  • Because the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7 costs almost $500, there are quite a few photographers who won't give it a second glance. For beginners, this is probably a smart idea.However, if you have some photographic experience, the LX7 is well worth a second gl...

  • Quality: Excellent, especially at larger apertures.Why you'd buy the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7: small, powerful camera.Why you wouldn't: no reason.While this camera could easily serve as day-to-day snapshot camera, it would be wasted. It would be ideal as a...

  • The Panasonic Lumix DMC LX7 is one hell of a camera. The fast aperture Leica lens is incredibly sharp and the small 1/1.7” sensor coupled with the Venus Engine does manage to spit out images with pleasing colors and a good contrast. What it does lack ho...

  • Sometimes you don't want to carry a big SLR to get quality images, and that's why cameras like the Panasonic LX7 were born. Small enough to fit into a biggish pocket, the Lumix LX7 has an excellent lens and a good quality image sensor, both tuned to ca...

  • Very likely. The LX7 has placed itself squarely in the middle between the S100 and the RX100, in terms of both price and performance. The S100 is slightly cheaper (by 20 bucks) and way more pocketable, but photos arent quite as good. The RX100 is more ex...
