The camera is 10.1 megapixels, has a three inch display and imaged stabilized zoom as well. We encourage you to check out several Lumix reviews so you can obtain a very good overall concept of its capabilities.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5 is referred to as a "bridge camera" as it bridges the gap between professional, good quality DSLRs and simple foolproof point-and-shoot cameras. It comes along with all customizable options like shutter speed, aperture, ISO and it is reasonable as compared to DSLR.

What really drew me to the Panasonic Lumix LX5 was here is how it had so many different attributes that I can use. I love the unpredictability and excitement generated by slide films from film cameras, now known as the "lomo" phenomenon. However, film cameras are clumsy and costly to maintain. The Lumix LX5 solved all my headaches because it comes along with many creative effects such as "black and white" and "saturated" which can be further customized in terms of contrast and saturation. Lumix LX5 has a color mode that permits customization without restrictions. Should you always read several Panasonic Lumix reviews prior to making your final selection.

I also fell in love with the wide angle lens. Leica is famous for manufacturing high-end cameras costing thousands of dollars and I was very fortunate to receive a premium Leica lens with my distinctly more affordable LX5. In the course of my journeys, I was able to photograph sharp, lifelike images, without having distortion and by using the 24mm, 35 mm equivalent lens, I captured beautiful sunsets and sweeping vistas. The holiday shots I created never failed to make my associates and family gasp in amazement. This is bolstered by the enhanced zoom range of 24mm to 90mm. When I photographed a bald eagle in Alaska, I could see its specific feathers in the photo even though the eagle was quite some distance away.

The LX5 also shoots excellent images in low-light conditions. If you've ever been skiing, or participated in other winter sports, you'll realize here is how difficult it is to acquire a very good shot of a snowy landscape when there isn't much sunlight. The snow appears grey, coarse and dull. By raising the ISO to 1200, I was able to get continuously reproducible high-quality results even during gloomy weather, without reducing image quality. This makes the LX5 a really all-weather camera, particularly if you invest in a solid waterproof case.

There is one minor issue worth bringing up in this comprehensive review. I believe I concur with many other Lumix LX5 reviews when I say that I really don't like the removable lens cap. You can miss the shot of live actions entirely because of the time delay in taking off the lens cap out the lens cap. You can misplace it easily too. Since there are all of these great attributes at this inexpensive cost, I'm certainly being picky.
