The camera is just what I was looking for. I have a Nikon D850 with many lenses but when traveling I often want a small camera that I can carry without compromising the quality of the photos. Unfortunately with the current restrictions due to covid-19 i have had four major trips cancelled and it appears that may be more will also be cancelled.  I do carry this camera when I travel locally by auto and find it is very good with pictures I want without planning a major camera outing.

This point and shoot exceeds expectations

Great camera for the money, compact, rich features, easy to use.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX100

I bought this to have something lighter than my DSLR but could still give me manual control over my shots. I think this will be perfect for travel and situations where I wish I had my camera but didn't bring the full monty- it's capable of taking beautiful images. It would never replace my pro camera, but it's a great little camera.

Good kick around camera for professionals

Great camera.  I love the way it handles.  Everything is well thought out so you are able to focus on the photos you want to take.  This is so important.  No weird menus that get in your way.  Shutter speed, Aperture, Program mode, exposure compensation, Iso are all easily set.  The lens is sharp and the jpeg colors are beautiful.  I have owned over 50 cameras over the years.  For a portable travel or street camera, this is the best I have ever used.

Superb Camera

Although it has a somewhat limited fixed telephoto lens, it is sharp and loaded with features.  Does everything well.  Not a pocket camera but very portable.  Only 12 usable megapixels but the super sharp lens makes up for it.

great camera

This camera is nearly 4 years old now. That's like 28 in Technology Years. Where is the LX200??

Ancient technology

Other than missing a flip out screen, this camera astounds! If it’s the results that are important to you, then this camera is a bargain.

Little camera, old technology, great great results.

Great camera, so far just using on automatic settings and it takes fantastic lowlight shots.  Full daylight shots can come out a little overexposed. Quick response and easy to use.

Fantastic camera

I'm an experienced DSLR and advance Compact user. This replaces my LX 5 which always exceeded my expectations. So far the images are great when everything is set right and the environment is is good. After only a few test shots and 2 days use the camera evoked a Focus System Erroe and was inoperable. Using tips from the internet, after about an hour I was able to clear the error. But now, after this experience and the commonality of this error I don't trust the camera for use on important events. Also, while the available manual controls are one reason I chose it, some are hard to access, learn and use. Focus operation in particular is of course critical but can be confusing and slow the capture process down. It remains having to prove itself to me.

Very Good but not Perfect

Highest quality point and shoot camera from an image perspective.  Excellent in low light.

Best Point & Shoot Value

This camera is phenomenal. As another reviewer commented, it truly is a dream. What I'm most impressed with is its ability to perform in low-light. I'm almost liking this more than my Canon D-SLR that costs three times the amount (without a lens). It's practical, compact and usable in so many different situations. If it wasn't for the subpar LCD/EVF, I wouldn't have a single negative observation.

I'm not much of a gear head but...

Although introduced in 2014, this camera is still viable. I love the full array of manual controls including a shutter speed dial, aperture ring, format selection and exposure compensation dial. Quality build and just the right size (compact, but not pocketable) it feels just right in my hands. As a micro four-thirds camera, the sensor size is ample, and the resolution viable (12.7 megapixels). The F1.7 - 2.8 aperture and 24 - 75 mm zoom is a little modest especially with the zoom range, but is acceptable for most of my needs. Also, there is an EVF that may not be the best, but suits me just fine especially considering most of the compacts these days only have a rear screen. Overall, I love this camera. It hearkens back to my first SLR or a classic rangefinder.

Still a viable camera

It is a big suprise for me. Good quality and nice price with a lot of things.

Good camera

The camera is extremely simple to operate, has a great lens, but it is definitely not a professional camera. Does great in low-light, but again, expect graininess, and pixelation because of the small image sensor. For most people not professional, you will be very happy with this camera.

Good Overall

This is so handy to carry compared to my DSLR cameras,. I like the quality of the pictures, I still take my DSLR with the Zoom in it just in case I needed zooming an object, otherwise, this small Lumix is just enough to point and shoot.

Cristal clear...

Compact I was looking far. Fast autofocus, good pictures, multiple modes, great customizability.

Great compact

I have enjoyed using this camera, I love the square format option, the camera shoots great quality videos.
The one problem my camera has it that somehow dust gets into the camera and onto the image sensor. I've had it cleaned 2x and it needs a cleaning again. I keep it in a case but I think the zoom lens somehow draws in dust when it retracts. I've even had a repair person replace a seal on the lens but still the same problem. Other than that the camera is great.

dust

I bought this camera to take travelling so I don't have to take my big DSLR. I like the manual features and so far I am pleased with photo quality. My biggest problem is transferring the photos off of the camera. I FINALLY after MUCH difficulty and googling got my PC connected to the camera via the wifi, and then discovered that there is no way to transfer the photos all at once; you have to select them one by one. What if I have a full 64GB card and I have to manually select 8000 photos? Ridiculous. I then tried to plug the camera into my computer via the provided cable, but my computer does not recognize the device no matter what I do and won't allow me access to transfer photos that way.

Of course there are many other ways to transfer the photos, so I will use one of those options, the easiest being transferring them via an SD card reader straight to my iPad or external hard drive.

