Digital Photography Review Nov 1, 2008

Panasonic's LX series has always been home to the company's most ambitious compacts, offering a range of photographer-friendly features in a small, stylish and solid body festooned with external controls. It's been two years since the launch of the LX2 and the market has changed a lot...

I've owned a number of Canon, Panasonic, Ricoh, Canon, Olympus, and Minolta cameras over the years and the LX3 really stands out. It's the first P&S with a 24mm lens combined with an f/2.0 aperture, allowing for some great indoor natural light snapshots. No other camera in its class...
