It won't be a problem in Sydney. I use the LX10 in all conditions during the year, and you aren't likely to use f1.4 in bright daylight anyway.

The bitrate for 1080 120p is annoyingly low for that kind of application, and it's only 8bit 420. It will barely hold a grade without artifacting. The lowest 100p I trust not to completely die is from the G9/GH5. It's 8bit 420 but 100mbps. It helps at lot to get the look right in-camera...

My 2c: the LX7 can produce some lovely images, and when shooting raw, the dynamic range is about as good as my Canon 30D from 2006. Not bad for a little sensor. The lens of the LX7 is super sharp, as you already know, and my favourite feature is the 16:9 extra wide aspect ratio. It's more like...

When I started digital photography, I carried my camera everywhere in a zip up clamshell pouch, which were very common back then. It provided reasonable protection and was lightweight. After a few years, I carried things in a small shoulder bag, and haven't stopped. But there are times when I...

I've never used that feature, so I can't comment on it. Didn't even know it was a feature! :p

Frankly, I'm tempted by the G7X III myself. The LX10's reach is a bit limited, I would like to be able to take photos at the football and have been thinking of getting a Sony RX100 with longer reach, or a Panasonic travel zoom with 1 inch sensor. The smaller aperture of the Sony or Panasonic...

I've never missed having an EVF on the LX10, if that's any indication. The LX10 has a pretty bright screen, though. Maybe check the specs of the G7X III's screen.

Teds has the G7X Mk III for just on $999 right now. It doesn't have the EVF of the G5X II, but that's about the only difference I can see apart from the extra range. Camera Lane recently had a LX10 for sale, but it's gone now, I just checked.

I wouldn't put the LX10 in the back of my jeans, but then I don't wear very loose jeans. Styles vary. I prefer the LX10 in a jacket pocket (like a hoodie or zip up jacket) or a small belt pouch. The LX10 is quite deep/thick compared with a IXUS 80. It's a fair bit thicker than the Canon S90 I...

Check your PM's.

Congratulations on your new camera. Despite what I said back in 2018, I still use the LX10 as a complementary/pocket camera. I've accepted that it is a social/cataloguing/doc camera rather than something for landscapes or architecture. The 4k video is excellent, especially in moderate light...

If you read the user reviews on B&H, they aren't that flattering. Although the image quality is what you would expect, the interface is clunky. And it seems you still have to pay a monthly fee for Lightroom support in the camera itself! That can't be right.

I know, the web designer needs to a good wedgie in retaliation for that browsing experience.

There's no way this will cost less than the Sony RX1, see my post above. It has all the bells and whistles of the RX1r plus a better EVF, built in harddrive, new sensor and full new OS. Yashica of Japan made numerous Contax film cameras under license, designed by Zeiss. These included the...

I'm not sure how much less expensive a camera like this could be. I'm thinking it will be in Leica Q territory because it is essentially a Sony RX1r II with a 512 GB SSD, built in Lightroom, WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity and a new sensor designed for Zeiss, plus a new lens design. It's not...

Ah, I get it. The hot shoe cover is completely in line with the body and only looks like a fine rectangular outline. I guess that's in keeping with their minimalist styling.

This would not surprise me in the slightest, and I don't understand how people (read: DPReview hecklers) can expect it to be USD $2000 or something equally daft. If the Sony RX1r II and Leica Q are the prices they are, how can a similar camera with even more technology, from a presumably even...

Oh, it's going to be pricey, alright. I can't imagine this being cheaper than a Sony RX1r II. Probably Leica Q territory because it has a 512GB SSD built in, plus being small production run from a company that hasn't made a camera since the Zeiss Ikon film rangefinder, and has never produced a...

This is a very exciting camera, and very removed from the Sony RX1. Full touchscreen interface Lightroom CC bundled INSIDE the camera 512GB internal SSD instead of memory cards WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity to upload directly to the internet Shutter speed and ISO dials on the top, aperture...

