“The noise issue is a problem but not a total deal-breaker for me. You can treat the noise issue with software, and for landscape snapping, the camera’s ISO 80 and 100 are very clean. If you think you’ll snap mostly indoor snapshots in low light, you might want a different camera. Otherwise, the LX1 is an excellent option for the SLR snaper who wants a smaller alternative for occasional use.”

Words from Ben Long who reviewed the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX1 Digital Camera at creativepro.com.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX1 has a broad set of manual controls, image stabilization, and a wide lens and sensor crammed into a compact package. A good choice for aspiring photographers who want the portability of a snapshot camera but a robust manual feature set.
