Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 Review

I’m asked all the time which camera I use to make my videos for projects like Kitchen Table Talks, or my many book reviews. Well, here it is, the Panasonic DMC-LX3 (amazon affiliate link). It is my most favorite point and shoot camera that I’ve ever owned. What I like most about it is that it’s small and fits in my jacket or pants pocket quiet easily.

It takes SD memory and has a rechargeable battery pack. It shoots in standard size (4:3), widescreen (16:9), and even 3:2 (not sure what that’s called). I also quite like the fact that it shoots snaps really easily with the autofocus features but that it also makes for really great video quality in high definition.

I’ve had it sense September 2009 and it’s been my favorite camera and video rig to date. Obviously, it doesn’t have an external mic so it’s not like it’s *super* versatile, but it’s served me quite well.

    The best offers going at the moment for the Panasonic DMC LX3 – it is relatively pricey compared to what you can get for a lower price range with other camera makes and models, I personally recommend the Canon powershot 200 which costs less and does quite a bit more.

    I used to work in Panasonic's Imaging Group and, as such, own a # of Lumix models – the ZS (formerly known as TZ) series has always been my favorite for ease of use and picture quality. After reading these comments and other reviews, I may need to step up to an LX3.

    Thanks a landlord it! I acquired yet some insight. Life is so colorful, we should be able to live in, such as Korea and honor the planet. Human life is like rivers, slowly flowing, flowing rivers, flowing through the snow, flows through the prairie and ultimately into the sea, return to the embrace of nature, start a new reincarnation. Allow us to feel the meaning of life will come only to those you have those memories http://www.cheap-nikeshox.com/nike-shox-R5.html

    Chris, I have a Panasonic Lumix TZ5 and I am right there with you. I love the quality of pictures it takes and the HD video is awesome too. The one thing I see that your model has is the ability to add an additional flash. That would be an awesome addition! Even though I have a flip cam too, I still find myself using the Panasonic for more of my videos.

    Can you say where I can get a lens cap like the one you are using on the LX3, I want one. I keep forgetting to unclip the lens cap that came with my dmc-fz38 when I turn the camera on and I’m afraid I will eventually damage the motor. A lens cap like your one would solve my problem.

    hey Chris~ i have trouble opening my video files because they always show up as JPEG files on my computer. you know any solution. i tried downloading quick time before but it wouldn’t play on that either b/c the file is still a JPEG file.
