Panasonic DMC-LX2K 10.2MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Black) Reviews

Summary: panasonic review
Comment: We've had this camera for a while now, and we still love it. We love all the different features it offers, and the quality of pictures that it takes. I'd recommend reading the instructions manual if you want to use manual focus or any of the other programs it has. The rechargable battery is nice, too. It's the best camera we've ever owned.

Summary: Tradeoffs between LX2 and LX3
Comment: I've owned the LX2 for a year and a half now and decided to try an LX3 to see if any of the LX2 shortcomings were remedied.
Long story to short,don't bother.
Yes the lens on the LX3 is slightly faster and goes a little wider and yes
the noise has been reduced a bit but in reality you will rarely notice the improvements over the LX2.
Unfortunately none of it makes up for the big detraction from the new LX3 which
is the radically shortened Zoom range which I miss a lot.You just can't move in on a subject like you could with the LX2 and therefore must do it with software after you have taken the picture. The camera is also slightly larger than an LX2 and unfortunately Panasonic decided to continue with the very annoying lens cap design for lens protection.If they are going to make us use a lens cap why then would they make us buy a special adapter just to add a filter to the end of the lens.The lens sticks out anyway so let us screw a filter on it without adding even more length of an extra adapter barrel.
Another annoying carryover is if you decide to use the video recording
mode you still cannot zoom the lens while shooting video.And why are video clips limited to ten minutes when you use a multi-gigabyte card that could record for much longer ?
So I'm not finding the improvements to the LX3 and the continued glaring lack of others all that useful in the real world.

Comment: I bought this camera, believing what I read in reviews. DO NOT buy this camera if you want to take a picture of anything that is moving even slightly. There is a function for taking sports images but it doesn't work at all. I try to take pictures of my 2 year old nieces and I have to delete most of them because they are VERY blurry. I'm a little confused by the rave reviews of this camera. It costs way too much for it not to be able to take a clear picture. Other than that it has a very nice design. i have another less expensive camera that does a much better job.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Almost perfect
Comment: Excellent image quality with full functions at this level. Almost perfect except two things:

1. Noise ...
2. The time lag between raw shootings.

however, as long as there's no "perfect" point&shoot camera at this moment, this is 5 star! looking foreard to a aps/apc or 4/3 frame PS camera.