The wifi function does work fairly well using the app, but I don't want to transfer my photos to my (almost full) iPhone. I realize that most things are optimized for mobile at this point, but I still edit my photos on my PC and am disappointed that it is so difficult to directly connect my camera to the PC and transfer the photos.

photo transfer need WORK

For me, it is the best camera for all occasions!

The LX100  demands art approach, and basic knowledge of photobusiness. This camera satisfies all my requirements!

I recommended this camera to all my clients.  It's my favorite little points & shoot cameras. It beats taking a iphone picture or lugging a DSLR. Its perfect for family's and vacations pics. And it can upload to social media.

Best Point and shoot camera

Good video and picture quality. Excellent for street photography but the battery doesn't last long. Zoom is not that good though.

Big surprises also come with small devices

I love this camera. It has everything I am looking for. It is replacing a Nikon P300 which was great for the time I had it. The Panasonic will continue as my vacation/travel camera.

The bundle was a great deal. I got it especially because it included a battery and memory card which I would have had to purchase separately. 

Unfortunately the screen protector was only 3 inches and the glass area on the back is 3.25 inches so I had to order another one. The tripod is back-ordered but I haven't been charged for it and I am in no hurry, so no big deal there.

great camera for the right purposes

The image quality of this camera is great, navigating and using it is easy, and it gives you lots of control over settings and adjustments.
I've been looking for a compact camera under ($) for hobby photography and this camera has satisfied my needs so far, and it was much lower in cost than my maximum budget.

Great image quality for a compact camera

This is my second LX100, the first being damaged in an accident.  I tried going without it for a while, but missed it a LOT despite owning a great SLR and another small enthusiast camera.

The LX100 has a great lens (sharp, wide aperture, usable but limited zoom range, macro-focusing), a great sensor for 4k video and for stills, and terrific controls (an honest aperture ring and shutter speed dial, both with automatic positions to give you easy access to all shooting modes).  There's an exposure dial on top of the camera that's very handy in any automatic mode, but perhaps a little too easy to move accidentally.  The menus provide pretty much everything that you'll find on a good SLR, and three programmable buttons allow you to customize the camera to make most things that you'd want to do quick and easy.

It'll fit in many coat pockets, but it's a bit too large to be considered pocketable.  Still, it's pretty small and unobtrusive when worn on a neck-strap.

Once you know it, the controls allow you to do whatever you want really quickly.  Its flexibility and the quality of the images, including in low light, are remarkable.  If you want to think about what you're doing with a camera and want something pretty small, then the LX100 should be a top candidate for you.

Superb all-round compact get-it-done street camera

I wanted a high quality digital camera that I could put in a coat pocket with 1. a fast lens, 2. telephoto, 3. a good viewfinder, 4. full manual controls, 5. good video. The lx100 does all of that. The only thing I wish was different was that there was a longer zoom. I switched from a canon G16 and the longer zoom was very useful.

As far as using it, my advice is to to adjust the custom photo style so that your JPEGs look the way you want them too. Most people seem to lower the contrast and the noise reduction and up the sharpening. Or else just shoot RAWs.

almost exactly what I was looking for

I have had this camera for several months and simply love it!!! It has the right combination of features and excellent build quality. There's simply no camera out in the market today that has the following combination of features: relatively large sensor (1" sensor is still too small), sharp bright zoom lens, great set of manual controls, and decent 4K video.

I look forward to an update on this fantastic camera. I would love to see the following up-spec and additional new features: higher pixel count on the M3/4 sensor, even better low light performance (usuable up-to iso6400 or iso12800), same sharp lens but with a stop of two more brightness, 5 axis stablization, and a better resolution display that tilts.

Love to see a newer version of this camera

As a pro, I appreciate that this camera gives me easy control over f-stop, shutter speed, ISO, and most other shooting parameters. It's so small it fits in a coat pocket, and so lightweight that I hardly notice it when I hang it around my neck. I haven't done too much video as yet, but the video options are easy to use so I know I'll be using it more and more. The main drawback is it's limited optical zoom range, with a 35mm equivalent of 28 to 75 mm. Great for indoor and landscape shots, but not quite long enough for zooming in on distant subjects. It does have extended and digital zoom options, which bring the zoom up to 150 or 300mm, so I'll be experimenting with these to see how much they degrade image quality. But I think this camera will be ideal for most of what I shoot when traveling.

Almost everything I need when I travel

Fairly new to photography. But I do my research to get what I believe will be the best product for me. I am very happy with this purchase. Thanks Adorama.

First Impression: Happy.

To those of us who grew up shooting film, the LUMIX LX100 is just a dream come true. For the vast majority of shooting situations I can quickly and easily set the LX100 to get the results I want. It's all there in my hands with only the rarest trip into the digital menus! The results, too, are terrific.

The LX100 is my first Panasonic camera and yet the learning curve was very fast. It's a very well thought out product. Feels just right in one's hands. It you spent years shooting with film SLR cameras or additional years shooting with DSLRs, this one improves on both. Check it out!

This is a Photographer's Dream Camera

There are times when i don't want to carry a big DSLR or when having a DSLR at a small gathering would be intrusive.  This fills  in perfectly.  It can be used full manual to full automatic. Photo quality is not as good as my DSLR but good in the right conditions.  I wish the flash has more power and would tilt up, but I'm still happy with the camera.
