| Conclusion: |
 |
| Panasonic has delivered an outstanding camera filled to the brim with manual controls and a load of shooting options. With a large imager that produces brilliant low light images and an extra-wide 24mm lens, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 is a very special camera indeed. Let’s not forget about the retro styling. The interface is intuitive and inviting, the giant LCD screen provides plenty of viewing space and the battery life is plentiful. It’s difficult to find any flaws with the DMC-LX3. For beginners, this camera might be a little too complex, and we didn't get consistent results from the Auto mode in our tests. However, the multiple shooting modes allow you to grow into a more experienced shooter. The Lumix DMC-LX3 will certainly amass a significant fan base of budget photographers and experienced shooters who want it all in a vintage-inspired package. |
