    • Product Rating: 8 star(s) Wide format and Leica lens make this camera worth owning
      by ldfgks, May. 8, 2008
    • Pros: The 16:9 format of this camera is perfect for widescreen and HDTV viewing, and the Leica lens is out of this world.
    • Cons: Poor high ISO picture quality due to excessive noise reduction.
    • Comments:
      This is a great camera for well-lit landscapes and travel photography. The 16:9 format is perfect for HDTV viewing, and the Leica lens is extremely sharp and color-corrected. The main downside is low-light shooting, where any ISO higher than 100 results in noise reduction artifacts. I recommend keeping the ISO set at 100, and the noise reduction to "low" for best results. ...

      by Terry Sullivan
    • Pros: High megapixel count. Can quickly and easily change aspect ratio. Excellent still image quality. RAW capabilities. High ISO. Large 2.8-inch LCD.
    • Cons: Very slow recycle time. Shutter lag. Video has a grainy quality, and the high-def mode shoots at only 15 fps.

      Panasonic introduced the Panasonic Lumix DMC LX2, successor to the LX1, which has received high acclaim for its unique 16:9 wide CCD, plentiful functions, and smart design. The Panasonic LX2 inherits the f/2.8 28mm wide angle LEICA DC lens, 4x optical zoo...

      This camera's ability to capture images in wide-screen format is unique and useful, but the DMC-LX2 is a tad bulky for a point-and-shoot. ...

    • Product Rating: 4 star(s) Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX2
      by Online Shopper
    • Pros: Good resolution, sharp results with lots of detail (particularly at ISO 100), Unique 'widescreen' 16:9 sensor, 28mm wideangle (16:9 mode only), Comprehensive photographic control, High quality construction, lovely design, Good edge-to-edge lens performanc
    • Cons: Noisy sensor and excessive noise reduction at all ISO settings. Low NR setting not low enough, Underpowered flash, Auto flash mode tends to choose 1/30th second shutter speed (and a high ISO in auto ISO mode), Occasional exposure / dynamic range problems
    • Comments:
      The Lumix LX1, announced July 2005, was a camera that proved just how commited Panasonic is to shaking up the digital camera market with innovative, often quirky products rather than taking the easy (though unimaginitive) 'me too' route followed by so man...

    • Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX2 Digital Camera - Review
      by Dan Havlik
    • Pros: Triple wide feature set of 16:9 lens, 16:9 image sensor and 16:9 LCD is a hit, Sporty compact design combines classic rangefinder elements with contoured modern style, Very speedy all-around performance with virtually no shutter lag when you pre-focus., J
    • Cons: Images shot at 1,600 and above too noisy for printing, Weak dynamic range in images shot in anything but the softest of light; some shots lacked "pop", Slow playback of full resolution images on LCD, Oversaturated reds and blues in images more appealing t
    • Comments:
      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,...
