Panasonic Lumix LX100 Review Part II – Fast zoom, 4K video, 4K photo & more

Introduction

Back in December, I published my first impressions of the Panasonic Lumix LX100, the company’s first premium compact with a large 4/3s sensor. In the weeks that have passed since then, I’ve spent most of my days shooting with it in a variety of situations, from our Christmas celebrations in Italy and France to our mini-vacation around Lake Como. My colleagues would joke that the only time you wouldn’t see it around my neck was when I went to bed. (Quite the exaggeration!)

First impressions of the Panasonic Lumix LX100 – Is it a worthy premium compact?

The Lumix LX100 is the first premium fixed-lens compact camera from Panasonic to house a four-thirds sensor, which is twice as large than the 1” sensors found on the likes of the RX100 series and Canon G7X. This is a big step-up from the popular LX7, the LX100’s predecessor, which was released more than two years ago and whose sensor was only 1/1.7″. Of all the mirrorless cameras released this year, the LX100 has been met with some of the most excitement, not only due to its large sensor but also owing to its 24-75mm (equivalent) zoom with a fast aperture of f/1.7-2.8.
