Panasonic DMC-LX3 Reviews:

DCR Panasonic DMC-LX3 Review

"At a street price of $500 or less, the LX3 provides solid performance and capability, but comes dangerously close to the price of entry level DSLRs the LX3 outperforms many other compact cameras, it is a solid little camera with a great deal of photographic potential."

Let Go Digital Panasonic DMC-LX3 Review

"Color reproduction is extremely accurate and the vivid colors offer a fresh result rich in contrast, the improved dynamic range and you're fine with ISO range up to and including 400. It might not be perfect yet, however; the improvement is huge."

Camera Labs Panasonic DMC-LX3 Review

DCI Panasonic DMC-LX3 Review

"it has a quality Leica lens, and its design is a wondrous nod to its past. The LX3 has excellent manual controls, expandability, and a solid feel we wish was in more point-and-shoot cameras. Yet, at the same time, it scored poor to average on most of our tests.."

Pocket-Lint Panasonic DMC-LX3 Review

"Shadow and highlight detail are very good thanks to the better dynamic range, as is colour saturation, and because you can shoot RAW – key for the enthusiast market – it competes well against competitors "

Good Gear Guide Panasonic DMC-LX3 Review

"Noise performance was about what we expected. Everything up to ISO 400 was usable and suffered only minor graininess."

Photography Blog Panasonic DMC-LX3 Review

"There is virtually no discernible noise at the slowest settings of ISO 80, 100 and 200, and ISO 400 also looks fine, with some noise creeping in. More obvious noise and slight loss of detail is apparent at ISO 800, particularly in the shadow areas."
