I have the Panasonic 15mm 1.7 and previously had the Olympus 17mm 1.8. The 15mm was a noticeable step up in image quality over the 17mm. The 17 isn’t bad, but the 15 is just a noticeable notch ...

They were referring to the G1X III’s slow lens (in terms of aperture), not the LX100 with their comments.

I think you should also look at the G1X mark III and G5X mark II. While I didn’t have any dust issues with my LX100, and haven’t had any with my II, if that’s something you’re concerned about, the ...

Yep, you can set the camera to remember the last zoom and focus setting at power down. The feature is called “Lens Position Resume” in the menu. So, for example, if you have it set to 35mm and ...

Yep; I agree. This camera doesn’t suffer much from softness from light just out of frame, but it does get some ugly purple and green blobs and flares, and backlighting makes things pretty soft. ...

A hood could help with some of the washing out for sure, but it won’t do much for the worst of the flare, which is from strong in-frame light sources.

Thanks!

I’ve had the LX100 II since it was released in October. Hopefully those considering the camera will find my 9 month impressions useful. I’ve taken a couple thousand frames, and have made large ...

I had the original and now have the II, and I’m really happy with the new one. The II has a couple major advantages over the I for me: (1) Better sensor. While the original’s sensor was fine for it’s ...

You”ll want to keep the shutter locked on mechanical shutter, not electronic. The electronic shutter can only sync at like 1/100th or 1/60th, I believe. The mechanical can do up to 1/2000th wide ...

I did a lot of portraits with the LX100. While the focal range may not be ideal for head shots, it proved great for portraiture. One thing you’ll be able to do that others won’t is take flash ...

I just bought a black Megagear neoprene case for my LX100 II from Amazon (it’s available in a bunch of colors). It’s a little overpriced at $19.99 for what it is - just some neoprene sewn into the ...

So ... the Canon G1X III? i considered that one too, especially since the three cameras are in a $200 price spread now. Image quality seems comparable to/not any better than the LX100 II and RX100 ...

If your retailer has a good return policy, test out the LX100 II and see if you’re happy with it. If you are, enjoy, if not, return and get the VA. If it doesn’t, well, I wouldn’t preorder a camera ...

Are you sure the RX100 VA doesn’t have image stabilization? Everything I’ve seen about it says it has optical stabilization, like the LX100 I and II do.

Same problem here. Both cameras are really good, and neither is clearly better than the other - there doesn’t seem to be much difference in terms of image quality beyond personal preference in ...

The reasons to get the 45mm are to get a more classic portrait focal length with a shallower depth of field in a tiny body. The two lenses are close, but provide a different enough perspective to ...

Neat, good to know. Will definitely add Curaçao to the ‘need to visit list’ :-)

Thanks for sharing; I really liked the LX100 as a travel/everydaycamera when I had it. You have some gems in there (the turtle close up is a standout to me). It’s always fun and worthwhile to look ...

Thanks! By the way - I have this printed at 16x20 on my wall, and it looks great that size.
