8.0 out of 10 (Excellent)
“Despite its shortcomings, notably its weak JPEG processing, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5 delivers an excellent all-around shooting experience--fastest in its class, full featured, and capable of shooting some very nice photos.”
Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5 - Review

Dave's Pick
“If you want to learn, if you want to grow as a photographer or even an advanced snapshooter, the Panasonic LX5 is a great choice. If you already own an SLR and want to have something smaller that does a little more than the average pocket camera, and has a fast, worthy optic, the LX5 is one of the better choices. Travelers, journalists, camera aficionados, businesspeople, hobbyists, anyone with a vision they'd like to record and share should all give the Panasonic LX5 a closer look.”
Enthusiast Compact Camera Group Test (Q4 2010) Review: Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5

“Successor to the popular LX3, the LX5 brings a host of improvements and new features, including an excellent multi-aspect sensor, a slightly more versatile optical zoom range, and better ergonomics. It's not the fastest compact around, but it is a great camera for the enthusiast photographer or DSLR user who wants something a little smaller.”
