Strengths: Wide angle lens, High Pixels LCD, Optimized Automatic Mode, Other Adjustable Modes
Weakness: Optical Zoom is too short; MEGA OIS does not work very well as they advertised
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...
Strengths: 1. True 16:9 ratio sensor chip 2. High resolution (10.2 megapixel) for such a small size. 3. 2.7 inches LCD display 4. Well designed/convenient controls 5. Excellent photos using sensitivity 100
Weakness: 1: Image noise is high when sensivity is above 400 2. Slightly cumbersome of the body protruding part 3. No view finder.
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...
Strengths: Availability of functions; size and feel of camera; quality of LCD screen; clarity of manual; ease of operation; quality of pictures;
Weakness: as with all digital cameras, there is so much to learn for new users. However, the manual and the operation of the camera makes it less difficult for us novices to get started.
This is my first purchased small digital camera. I had only worked with a Canon SureShot for several months. This camera is a dream compared to the Canon. It has as many functions as a DSLR. Of course, the lens operation is somewhat limited compared to the DSLR but miles ahead of the Canon. The functions are numerous and I am beginning to learn how to operate this beautiful (physically and...
Strengths: 10.4 Megapixel 16:9 aspect CCD; 28mm wide 4x optical LEICA DC lens; MEGA O.I.S.(Optical Image Stabilizer); Large 2.8” 16:9 aspect ratio LCD monitor (207k pixels)
Weakness: A little noisy on high ISO (>200)
The 16:9 'widescreen' CCD on Lumix Lx2 isn't merely unusual; it is totally unique, and - together with the wide 28mm Leica zoom - offers a unique perspective on the world, allowing the photographer to capture sweeping panoramic vistas in a single shot without cropping. It also makes a lot more sense now that the LCD screen matches the aspect ratio of the sensor.
Strengths: Compact, fully loaded feature set, huge LCD screen, 16:9 aspect ratio, everything is user-controllable
Weakness: Noisy images, separate lens cap, too early to adopt, weak flash, tiny built-in memory, still a compact
After seeing dpreview's somewhat negative review and pop photo's glowing review, I decided to take the plunge and see for myself, as the incredible feature set and Leica name were simply too alluring. As a result, I discovered firsthand that this is one awesome camera. It's a great compromise between a tiny compact and a dSLR, and I think it's a great backup camera for my Rebel XT. I'll...
Strengths: small size, 9 x 16, 10.1 megapixel, huge LCD, 4x optical, deep programed scene menu, manual control options
Weakness: small size (for people with big hands), requires careful handling
I'm a photojournalist and writer who has downsized my kit (and dispensed with film and film cameras due to travel restrictions). I'm all digital and a new black LX2 is now my good weather landscape, aerial, portrait, photojournalism back up camera (to a Leica V-Lux 1 and an Olympus 730 SW). I shoot only at the lowest ISO setting as the sensor gets noisy as the ISO increases -- though not enough...
Strengths: Unique quality Leica widescreen 28mm lens
Weakness: Noisy chip kills Leica advantages, Not wide-view LCD in vertical direction
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
Strengths: Great image with high-pixel; Wide screen display; Adjustable picture aspect ratio; easy-use buttons
Weakness: zoom is too short; Picture out slot is not a standard mini-usb
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...

High image quality and widescreen format are this camera's best attributes, though some controls could be easier to use.

The Panasonic Lumix LX2, like its predecessor the LX1, is clearly inspired by the surging popularity of widescreen (16:9) televisions. Employing a unique set of "triple-wide" features, the Lumix LX2 combines a 28mm wide-angle Leica lens, a 16:9 wide CCD, and a 16:9 wide LCD. If you're the type who likes to count pixels, the DMC-LX2 has a 10 megapixel CCD that uses the full resolution of the...

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX2 is very much a camera of two halves. In use, it can be an absolute dream with its wide lens, sensor and screen inspiring your creative side, and the decent build quality and high level of manual control satisfying the demands of enthusiasts. The widescreen movie modes also deliver great quality and the image stabilisation works very well. In these and many other...

If you're shooting at ISO 100 and not making huge prints then I recommend the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX2. If you've got the patience to shoot in RAW mode, you'll likely be more satisfied with the photos you get out of the camera. If you want to run around shooting at ISO 800 or making 11 x 14 inch prints, I'd probably pass on this camera. Of course, it's your decision -- so use what you've learned...

Amazing, fun camera!!!
Strengths: Excellent lens, ease of use, fast re-cycle...very versitile with the different aspect ratios.
Weakness: Slightly smaller than I would have liked.
I read a lot of reviews on this camera before I bought it. Noise seemed to be a common complaint, but I haven't seen any problems with the kind of pictures I take (so far). So far it's been a real pleasure to use, and I'm extremely happy with the pictures. It's essentially a Leica D-LUX3 without the Leica price and logo. The only difference I've found is that it only has 13mb internal memory vs...
