 Panasonic DMC-LX1 - Anti Shake
According to Mark Goldstein: "The main menu system on the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX1 is straight-forward to use and is accessed by pressing the Menu button in the middle of the navigation pad. This camera has an anti-shake system, dubbed Mega O.I.S. In practice I found that it does make a noticeable difference. Thankfully leaving the anti-shake system on didn't negatively affect the battery-life, with the camera managing over 200 shots before the battery needed to be recharged."
Panasonic Lumix DMC LX1 - Image Quality
Mark continues: "The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX1 handled chromatic aberrations extremely well during the review, with only limited purple fringing present around the edges of objects in very high-contrast situations. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX1 produced images of average quality during the review period. The 8 megapixel sensor used in the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX1 may result in larger images, but it comes at the cost of noisy images even at the slower ISO settings. ISO 80 and ISO 100 look fine, but there's already a lot of noise at ISO 200, which isn't exactly a quick speed, and ISO 400 is virtually unusable.
