Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 Digital Camera – Review – The Imaging Resource!

Smaller than a dSLR recommendations

David asked me, OK, zooming back (no pun intended), if you want a smaller camera, what are the realy choices:

Well, unless you are going for a pro-grade compact camera like the soon to launch $500 Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3, probably your main criteria is being small and OK pictures which is what you are going to get. Overall, it is interesting how cameras have not improved much from my trusty SD500 and Fuji F11 [...]

Canon PowerShot G10 (G9 as a preview)
September 6th, 2008 · No Comments · Geek
This is coming out in October, but is a pretty big update. A reason to wait before buying a LX-3, I think. Popphoto had the notice. The previous G9 did get very good reviews (it is 12MP vs. the 15MP in the new G10)
14.7 megapixels (wow!)
28-140mm 5x zoom
3 inch LCD
RAW support
