Excellent manual controls ; Great build ; Great image quality and dynamic range

Oversaturated EVF ; Slightly slow start-up ; Susceptible to purple flare in highlights

Maximum aperture drops down to f/2.8 at the further reaches of the zoom, but so do this camera’s main rivals. Having that extra bit of lens versatility at 24mm is another attraction for serious photographers looking for an everyday shooter. The LX100...

Large sensor in a compact body ; Small high-quality lens ; Traditional controls ; Electronic viewfinder

Screen not touch-sensitive ; 16Mp sensor produces 12Mp images ; Lens quite prone to flare

There may be smaller interchangeable lens cameras, but the LX100 is a joy to use. It gives you bags of control and produces high quality images. Just beware of flare when the sun is near the edge of the frame.

Impressive electronic viewfinder built-in, 24-75mm f/1.7-2.8 equivalent lens opens the door to creative images, classic controls and layout, silent operation with electronic shutter option, autofocus options surpass many compacts

No tilt-angle screen, no touchscreen, colour noise visible in shadow areas, some controls feel cramped, slow to zoom, no exposure compensation lock, minimum shutter absent (for use when shutter dial set to Auto "A" position), a little bulky

We probably sound hyper-critical of the Panasonic Lumix LX100, for the simple fact that we are. There's so much potential here, but it's slightly skewed by the absence of a tilt-angle screen prevalent in so many competitors and image quality that isn't...

Excellent image quality ; Strong low light performance ; Sturdy build

4K requires a fast SD card ; No tilting LCD

4K recording isn’t the only trick up this superb snapper’s sleeve

The Panasonic LX100 delivers really good photo and video quality, a great set of features, and class-leading performance.

It's got a fixed LCD and the lens really needs a hood to minimize flare.

With really good photo and video quality, a great set of features and generally class-leading performance, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX100 is probably one of our favorite compact cameras ever. It's not for the inexperienced, though.

For enthusiasts who want both a quality still and video camera, the LX100 has a 12.8MP 4/3-inch High-Sensitivity MOS sensor, and the ability to record 4K video. The LX100 has an integral 24-75mm (equivalent) f/1.7-2.8 Leica DC Vario-Summilux lens and...

Excellent f/1.7-f/2.8 Leica lens ; In camera raw editing ; Lots of physical controls ; Excellent build quality and handling ; High resolution electronic viewfinder ; 12fps continuous shooting ; Very good noise performance ; Dual axis electronic level ;...

Touch screen would have been nice ; Some noise visible in shadows ; Lens flare can be an issue

The Panasonic Lumix LX100 is a serious compact camera with both a large sensor (Micro Four Thirds), and a brighter than normal f/1.7-f/2.8 Leica lens giving the equivalent of 24-75mm in 35mm terms. The LX100 offers an impressive combination of lens and...
