Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3


$500.00 Released September, 2008

Product Shot 1 The Pros:Intelligent Auto mode. F2.0 - Good low light performance. Attractive professional aesthetic.

The Cons:Accessory availability. 2.5x optical zoom. Expensive for the majority of consumers.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 is another of Panasonic's new crop of wide-angle digital cameras. With only 2.5x optical zoom, the DMC-LX3 is has the smallest zoom range of any Lumix wide-angle cameras. It seems that with the DMC-LX3 Panasonic's intention is to create a camera that does one thing really well, rather than many things decently.
