Great Camera at a Great Price. Leica Quality Without the Leica Cost
Excellent camera that sits one position down from the much more expensive (but also very great) LX-100. Nice and super-fast (f1.4) Leica lens, great build quality, easy to use in auto mode but also fully capable of manual settings. Shoots in JPEG or RAW or JPEG+RAW
I added a Lumix electronic viewfinder, which makes the camera much easier to use in bright outdoor settings--and more like a traditional viewfinder camera.
Some will find fault with the fact that it shoots only 1080P HD video (and the best quality comes in AVHCD, not MP4, which requires a little more work to get videos ready for editing or sharing), but that's not a big deal for me. The sensor is also significantly smaller than the one on the LX-100, but the average viewer won't be able to tell.
I carry this camera with me on my bike and in other situations where I don't want to risk dropping my more expensive cameras.
Samples of photos taken with my LX-7 are shown below.Read full review

Compact camera with lots of features for the advanced amateur photographer
A good compact camera with lots of features for the advanced user. But the picture quality never will rival a DSLR. This is a camera for the advanced amateur who needs to travel light and doesn't mind photos that aren't up to the standard of their digital SLR camera.Read full review

Light, fast and sharp camera, excellent for traveling.
Good for traveling, this camera is light, fast, and sharp. The unique feature about it is its f/1.4 Leica lens, the images taken by which are bright and sharp. And if you know how to use it in manual mode, you can create professional photos with creamy bokeh. When you see one under $170, don't let it slip away. Total weight of the beauty is less than 1 lb; which can easily fit in your pocket.Read full review

Just what I needed
I have a Canon SX60 bridge camera & Pentax K-3 with multiple lenses.
The Lumix gives me a quality pocket camera with some of the advanced settings of a dslr. I really like the panoramic feature, works great. There's other options that I look forward to experimenting with.
First photo is a 200 foot water tower near my place & the second is with the optical zoom.
The third pic is from Shelving Rock Mt on Lake George, NY & the last is the panoramic view. Read full review

The camera is a joy to use, light weight and takes good pictures. Extra battery are cheap.

Great photos
Perfect for my business, right lens type - slight wide angle, good in low light, the previous LX7 lasted about 5 years taking 50 to 150 photos per day, best compact camera I've owned over the past 30 years. Thinking about buying another for a backup.Read full review

Great pocket camera
Image quality is great, lens is great. I bought this to replace my Lumix GF1. The GF1 still takes better photos most of the time, I think due to the LX7's smaller sensor and overall consumer-grade build. But image quality is still very good and all of the extra conveniences make the trade-off worth it.
It's smaller than the GF1, and much easier to tote around. It hangs easily from a wrist-strap, the GF1 (and other larger cameras) end up always being around your neck.
The optional after-market automatic lenscap is brilliant and you would not believe how convenient it is. Truly solved an annoyance. Why pocket your lenscap or have it dangling and getting caught on stuff? If you buy this camera, get the aftermarket lenscap. Trust me on this one.
The optional Electronic Viewfinder is easily twice as good as the one on my GF1. The exposure preview is incredibly useful (my GF1 doesn't have that).
Build quality is pretty good - not as top-quality as the GF1 but still plenty solid enough.Read full review
LX7 is a classic
Steller small panasonic camera. It's 23-90mm lens gives awesome performance in a little package. The small mirrorless camera even though just 10 megapixels is still good for recording quality images or video.Read full review

Best camera I have owned to date.
Leaving the specifics to more qualified online reviews, here are some features that I found suitable to my needs:
- Fast lens, so I seldom need the flash indoors.
- Hand held night shots, very easy and nicely optimized.
- Instant shutter response captures facial expressions in family shots that I would have otherwise missed.
- Great for video's.
- At first I thought I would have preferred an automatic lens cap, but now I feel the manual cap protects the camera better, and is not as subject to damage.
- The optional electronic viewfinder makes this little beauty feel like a full featured DSLR, but without the bulk and weight.
- Automatic point and shoot settings and modes work well, but enough manual control to satisfy a professional.
- Recommend the book, "Photographer's Guide to the Panasonic Lumix LX7", available on Amazon. As I went through this book I uncovered and appreciated the features of this camera even more.
- A little heavier than I expected, but not that heavy.
- The engineering of this camera seemed to concentrate on photography, rather than knick knacks like wifi, GPS and social media sharing. I much prefer that for my engineering dollar.Read full review

Great camera
A great point and shoot. Works better in manual. Optical zoom is not great. Image stabilizer works great.
Great value point and shoot
I love the macro auto focus on this camera. The Leica lens really makes a difference too!
