Panasonic DMC-LX3 Digital Camera Review: It Isn’t Perfect

The Panasonic LX3 isn’t perfect. But if you can’t get past that, the LX3 will outperform the standard point and shoot and I still believe can provide the right photographer a pocket-sized tool with plenty of creative potential.

But that’s what I say, more relevant for this post is DigitalCameraReview.com’s review of the Panasonic DMC-LX3, which finds the LX3 on the expensive side, with creative potential, but ultimately disappointing:

With its nice 24mm wide angle lens, 10 megapixel resolution and range of controls, the LX3 really does come close to being a budget digital rangefinder (anyone looking for a low-priced Leica M8?). However, slower-than-expected auto focus in certain modes, high-ISO noise, oversaturated default colors, and an LCD that suffers from odd issues with bright lights made this camera fall short of my expectations.

So far, despite some disappointing reviews, I think I could live with the flaws, but I’m more inclined to wait for the G10 reviews.
