Here’s what Digital Camera Magazine said about the LX100 when they compared the best Large Sensor Compacts:
"The newest camera on test, the LX100 combines everything that is great about the Micro Four Thirds range with a versatile 24-75mm zoom lens. Plenty of control options, including a traditional aperture ring and shutter speed dial, can give way to full automatic when you want to concentrate on composition.
An excellent built-in viewfinder makes this feel closer to SLR shooting than some of the other compacts in the group, and the view inside is clear and bright. There’s also built-in Wi-Fi for remote shooting and quick sharing of your images. The only major downside is that the screen isn’t touch-sensitive.
What’s good: A superb viewfinder includes a sensor for detecting when the camera is lifted to the eye.
What’s bad: There’s no room for a built-in flash, but one is supplied in the box.
Verdict: A dream for enthusiasts. 5 stars out of 5."
