Manufacturer's product description
Panasonic today introduced the Lumix DMC-LX2, successor to the DMC-LX1, which has received high acclaim worldwide for its unique 16: 9 wide CCD, plentiful functions, and smart design. The DMC-LX2 inherits the f/2.8 28mm wide angle LEICA DC lens, 4x optical zoom (equivalent to 28mm to 112mm on a 35mm film camera) and MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) system in addition to an enhanced CCD capable of 10.2-megapixels and larger 2.8 16: 9 wide LCD. The DMC-LX2 is unique in that it incorporates triple-wide features of 28 mm wide-angle LEICA DC lens, 16: 9 wide CCD and 16: 9 wide LCD. Not only that, the LX2 is further distinguished from other cameras by its full manual controllability with a joystick allowing users to easily enjoy creative shooting. The DMC-LX2 also boasts Venus Engine III high performance image processing LSI to dramatically reduce the noise that challenged the predecessor, realizing image recording at maximum ISO 1600 high sensitivity setting at full resolution.

...I was bought this as a birthday present this year as i wanted a camera that was compactt, but had a large optical zoom so i went for this one. My dad has got a panasoniclumix, so this was also a partial reason for buying this one.
I have got the silver one, and it is fantastic. I need a digital camera every day for my college work, and only having having it for just over a week, it has been brilliant.
Very quick setup time from getting it out the box, and it comes on very quickly when i need it. The only downside to this camera is that it dosnt come with a case or a larger memory, but to be honest for the price, i dont mind paying a bit more to get the full package.
Overall i love this camera, easy to use and is very stylish...

I treated myself to one of these cameras in the sales after Christmas. I was expecting a larger, SLR-sized camera, but was pleasantly surprised at how light and compact the camera is in reality. The quality of the lens is excellent, and good quality... more
From what i have used of the camera so far this camera will eat up any picture you want to take with it, I makes everything look so good with the massive 10x optical zoom.
The specifications are as follows:
9.1 Mega pixels
10x optical zoom

A couple of weeks ago I was introduced to this tiny digital camera, now there have been plenty tiny digital cameras in the past but none have been all that good. This one however has an unbelievable amount of features for such a small piece of equipment. more
I bought this camera as a replacement for our "family" camera we have used my wife's old 35mm Cannon for taking holiday snaps and felt it was a good time to replace it with a digital. "We" wanted a camera with a good optical zoom, "I" wanted a camera to... more
I had been after a Digital SLR for some time, and when the opportunity arose to buy one I did just that. Well, that's not actually technically true. By rights this camera is not a digital SLR, but in fact a compact 'superzoom' camera, it looks like a... more
