How to select the right Panasonic point-and-shoot



The LX series



Like how Ferrari cars are highly desirable to automobile fanatics, the LX-series of shooters are the luxury performers. The retro-styling reminds us of rangefinder cameras from the old days, and the complete set of exposure modes together with a variety of scene options make snappers in this series a good companion to photographers who want a camera that offers the same amount of control they have with more advanced cameras.

In this series


Lumix DMC-LX3
Even before its release, this point-and-shoot has created lots of buzz in the imaging industry. Keeping with the LX tradition, the LX3 lets you change the aspect ratio between 4:3, 3:2 and 16:9 with ease for more creative framing. The large sensor size also ensures maximum image quality even at high ISO sensitivity and the wide range of shooting control options will most probably satisfy even the pickiest photographer.

Other related model: LX2
Quick summary
This camera is probably more suitable for the seasoned photographer who doesn't need a long zoom range, but crave for more shooting controls and options.

From a pretty long Nikon user, I switched to FX-33 wth the iA more than a year ago and absolutely no regrets. Very good for amateur photographers with no so steady hands =)

I didn't know there were external flashes available for the FZ series (I have the FZ18). I thought that was the realm of Canon compacts.

You also mis-labeled the FZ series as "LX Series"
