About this product
Product Information
The DMC-LX3 puts the joy of creating beautiful, richly expressive images into every photographer's hands. Leading the list of features is a large, developed, ultra-sensitive CCD. And rather than simply maximizing the pixel count as other cameras do, the DMC-LX3 makes generous use of its 10.1 megapixels in this 1/1.63-inch CCD. Each pixel is around 45% larger than those in ordinary 10-megapixel cameras. This boosts both sensitivity and saturation by around 40% each compared to standard models. Its predecessor, the DMC-LX2, also featured a large, 1/1.65-inch CCD, but in comparison, the DMC-LX3 offers around 20% greater sensitivity and around 15% higher saturation performance than even the DMC-LX2 by maximizing the size of the photodiode in each photo cell. These CCD improvements also minimize noise generation in the DMC-LX3, resulting in a 1.5 dB increase in the S/N ratio compared with the DMC-LX2. The DMC-LX3 is equipped with a 24-60mm f/2.0–2.8 Leica DC VArio-Summicron lens. In order to meet stringent Leica performance standards while offering a 24mm ultra-wide-angle setting and a large F2.0 aperture that nearly doubles the brightness of even a "bright" F2.8 lens, the lens system employs 8 lens elements in 6 groups, including 4 aspherical lenses. This provides superb resolution while minimizing distortion and artifacts such as chromatic aberration, ghosting and flaring.Product Identifiers

Panasonic DMC-LX3
Great for low light situations. Compact and easy to handle. Great images, sharp and detailed if used correctly. Love the lens for indoor (Church) photography because of it's low light capabilities. Highly recommend.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Panasonic DCM-LX3
Great little camera. Solid feel, metal body with a retro look. Super performance in macro mode. Very close focus. Only one down side noted. Not real good in low light. But it does have a built in flash and a hot shoe.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Good but past it's time
I like the LX3 much better than the LX5 (though without the extra 90mm zoom vs 60) But as far as performance, color and image quality, the LX3 is better. However, both cameras show their age with the advance of modern sensors. Buy newer Canon Gx series and Sony RX series.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
