Reviewed by: cmcgaughUpdated: 12-Apr-08 Strengths: Excellent lens, ease of use, fast re-cycle...very versitilewith the different aspect ratios. Weaknesses: Slightly smaller than I would have liked. Overall Evaluation: I read a lot of reviews on this camera before I bought it.Noise seemed to be a common complaint, but I haven't seenany problems with the kind of pictures I take (so far). So far it's been a real pleasure to use, and I'm extremelyhappy with the pictures. It's essentially a Leica D-LUX3 without the Leica price and logo. The only difference I'vefound is that it only has 13mb internal memory vs 64mb forthe Leica version. But it also has a small grip that the Leica doesn't. Otherwise they are exactly the same camera. Here are some pics I did of a South African plant I have at home taken without a tripod, by ambient light, 7mpx, macro mode. I feel my money was well spent. =) |

Reviewed by: x1w2c3Updated: 27-Dec-07 Strengths: Great image with high-pixel; Wide screen display; Adjustable picture aspect ratio; easy-use buttons Weaknesses: zoom is too short; Picture out slot is not a standard mini-usb Overall Evaluation: First of all, this is really a good camera for you to use, especially if you do not want to take much time to learn how to use the digital SLR camera and you just want to take some pictures while you travel. This DMC-LX2 can give you very nice shot, especially when you take pictures of views. The high-pixel and wide-angle feature let me take some great picture while I was traveling last summer in several national parks. For those professional photographers, the quality of the pictures might be far from acceptable, but for me, that is enough. The design of the buttons is OK. It makes the camera easy to use. You can actually view and adjust pictures on the camera, which I would like to do it on my computer. Plus, this camera has menu in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Chinese and Japanese. Might be good for people in other language. The color of those pictures is quite good, especially when there is enough light. But when the light is not good, its quality really depe... |

Reviewed by: wenchaoxuUpdated: 28-Jun-07 Strengths: Wide angle lens, High Pixels LCD, Optimized Automatic Mode, Other Adjustable Modes Weaknesses: Optical Zoom is too short; MEGA OIS does not work very well as they advertised Overall Evaluation: I think this camera is very good for you to take picture for outdoor activities. It has wide angle lens which is good to take pictures of scenic view. I also believe that they optimized the "Automatic Mode". The pictures look really good if taken with adequate exposure. If you are interested, you can use other adjustable modes, which make it more like a traditional camera. The battery can work for a long hour. And I have not got any adaptation problem with any kind of regular SD card. I think for this camera, the optical zoom is too small. I cannot take good picture of something just a little bit far. And even with MEGA O.I.S., it is not easy to take a picture at night when the light is not good. The noise becomes more annoying when you raise the ISO at that time. |

Reviewed by: wreptyle35Updated: 26-Apr-07 Strengths: 1. True 16:9 ratio sensor chip2. High resolution (10.2 megapixel) for such a small size.3. 2.7 inches LCD display4. Well designed/convenient controls5. Excellent photos using sensitivity 100 Weaknesses: 1: Image noise is high when sensivity is above 4002. Slightly cumbersome of the body protruding part3. No view finder. Overall Evaluation: I love this camera! I actually bought this camera before, but returned it after using it a little while because of the price. I bought it again right before I went on vacation for a great deal, and I know it won't disappoint. There are many great aspects about this camera, so let me begin! Benefits: I really like how I can take 16:9 pictures, and this camera does it flawlessly. The sensor chip inside works really well. This camera is very compact and also easy to use, making it one of the smallest cameras with the most to offer. The large screen is pretty amazing for such a small camera, and I love how the flash is hidden. With the settings at 100 for sensitivity, the pictures of my vacation turned out great! Weaknesses: With that said, if I set the sensitivity at 400 or above, there is some image noise. I know this is a problem with most cameras when the sensitivity is tuned at that level, but I guess I expected better. Mind you it is still very good...I just had high ... |

Reviewed by: AnonymousUpdated: 23-Apr-07 Strengths: Unique quality Leica widescreen 28mm lens Weaknesses: Noisy chip kills Leica advantages, Not wide-view LCD in vertical direction Overall Evaluation: Camera is great, if you never look at picture quality at pixel level. Heavy contrast noise even at ISO-100 of this camera, reported by many profi and amateurs photographers, is sometimes so nasty, that you can not remove it with any Noise Ninja |
