Lumix DMC-LX5 review roundup: great hardware for a not-so-great price

Reviews are starting to trickle out for Pansonic’s LX3 successor, the DMC-LX5 , and so far they all seem to echo similar sentiment. The form factor hearkens back to its Micro Four Thirds darling GF1 , at least from the top, with “dinky buttons” (in CNET UK’s words) on the back reminding you of its point-and-shoot bloodline. The pictures are solid if not characteristically warm — and the ability to simultaneously produce RAW and JPEG files is a nice touch — as is the choice of either Motion JPEG or AVCHD Lite video.

Panasonic Lumix LX5 outed by tech support page, improvements are black and white

Panasonic may be pushing Micro Four Thirds tech these days, but that doesn’t mean it’s forgotten about the pocketable high-end — in fact, full spec sheets and pictures have just leaked from the company’s technical support website, detailing the unannounced latest in the Lumix LX lineup. The 10.1 megapixel DMC-LX5 doesn’t have any revolutionary new features, sadly, but it certainly brings the 2008 LX3 predecessor up to spec in nearly every way, with a longer 3.8x optical zoom lens by Leica, 12,800 ISO mixed-pixel sensitivity and a familiar-sounding AVCHD Lite 720p video recording mode
