Smaller could be better. That could very well summarize what the people of Panasonic must be marketing with in regard to their latest in the Lumix line. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX2 still maintains the stability that has long been associated with the Lumix brand but now comes in a smaller and definitely more compact body. Yes, it has done away with the long zoom. Thus, the camera has a total depth of 1.75 inches.

The LX2 is unique in some ways. It has a 4224 x 2376 pixels stills with a wide-screen (16:9) aspect ratio. It also has an HD format, 2.8-inch wide-screen LCD, and 2 buttons that control the flash. Among others, it has aperture-priority, shutter-priority, full-manual shooting modes and 18 additional shooting modes.

The picture quality is still sharp, testament to its long-standing name. The exposures are also highly accurate. However, it comes at quite a hefty price which betrays it.
