Camera OverviewPanasonic DMC-LX100

The Panasonic LUMIX LX100 is a compact point-and-shoot camera built around a Micro Four Thirds sensor delivering 12.8MP resolution. It pairs that sensor with a fixed lens featuring Optical Image Stabilization, making it a capable all-in-one shooter for enthusiasts who want serious image quality in a pocketable package. The camera shoots up to 4K video at 30p and 24p, as well as Full HD at 60p, with color profiles including Cinelike D and Cinelike V for more cinematic-looking footage straight out of camera.

On the photo side, it offers a maximum resolution of 4112x3088, burst shooting at up to 11 frames per second, and an ISO range spanning 100 to 25600. The high-resolution 2,764,000-dot electronic viewfinder refreshes at 60Hz, giving a clear, responsive framing experience. A 3-inch, 921,000-dot LCD provides a solid rear display for review and composition.

Connectivity includes Wi-Fi, USB, and Micro HDMI output, while storage is handled via SD, SDHC, or SDXC cards. The metal and plastic body measures 115.0 x 66.2 x 55.0 mm and weighs 393g, keeping things manageable for everyday carry. A hot shoe allows attachment of an external flash.
