Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7 Reviews
Ephotozine reviews the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7 and writes;
“The camera is compact and feels extremely well built, and while it’s only a pre-production model, the image quality appears to be excellent, with low noise, even at some of the higher ISO settings, and the f/1.4 lens lets you take some excellent photos with out of focus backgrounds.”

Imaging-resource reviews the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7 and writes;
“Bottom line, the Panasonic LX7′s performance is generally very fast, with a few slow areas. Startup is slow, autofocus speeds and shutter lag are faster than average, burst modes are very fast, but buffer clearing is slow.”

Photoreview reviews the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7 and writes;
“The autofocusing system in the LX7 uses the same 23-point multi-segment metering system as the LX5 and focusing modes were also unchanged. We found the camera quick to lock onto subjects in most lighting conditions. The AF-Assist light was helpful for subjects within about two metres of the camera in dim lighting.”

Expertreviews reviews the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7 and writes;
“The LX7 was just as impressive in our image quality tests. The f/1.4 lens is the star of the show, capturing twice as much light as rival cameras’ f/2 lenses, and almost seven times as much as CSCs’ f/3.5 zoom lenses.”

T3 reviews the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7 and writes;
“While cameras such as the RX100 may have a slight edge in terms of sensor size and performance in low light, the LX7 makes up for this thanks to its price, ease of use and stunning image quality that’s still far superior to most compacts on the market. Not only is it an excellent back-up snapper for pros, it also makes it easy for amateurs to get fantastic shots.”

CNET reviews the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7 and writes;
“The shooter’s video performance was very good. It gave us smooth videos with vibrant and sharp details being recorded. What we’ve found to be a mainstay in Panasonic snappers is the autofocus capabilities during video capture which usually does well in keeping up with moving objects, as well as tracking them.”

Trustedreviews reviews the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7 and writes;
“Overall the LX7 is a consistent little camera that delivers solid performance in pretty much every area. It’s a polished and competent enthusiast compact camera that does more than enough to earn itself a coveted TrustedReviews Recommendation.”

Photographyblog reviews the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7 and writes;
“the LX7 would have been our defacto choice as a pocketable and user-friendly compact for keen photographers that delivers excellent image quality considering the small size of its sensor, but Sony’s offering produces even better images from an even smaller camera, admittedly at an even higher price. Ultimately we prefer the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7′s interface and handling, but clearly give the nod to the RX100′s extensive feature-set and amazing image quality.”

DCresource reviews the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7 and writes;
“Overall, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7 is an excellent premium compact camera. Its fast lens, performance, and manual controls will make enthusiasts drool, while those just starting out can get great results using Panasonic’s Intelligent Auto mode.”

Pocket-lint reviews the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7 and writes;
“Autofocus is impressive and images are extra sharp thanks to the lens, plus there are few other cameras can compete with the f/1.4-2.3 wide aperture setting.”

Panasonic LX7 Photographer’s Compact Camera review by Dale
“Many of the consumer digicams don’t have good AF/AE (auto-focus/auto-exposure) selections, but the LX7 does. Other features such as minimum auto shutter speed and maximum auto ISO are becoming more common now, and are very handy for me, particularly the maximum auto ISO which I keep set at 400.” – By Dale Thorn

Not Bad At All
“I’m going to like this camera for quite a while. It focuses faster, in fact it has a high speed focusing option that speeds things up considerably from its predecessors, it should be left turned on in my opinion.” – By Chuck

Should have been better IMO
“Great resolution for such a small sensor. The noise behavior is good up to about 400iso and manageable if you have to use 800 (better by about a stop, than the LX5 IMO). The speed of operation is great, locking focus quickly and shot to shot times are much better than nearly any other P&S out there.” – By Dwegs

Truely amazing image quality
“The bright, quality leica optics matched with the 10.1 MP sensor produces truely jaw dropping, sharp, and super bright image quality. The light gathering capabiliity of the optics is such that I rarely actually even use the pop up flash, even indoors with room level lighting. The wide angle lens feature is a benefit that surprised me with it’s utility.” – By OutdoorsyKindaGuy

Best hiking/climbing camera ever
“I chose the LX7 primarily because it has a very fast lens. For me that means handheld shots under a thick forest canopy are not blurred because of slow shutter speeds. My previous camera was the DMC-LX5, the predecessor to this model and it was great.” – By Monty VanderBilt

And Lumix said, “Let there be light!”
“Outside at night I got some fabulous shots of lit up houses and door-fronts. The daylight pictures were equally impressive as well. The automatic and creative settings really produce exceptional results.. If you are looking for a great little camera that takes great low light (and bright light pictures as well) this is it. And Lumix said, “Let there be light!”" – By Charles W. Ingram Jr.

first in class
“A pocket camera with 1.4 – 2.3 24 to 90 (35 mm equiv) that shoots RAW under $450. Nothing out there competes with these specs. Image quality is great except in low light. I owned the LX3 – a great camera in its day, but noisy. LX7 is certainly worth the upgrade. The panorama feature is fun and the “iA+” lets you easily adjust brightness, white balance and defocusing.” – By Roger M. Cooke

Good things come in small packages
“The big news, of course, is the f 1.4 lens. It is wonderfully sharp and extra wide (24mm equivalent). This allows for handheld low light photography at lower iso’s. The shots taken with the zoom and extended zoom look quite good, much to my surprise.” – By E. Walters

First thoughts on the LX7
“If fast AF performance is at the top of your list, it does edge out everything else on the market right now. Its ISO performance and JPEG performance can’t match the RX100 but it still takes some pretty nice stills. But it has the best glass on the market right now. It’s a solid choice overall.” – By S. Vogt

PANA keeps improving on the LX3
“I find that I take the vast majority of my photos on the wide end of this lens, but in low light settings, I’ve been forced to if I’m trying to avoid using the flash. With the lens redesign, I’ve got a little more flexibility in my zoom before resorting to higher ISOs.” – By Nathaniel Allen
