Panasonic’s Lumix range of digital cameras have built an enviable reputation amongst amateur snappers and pros alike and Panasonic’s new Lumix DMC-LX3 pairs the quality that goes hand in hand with the Lumix range with a cool, retro themed appeal that gives the DMC-LX3 a decidedly appealing edge in terms of style.
Featuring a F2.0 24mm Leica DC Vario-Summicron lens and a resolution of 10 megapixels courtesy of a 1/1.63-inch CCD (which is capable of reproducing images in three aspect ratios 4:3, 3:2 or 16:9), the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 boasts high ISOs up to 3200 as well as a plethora of automatic and manual settings that should keep photographers of all abilities more than happy and, when you factor in that the Lumix DMC-LX3 can also capture HD video at 1280 x 720p resolution at a fluid 24fps there’s no doubt that its capabilities are more than a match for its deliciously retro styling.
Due to begin shipping in late August, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 is presently available for pre-order for just shy of $500.
