The razor in the compact segment

The Lumix LX 5 works in everyday use very persuasive.
While it is not difficult to find light situations where even at ISO 400 sensor noise and the occasional described yellowish-green spots appear, but these are practically irrelevant circumstances. For example, are very weak from the ceiling light lit room corners with dark objects at 90mm focal length (KB) quite well, only those who want the photograph so?

In Aperture 2.0 you barely have problems with motion blur, which might arise from the movements of the people photographed indoors. This is true even among musicians.

The image stabilizer is beyond all doubt. Blurred images occur even in difficult lighting situations hardly.

Lenses always represent a compromise the Leica -. Objective of LX 5 it is well done. What corrects the electronics can know bad, but you have to edit the images actually not. There are no disturbing color fringes, the images are not darker towards the edge and even in buildings is a barrel distortion at wide angle not to notice in real shooting situations.
Some objective, which is more expensive than all the LX 5, makes the work point by point worse.
The imaging software for the RAW format is - well - rather not settled in the league leader in the software sector. Who wants to rework despite good image quality yet comfortable, the need to buy software.

Buy is a little word that can often fall in the LX 5. Because of these potential consequential costs also somewhat unfair comparison with a wet razor.

Of course, there are inexpensive Holsters third party. The Grenada 60 M eg fits quite well. However, this is then a Understand Ment special because the camera acts darinn already packed quite bulky.
Therefore one would very soon have the original leather case. The eliminates the need for the lens cap as well as a practical operation of the camera. In addition, mounting the tripod socket remembers was never sold to the wonderful time as a camera without matching bag.

The camera can of course present a slideshow on your TV. This is even with the included cables. Only one HDMI 1.3 cable (type A and C), which allows you to move the camera and television co-operation and high image quality is not there. However, Panasonic calls the use of the separately to be acquired special HDMI - cable for the LX5.

Can buy you even one optical (frame 24 mm fix) or electronic viewfinder. This is - if you want to access - but ridiculously expensive, but each is well before buying the camera clearly.
Both devices require the hot shoe.

Can buy you also various flash light. The - and that is a strength of the camera - auszufahrende only manually internal flash of the camera is rigidly aligned forward and not just a marvel of luminosity. But for standard situations it is sufficient because of the enormous intensity of the camera and can even flash to the second curtain. Therefore one needs for the classic field of application of a compact camera probably not ever an external flash still the hot shoe per se.

If you do not understand the game with selective focus in "creative ways", you can have fun without end. The LX 5 stands as an SLR not to.

But the little compared to the small format sensor is also an advantage. Which camera with APS-C or full-frame sensor can provide a completely sharp image at f 2.0?

Undoubtedly, the LX is 5 not only really good compact camera. Who can do without the hot shoe has the choice among some much flatter competitors. It is certainly not a camera for your pocket, this is a little too heavy and would interfere. Already on the belt it is comfortable to wear and worn around the neck, they robbed with its classical form any other compact camera the show. It is an offer that you can turn out well - but has earned 5 points without a doubt.
