Update Pros and Cons

Pros

Panasonic lumix dmc-lx5 is one of the most successful high-end digital cameras on the market. It's usually the flash that i'm hand holding. However, the lx5 is my favorite and hear the lx7 is somewhat better. I particularly like the way the l x5 handl... Read More

It is somewhat larger than many point-and-shoot cameras, but it still fits comfortably in a pocket. Perhaps that is the downside to having an excellent camera that will still fit in a shirt pocket. I like having those options in a camera small enough ... Read More

Manual mode is very useful, especially as it allows to adjust exposure time & aperture (& zoom) even while recording the video! My only criticisms are the relatively limited zoom, the weak (in my eyes) anti-shake algorithm, and the difficulty ... Read More

Controls are easy, menu is simple and the feel is nice, too. But this camera has a following among people who like the dials and *. Takes some studying to use features.

Cons

This camera is great but keep in mind these major cons:-the video quality is horrible. One user said panasonic found a little bit of dust/sand which voids the warranty. There's a huge down side to this camera though, it produces yellow artifact in you... Read More

The auto setting is more often than not over exposed. I even wonder if panasonic had photographers to test this camera.

The lx5 resets the exposure back to zero which is a huge pain. I am no expert but there is something suspicous about the way the lens is cut that is not as smooth as the lx3.

Quality

Photo quality is what really keeps me loyal to my lx-5.

Photos as well as video capture quality is also very good.

The ipod is ok, but when using the large mac screen, you can easily tell by eye which photos were taken with the lumix.

It may seem mundane to compare the quality to an ipod (or my old 5 mp canon a95), but the ipod is my current alternate digital ... Read More

Price

The price was right and amazon delivered promptly.

My plan for first step was just to go back to what i know, i bought a used 35mm nikon and shot film, great fun but oh my how ex... Read More

Packaging/appearance

Gotten a lot of use and quality photos out of the lx5.

Competitiveness

I recommend it to anyone wanting a high-quality camera that is also easy to use & carry.

Great camera, imo better than lx3 or lx7 - panasonic lumix dmc-lx5 10.

I just got the newer lx7 and i love it.

My old sony cybershot finally bit the dust.
