A big time thorough review of the Panasonic LX3 courtesy of the folks at Imaging Resource. I’ve been waiting for this one for awhile and now all that’s left is for DPR to chime in. On the build quality:

Top-end. A metal body with plenty of screws to hold it together. A metal tripod socket. A spring-loaded port door, firm buttons and switches. Not a cheap thing about it. Put it in your will, because it might still be working when you’re gone.

Continuing, they like most of the interface, and features set, and for the most part, overall performance was above average (or at least felt that way in the real world), but most of the raves were centered around the image quality. I don’t want to give too much away, but this:

Obviously I was pleased by the images the Panasonic LX3 captured. Quite pleased. In fact, the images were more similar to dSLR images than digicam images. My recent reviews of 10+ megapixel cameras have rarely been raves. I’m usually surprised by the lack of detail captured. Not with these, though.

Sounds pretty good too me. It is interesting that perhaps the biggest asset for the LX3 (outside of resolution) is probably also its main flaw. I speaking of the lens, it just isn’t going to give you range, so if that’s an issue, skip the LX3. Again it is all about shooting style.