Oh! That's kind of funny. The things stopping me from fully embracing the Ricoh GR as a full everyday camera is the lack of decent video quality, and that I can't quite get the colours to my liking in raw, even after all these years. I haven't used a Fuji X70 but I'm curious about it. The GM...

Since you're selling a GM5 right now, I'm guessing that you bought one and it didn't meet your desires. I bought a LX10 last week and have made a lot of comparisons with the GM1 + 12-32, so if you're still thinking about the LX10, here's some user input. Compared with the GM1/5, the LX10 is...

More thoughts on the LX10 after a week of use. The video quality is great, much better than I expected for a small camera. It's not GH4 quality, but it's a darn sight better than the LX7, and better than the original Olympus E-M5 in terms of sharpness, lack of moire, detail, tonal variation...

The Panasonic LX10 arrived this morning and I've had a chance to play with it. So far, I don't regret my purchase, haha. Having a number of Panasonic cameras including the GM1, GH3, GH4 and LX7, I've come to expect certain features and ways of working with Panasonics, and the LX10 is fine...

Okay, so for the weeks that I've been debating this issue, I've been alternating between the 2009 Ricoh GRD III and the GR. Image quality aside, I'd forgotten just how good the GRD III feels. It's a matte black stealth module that disappears in the palm of your hand. Wear a black jacket and...

That was quick! Of course, the Sony A6300 will be in a totally different league of image quality, but that also shows where you are in terms of what you deem acceptable. I'm still disturbed that my cellphone takes better quality daylight images than quite a few of my earlier cameras including...

Earlier this year, I got a Samsung Note 8, and the daylight images are disturbingly good. Better than the GRD III ever was. But the low light images are quite fuzzy, even when working with the DNG. So there's that. I'd never thought of the Nikon P330/340 or Fuji XQ1/2 until you mentioned...

Hm, that's interesting. I find the LX7 quite acceptable for general photography, with the Ricoh GR being on the upper level of good. GRD III image quality and physical performance is borderline wont-cut-it since I've experienced the LX7. If the LX10 is at least as good as the LX7, and...

The idea of matching batteries appeals to my hypocritical minimalism (how can you be minimalist with multiple cameras, lol), so having a GM1 and a LX10 with the same batteries tickles my fancy. Betterbatt has some decent quality aftermarket batteries for the GM1, so I will likely stock up on a...

The Panasonic LX7 has been my go-to compact camera since the end of 2013, and has blazed through tens of thousands of images over the last three and a half years. It replaced my beloved Ricoh GRD III as my everyday camera due to the much faster operation, wide lens, fast aperture, decent video...

Has anyone seen this before? It's roughly a fixed focal length Sony RX100 with a 31mm f1.8 lens in a waterproof and ruggedized body. It also comes with an underwater housing. Underwater Cameras and Accessories | Sealife Cameras For someone who wants a tough pocket sized 1" sensor camera...

The LX10 could be a viable alternative to the Sony RX100 cameras. I very much like and prefer Panasonic's colour from their raw files, which is something which has put me off buying a RX100. And the GH5 could be a big step up, if Panasonic does this right. I'd be willing to pay $3000 for a GH...

Funnily, the compact I use the most, and find most pleasing in terms of overall look, is the Panasonic LX7. The LX100 looks like a pretty decent camera, but I feel like I'd be comparing it with a m43 camera and primes or the excellent Pana zooms, which is unfair but still a bit of a drawback...

If it shoots raw, it could be a very intriguing camera. That kind of zoom range in a pocket sized camera with a 1" sensor could fill a lot of casual user niches.

What really interests me about this rumoured camera is the possibility of 24mm 16:9 ratio using a m43 sensor. If it holds true to Panasonic's LX series, 24mm at 16:9 will be more like 21.5mm, and with a decent m43 sensor, will have great image quality. Depth of field will be a bit longer...

