The creation of Panasonics' Lumix DMC-LX3 was for the more intermediate to professional photographer. While it does not appear to be a professional camera, because its design is that of a point-and-shoot camera, its features help to produce professional grade images. Regardless of your photography level, any consumer can easily use the DMC-LX3 and produce high quality photographs.
The DMC-LX3 is a 10.1-megapixel camera. It has a 2.5x optical zoom along with features such as Optical Image Stabilization, Intelligent Auto Mode, RAW support, ISO 80-1600, and more. Even though it only measures in at 2.34 x 4.28 x 1.06-inches, it still encompasses a nice sized display. The 3.0-inch LCD display allows consumers to view images - immediately - at a 460,000-dot resolution.
Like many other cameras, the DMC-LX3 comes with auto face detection and autofocus tracking features. The two technologies work side-by-side offering optimized focus on still and moving objects. AF technology, on this particular model, can actually detect up to 15 faces in one shot, and adjust exposure and focus ideally for each.
There are 24 different preset shooting modes available on the DMC-LX3. These options are available for those with a little less expertise, but want to shoot the same quality pictures. For the more advanced users, you can manually adjust ISO, aperture, and shutter modes. ISO settings can be adjusted anywhere from 80 to an expanded 6,400.
Not only can you capture still images with the LX3, but video as well. The LX3 offers high-def video, with sound, at a resolution of 1,280 x 720. This resolution set will only allow the capture of 24fps; however, you can capture 30fps if you set the resolution to a lower setting.
The Lumix DMC-LX3 comes with 50MB of internal storage, which typically is not enough for the avid photographer. It also accepts SD/SDHC and Multimedia cards. SD/SDHC memory cards typically work better with the LX3.
The DMC-LX3 has three connectivity ports: USB 2.0, NTSC video output, and high-def component video output. Transferring and viewing images and videos are easy with these connection options and easy access to the ports.
There are very few differences between the new LX3 and other Lumix models. Their original builds were solid enough that there has been no need to change them. This allows consumers to easily transition from an older LX to the new DMC-LX3. The compactness, of the camera, allows it to fit smoothly in the palm of your hand and easily access different functions with your fingertips.
On top of being ergonomic, it has a very solid build. With a metal body, firm buttons, and hidden ports, the LX3 can definitely withstand daily usage. Its durability will allow it to hold up under pressure and even the occasional fall.
Panasonic has outdone themselves once again with the release of the Lumix DMC-LX3. They have provided photographers - of any level - with a functionally easy to use point-and-shoot camera. For only $500 you easily fit this model into your budget. - 17944
