Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7 review – summary
Compact system cameras might be getting DSLRs in a panic but meanwhile we’re seeing the big players releasing pricey advanced compacts too.
Alongside the RX100 from Sony and Nikon’s new Coolpix P7700, we’ve tested the Panasonic Lumix LX7 and it’s hard to believe a compact can be so clever.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7 review – image quality and autofocus
Though it has a smaller sensor than the Sony, the LX7 (the successor to the Lumix LX5) won us over with its sharp and accurate 10.1MP images, RAW shooting and reassuringly hefty build. It's a beautiful, but chunky, construction.
Autofocus is faster than ever and though the 920k dot LCD screen is great outdoors, you can also add an optical viewfinder via the hotshoe. There's also a neat pop-up flash.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7 review – verdict
From macro and shallow depth of field shots to playing around with the art filters and 1080p video, there’s nothing the LX7 doesn’t do well. Tons of manual controls and fantastic image quality make this a trusty second camera.
