 Panasonic Lumix LX2 review at PhotographyBLOG : DIWA member Mark Goldstein from PhotographyBLOG has reviewed the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX2 digital camera. The Panasonic LX2 incorporates the f/2.8 28mm wide angle LEICA DC lens, 4x optical zoom (equivalent to 28mm to 112mm on a 35mm film camera) and MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) system in addition to an enhanced CCD capable of 10.2 Megapixels and larger 2.8 inch 16:9 wide LCD. The Panasonic DMC LX2 compact camera also features the Venus Engine III high performance image processing LSI. The High Angle mode makes the display extremely easy to view from low angles, for example, when holding the camera up high to take pictures over a crowd and can be accessed easily and quickly.

 Panasonic LX2 review - Sensitivity
According to Mark Goldstein: "The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX2's dealt quite well with chromatic aberrations, with limited purple fringing effects appearing only in very high contrast situations. Macro performance is average, allowing you to focus as close as 5 cms away from the subject. The built-in flash worked OK indoors, with little red-eye and good exposure. The night photograph was poor, with the maximum shutter speed of 60 seconds allowing you to capture plenty of light, but images that didn't have much detail due to lots of noise."
Panasonic Lumix LX2 digital camera - Scenes and Wide screen
Mark continues: "The new model has the important addition of a 16:9 wide-screen LCD which matches the sensor, making the DMC-LX2 a true wide-screen camera. It still offers a choice of image aspects, from wide-screen 16:9 to the more conventional 4:3., so if you are interested in panoramic photography, but also want to take "normal" images (albeit at a reduced resolution), then the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX2 is a great choice. Other improvements over the original DMC-LX1 are less noteworthy - you may not use the extra scene modes, for example." You want to learn more about the Panasonic Lumix camera?

About PhotographyBLOG
Mark Goldstein started his very active website PhotographyBLOG in January 2003. At first the one and only purpose was to let this site function as one of those popular web logs with Photography as main topic. But as we all know Photography is a pretty big subject to publish about so Mark decided to focus on some hot key points like mentioning all new introductions, reviews, reports from events like PMA and Photokina, sharing some impressive and creative photos and Mark's sole perspective of his feeling about this fascinating world of Digital Imaging. Mark is based in the UK, but his eagle-eye focuses global.