Congrats! The LX7 is indeed a great camera. I've been happily using mine since Christmas last year, and I'm constantly surprised at how good the images can be. It has the best overall image quality of any small sensor camera I've used over the last few years, including the GRD III and Fuji...

I'm constantly surprised by the IQ of the LX7 as well. Particularly when processing the raws, it punches way above its weight, and handily beats every other small sensor camera I have tried in the last few years, even the Ricoh GRD III and Fuji X10.

If the lens is as long as is purported with a 1" sensor, it would be something in the league of the Sony RX10 and more like a superzoom. That's a completely different camera from the G series. And if they managed to make it more the size of the G1X II, it would cause some confusion in the...

I was very pleasantly surprised with the LX7, which I bought only in December 2013. My baseline of quality tends to be high because I shoot with some pretty decent cameras, but the LX7 amazed me with the kind of colour and quality the images possessed, for a small sensor. The wide angle lens...

@Yeats - going cheap at B&H and Amazon. Got mine for $319, but it might drop back down to $289 sometimes soon! The wide angle is particularly impressive. At 24mm and 16:9 ratio, the image is the same size as a full frame 21.5mm image cropped to 16:9. So, while it's missing the top and bottom...

More testing notes: The LX7 seems a touch sharper in the centre than the Ricoh GRD III, and has the same overall dynamic range, perhaps a little bit more. At 28mm and 4:3 aspect ratio, it covers the same vertical and horizontal fields of view as the GRD III, too. A surprise is that in good...

A quick note about turning off the LCD: this seems to be little known, but engaging the menu option for 'Optical Viewfinder' turns off the LCD altogether. It comes back on when you press the Menu button. Just another little bonus for the stealth shooter. Colours straight out of the camera...

Wide angle test notes: The aspect of the LX7 that interested me the most is the 16:9 wide angle mode. I've been reliably informed (thanks again, Ray) that the 16:9 mode of the LX7 is much closer to 21mm than 24mm, thanks to the Panasonic's multi-aspect ratio sensor. I just put this to the...

After wearing a little patch in the carpet by the door this morning, I was finally rewarded by the arrival of the Brown Truck of Happiness. Initial testing suggests that the image quality of the LX7 is at least as good as the Ricoh GRD III, which is a very good start as that is my all-time...

Well, I've finally done it. A combination of the photos from the fine folks on this forum; the patient answers to my questions (thanks, Ray); and an excellent price at B&H, I've finally ordered the LX7. It has shipped, along with the EVF, spare battery and a Lexar 32gb memory card, and I...

If I'd received mine, I'd have let you know! And yes, the GH3 does 4:2:0, slip of my fingers/mind. You ought to love the Voigtlander 17.5. It's a very solid and heavy lens, much like an old Pentax or Minolta lens in build quality and weight, even moreso than the Voigtlander M-mount lenses...

Congratulations! I'm getting a bit impatient with my dealer, as I seem to be number 2540 on the list for this camera! They've had about 20 come through, and I still don't have mine. But I get a lot of my gear from them, they look after me on price, and fortunately I'm not in a hurry. But...

It looks like a cool concept, but still so chunky! All those square edges show how much volume today's rounded DSLR's actually shave off. A far better preview than another that shall go nameless, where the click-hungry poster basically read the Df's spec sheet for 15 minutes, and had no camera...

It really depends on how important it is to have good quality video. The GR's video "capability" (and I use that word very loosely) is distinctly secondary to its superlative stills quality. Ricoh have never been known for video quality, and in almost all of their cameras, the quality makes it...

The review mentions that the Lunar was at Camera Lane. I might pop over there and see if they still have it, as I'd like to see such a cringeworthy embarrassment first hand!

If the LCD could be turned off, I'd have a Nikon A already. The GR, most recent in a long line of camera that Ricoh knows are used for discreet street photography, allows all lights, noises and LCD to be turned off, with the exception of the green AF confirm light. Apart from that, only the...
