  • As a point and shoot camera for those wanting to upgrade to something better or a smaller back up for someone owning a G-series compact, the LX7 cuts the proverbial mustard, but, despite being as consistently competent and reliable as one might hope, in p...

  • Relatively lightweight and compact dimensions for a metal build enthusiasts’ camera, bright aperture lens, built-in visual effects, hotshoe and accessory port for attachment of optional extras, such as an EVF
  • Fixed screen LCD, priced not a great deal cheaper than one of Panasonic’s interchangeable lens G-series compacts system cameras

  • Tactile aperture control, Sharp lens, Impressive stills output
  • Some noise at high sensitivities, A little more expensive than the competition
  • A supremely tactile camera, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7 is one compact you'll really enjoy using. The wide aperture at either end of the zoom allows for some shallow depths of field and attractive defocused areas, but check out the similar EX2F from Sa...

  • Good build quality, handles well, good balance between simplicity and advanced functions, Very fast lens at all focal lengths (telephoto aperture at f/2.3!), Excellent responsiveness, even when shooting RAWJpeg, Lens quality very good from f/2.8, sensor g
  • Lens ring can only be used to control aperture—only useful in A and M modes, Not many customisable controls, High sensitivity settings aren't handled as well as in the Sony RX100, Colours are a little cold in video mode
  • The Panasonic LX7 is a very good follow-up to the LX5. We would no doubt have lauded it with praise had it arrived back in the spring, but unfortunately (for Panasonic), Sony has revolutionised the expert compact market with the RX100 and Panasonic hasn't...

  • The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7 may not score as highly as other recently reviewed cameras, such as the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 and Fujifilm X10, but it is still a very capable camera and the best Lumix LX camera yet. The introduction of an aperture ring an...

  • On paper, you'd expect the Panasonic LX7 to perform as well as or better than its vaunted rivals, the Sony RX100 and Canon S110. With a Leica-branded f/1.4 lens, a 1/1.7-inch image sensor, and the processing power to shoot 12 frames per second and 1080/60...

  • Good design, Great digital filters, Full manual control, Raw format shooting, Excellent screen
  • Not a touchscreen, Small sensor
  • With lots of fantastic features and brilliant image quality, Panasonic has produced a compact camera to be proud of with the LX7. With a wide maximum aperture of f/1.4, the ability to shoot in raw format and full manual controls, many people will surely ...
