Panasonic LUMIX DMC-LX5 10.1MP 3.8X Optical Zoom Digital Camera White
Key Features
The much maligned joystick on the previous model, the LX3, has gone and is replaced with a jog dial – this has two functions – it can be pressed as well as scrolled, allowing you to quickly change options, for example manual focus or switch between altering the shutter speed and aperture in manual mode.
The controls are easy to use, with a large number of functions and options having a dedicated button, such as Focus, Self timer, ISO, Aspect Ratio etc, although the faint markings on some of the buttons may make it difficult to read the text, unless you memorise them with use. This is made easier thanks to the position of the controls and buttons being well laid out, and being easily controlled with your thumb. The options switches surrounding the lens fall easily to hand when using the camera with two hands.
