Camera Overview — Panasonic DC-LX100 II
Key Features — Panasonic DC-LX100 II
17MP Four Thirds Sensor: A larger-than-typical Four Thirds sensor gives this compact camera significantly more light-gathering capability than most point-and-shoots, supporting an ISO range of 100–25600.
2.76M-Dot OLED EVF: The built-in OLED electronic viewfinder resolves 2.76 million dots at 60Hz, an uncommon feature in compact cameras that aids composition in bright outdoor conditions.
Fast f/1.7 Leica Lens: The fixed 24–75mm equivalent Leica DC Vario-Summilux lens opens to f/1.7 at the wide end, enabling strong subject separation and low-light shooting in a pocketable form factor.
4K Video Recording: Records 4K footage at up to 30fps, with additional frame rate options at lower resolutions for flexible video workflows.
11fps Burst Shooting: Captures up to 11 frames per second with a 49-point contrast detection autofocus system and subject tracking to keep moving subjects sharp.
Optical Image Stabilization: Lens-based OIS compensates for camera shake during handheld shooting without applying a digital crop to the image.

Description — Panasonic DC-LX100 II
The Panasonic LUMIX DC-LX100 II is a premium fixed-lens compact camera centered on a Type 4/3 (Four Thirds) 17MP sensor driven by the Venus Engine image processor. It covers a native ISO range of 100–25600, making it adaptable across a broad range of lighting situations. The body is constructed from magnesium alloy and polycarbonate, measuring 115.0 x 66.2 x 64.2 mm and weighing 392g, striking a balance between durability and portability.
For image review and composition, shooters can choose between a 3.0-inch fixed touchscreen LCD at 1.24 million dots or the built-in OLED EVF at 2.76 million dots and 60Hz refresh rate. Optical image stabilization (OIS) is built into the fixed lens system. On the video side, the camera captures up to 4K at 30fps in 8-bit, with frame rate options spanning 24fps, 25fps, 30fps, 50fps, and 60fps.
A 49-point contrast detection autofocus system with subject tracking and an 11fps burst mode round out the core performance specs. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Micro HDMI, and USB, with a standard ISO hot shoe for external flash attachment. Storage is handled via SD/SDHC/SDXC cards, and the DMW-BLG10 battery is rated for approximately 340 shots per charge.
