Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 Digital Camera

At the heart of the DMC-LX3, is its 1/1.63-inch CCD. Making the intentional choice to limit the number of megapixels to 10.1 on its CCD, Panasonic was able to give more space for each pixel and also redesigned the peripheral circuits and other components to further minimize noise generation. As a result, sensitivity is almost 40 percent higher and saturation is increased by 35 percent when compared to Panasonic’s 10 MP digital cameras, giving the DMC-LX3 outstanding image quality and a wide dynamic range, and meeting the demand for a camera that works optimally in low-light environments.

The Background

I never thought I'd buy a Panasonic branded camera.  There.  I've said it.  I am something of a camera snob.  I've owned Rollei, Olympus and Canon cameras and optics (well, mostly Canon for the past 20 years) throughout the past three decades. But... Read full review »

Panasonic DMC-LX3 10.1MP Digital Camera Kit - Silvertone

Catch the moments that matter. The easy-to-use Lumix DMC-LX3 digital camera delivers in-depth, detailed photos thanks to 10.1 megapixel resolution and the f2.0 24mm wide Leica DC Vario-Summicron lens. With Intelligent Auto mode, full manual controls, and a wide array of scene modes to choose from, shooting is easier than ever, so you can focus more on capturing the photo than adjusting the shot. High sensitivity allows you to capture fantastic pictures in any lighting condition, while MEGA optical image stabilization reduces hand shake to ensure crisp, blur-free shots. You can even record video, with plenty of scene modes from which to select. Always keep the Lumix DMC-LX3 by your side--and safe from scratches and bumps--with the included carrying case. And with the class 6 4GB SD memory card, you can let loose your inner shutterbug without worrying about storage. From Panasonic.
