Customer Review

Here are a few experiences with the Lumix LX 100 that I use for a few weeks.
First briefly to my Photo History: I am becoming 'big' using analog Olympus (OM 1 OM 2). Erts digital experience with Kodak compact, then Bridge (Z740), finally Sony DSC R1: A very good camera, especially the appearance and operation. But now no longer quite state of the art, particularly with respect. Autofkusgeschwindigkeit, viewfinder and noise performance. Therefore long search for a replacement. Criteria for me:
Operation via dials, little menus
Manual focus must function well
Relatively lichtstarkers lens (better than 3.5)
Compact and lightweight
Electronic viewfinder
Sensor size is at least 1 inch

The Lumix fulfilled all.
In practice: The image quality is excellent up to ISO 800. Until 3200 very well usable. With 12,800 you can still take pictures that can recognize the essential and to 13x18 are good enough. 25600 only if nothing else goes. The operation is, once you've set everything for itself, very simple and fast. The viewfinder is excellent, bright and very well resolution. Also fast enough, some reviews have problems, I can not confirm. The autofocus is extremely fast and works very well and fast even in low light (eg ISO 1600, Blene 1.7, 1/15). The assist lamp does not need. The included flash is very weak (LZ 7 at ISO 100); Who wants to flash, should buy another! The Panorama function works very well, even viewing the panoramic image with automatic swing is a beautiful thing. The manual focusing works well, also thanks to the Focus Peaking.
What I did not like so much:
1. The viewing photos can only happen if you turn on the camera, with the lens then extends. Better would be a function such as with my Canon IXUS: There you can simply press the play button when the camera and the pictures are displayed without the lens extends.
2. You do not see the manual focus distance in meters or cm
3. The battery indicator is very coarse with three bars. The Sony R1 has the better, the indicated remaining minutes and that was true quite well.
4. You can not display the focal point in the finished photo.
5. There is no HDMI cable and no AV cable included.
