact camera. The image stabilization system on this camera is one of the best.

The LX3's B&W images, when set on the "Dynamic B&W" film setting, rival the "fine art B&W" prints of yesteryear.

UPDATE (JANUARY 2009): The LX3 has turned out to be a great camera, beyond my wildest dreams. Panasonic is selling them by the hundreds and they do not stay in stock at retailers very long. This camera is destined to become one of the all-time greats! In fact, I like the Panasonic LX3 so much, I just bought a second LX3 to put up for future use! It's THAT good!

I just got my LX-3...It's a really great camera. I didn't feel any regret to sell my DSLR and replaced by this camera...;)

Great gallery. I'm seriously considering to buy an LX-3. Ciao, Joseph

Hi Bill. Love your LX3 gallery. I just bought an LX 3. Do you think it is neccessary to have the external viewfinder? The one sold by Panasonic for the LX 3 is very expensive. but it is not like the built-in ones in DSLR where the viewfinder can zoom in to a view. So I still need to use the LCD to gauge my area zoom...so I find the external viewfinder a bit useless, except for giving more steadiness or under very bright sunlight.

Guest		22-Jan-2010 08:05
Thoroughly enjoyed looking at your photos, Bill. So many beautiful and artistically shot scenes and subjects. True, even a pinhole camera in your hands would produce great shots, but that LX3 is just superb! Tom (kitsap2) at dpreview

Tony		10-Dec-2009 12:05
Have to agree with Ron. Your gallery cemented my idea of buying the LX3. Keep up the good work.

Michael Shpuntov		05-Nov-2009 02:29
Great body of work. Fantastic colors and great compositions. Looks like it's a great camera. Vote.

Ron LaCroix		20-Aug-2009 08:17
Bill, Isabel put me onto your LX3 gallery as I am considering a purchase. I have looked at every single shot in this gallery. It took me a while but I got there ;-) Thanks for posting this gallery as it is so full of useful information and samples of what the camera can do. Much appreciated. Cheers.

Hi Bill, Just wondering if you have compared the Panasonic LX3 to the Canon G10 and, if so, what were your feelings. From what I can see, at lower ASAs, the Canon takes sharper photos, but that the Panasonic excells when the ASA goes to 400 and beyond.

Sin-Leng Cheah		20-Apr-2009 04:39
I have had my LX3 for a couple of months. Really, I think it is the best PnS camera around. It has amazing picture quality and also a good range of controls for a PnS camera. I bought my Nikon D90 around the same time but it seemed to be ignored these days.

Bill McClung		18-Jan-2009 02:27
Unless you really have to have more zoom than 60mm for your DSLR "companion camera" and don't use wide-angle focal lengths much, in my opinion, the LX3 is BY FAR the better camera. ISO 400 and ISO 800 speeds are much less noisy with the LX3 (take another look at the ISO 800 play photos in this gallery). The LX3's f2.0 to f2.8 also allows you to use lower ISOs to further minimize noise. The LX3's LCD is also FAR superior. The A710's LCD is low resolution and has an distinct "lag" (per www.dpreview.com review). I love the LX3 so much, I just purchased a second LX3 to put up for future use. Yes, it's THAT good!

Guest		18-Jan-2009 00:22
I see you have a Canon A700, I have a 710 IS and was thinking of upgrading to the LX3 as a smaller option to my Nikon D90 kit, are the LX3 photos that much nicer then what a Canon 710 can do? Do you think it's worth it?

J Wall		04-Jan-2009 21:05
Really appreciate the gallery. comparision with A series canon useful as I getting ready to upgrade from a510. pics give good idea of range of lx3, both indoors with low light,including capturing events, and outside with 16:9 option. These may sway me for lx3 (more so than multiple reviews). Where can I send you bill for extra cost of lx3 over cheaper point and shoot? : ) also, nice view from your deck!
