Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3
Eventually, I’m going to be in the market for a compact camera. The one I have (Canon PowerShot S410) is getting rather old but plays a significant roll in my photo taking. I use my S410 on backpacking trips where weight and size is very critical. Lately, as I’ve learned more about photography, pointing and shooting isn’t getting me the results I desire. I have found times when I’ve wanted a camera that I could have a little more control over. One of the compact cameras that has caught my interest is Panasonic’s Lumix DMC-LX3 which until recently was available for pre-order only.
The Lumix DMC-LX3 is a small camera that fits the bill I need for a backpacking camera, it is a small, lightweight, offers complete control over things such as focus, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, format, and it has a very wide angle for a compact camera (24mm equivalent).
A video review of this camera is available here. This camera is available for purchase on Amazon and other places.
I’m very interested to see reviews and photos from regular people once this camera is out to the general public for a little while.
