Panasonic Lumix LX1 review

The LX1’s unique image sensor’s native aspect ratio is 16:9, it has a 4x zoom and an optical image stabilizer, and has excellent build quality
The R817 packs in some clever tech including Adaptive Lighting, in-camera red-eye reduction and panorama previews
The Nikon D50 claims a battery power of up to 2000 shots and although it lacks a memory card, comes with battery, charger, cables and software
The E-300 is easy to use and for the budget end of the market can turn out some decent results
The Pentax *ist DL is small and cheap with the photographic controls of a semi-pro camera
The 350D gives you eight megapixels for the price of six and a box packed full of accessories
The V570 uses its extra lens to create 180° panoramas from just three photos. It’s a head spinner
The 7MP 750Z produces A4 prints and even A3 enlargements, from a camera small enough to fit in your pocket
The Duo Cam is two cameras melded together; one for movies and the other for stills, with mixed results
Flash is a little slow. Needs to be connected to dock for picture exchange with computer. Colours can be a little washed out
Leica’s photographic heritage shines through with a quality piece of kit. It’s not the quickest camera ever, though.
