Product Rating: 4.85 star(s) Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX1S

Comments:
Digital camera 'Small and powerful' is no contradiction in terms with the latest point-and-shoot digital cameras. But Panasonic's $999 Lumix DMC-LX1S is even better equipped than most, starting with its amazing 8.4 megapixel CCD and wealth of advanced exp

Review Verdict: The camera's most intriguing feature, though, is its array of three image aspect ratios: 4:3, the typical digital camera ratio; 3:2, a match for 35mm film and perfect for 4 x 6-inch prints; and 16:9, the standard for widescreen displays

Comments:

Review Verdict: A versatile camera for those who want something smaller than a D-SLR, with lots of pro features and controls, but the images are noisy and you'll find the shutter lag irritating.

Review Verdict: The DMC-LX1 provides lots of advanced features, along with plenty of point-and-shoot capabilities. The aspect-mode options will also appeal to photographers who want to escape the ordinary, but the noise at higher ISO settings makes the camera unsuitable

Review Verdict: The Lumix DMC-LX1 is an interesting camera, with several nice features and the ability to take a decent picture, but its image quality isn't really high enough to compete in the kind of market that its price would suggest. For -100 less it would be a barg
