Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5 - 10.1 Megapixel - 1280x720 30p

For some photographers it is important to have the option to manually over-ride the auto-settings of their equipment, without compromising on the quality of image returned. With the Lumix DMC-LX5 you get both; great pictures whether it's you doing the work or the auto presets. The fast reaction time between shots is a big feature of this compact Lumix, as is the wide-angle Leica lens. A little bit bigger than other compacts, the LX5 is still very portable and handles well in all situations. The picture quality is first rate in still or movie mode, and the review/playback of compositions is brilliantly presented on the 3" LCD.
