p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Panasonic LX100 / Leica DLUX109 or Panasonic GX7 with 12-35 lens


I have a dilemma.

I am travelling abroad in January and wish to take a camera.

I have narrowed down my choice ( LX100 or GX7 with 12-35 lumix lens )

Both appeal however will the GX7 with 12-35 lumix lens deliver sharper across the frame results or will they be very similar.

Be interested to hear from users of these cameras.

Any observations, points of view, recommendations etc will be gratefully received.

Thanks.

Adam.

From the reviews I have read, I really like the LX100 as a point and shoot and it may be my replacement of my LX7. I have and like the GX7. If video is important, get the LX100. In the future the GX7 will be more flexible as it accepts interchangeable lenses vs the fixed zoom lens on the LX100. In either case, you have a choice of two good cameras.

Good luck in your decision.

When the LX100 is in the bag, off, it will be 1/3 the size of the GX7 with the 12-35, with an almost commensurate savings in weight.

I really liked the LX100 when I reviewed it. If I could swing adding it to my kit, which at this point would be very impractical, I'd do it.

Impractical or otherwise, the lx100 still occupies a niche no other camera can fill, so I know how you feel.

Recently, I fell back in love with the lx100, after shelving it for months. The OOC jpg's, the ability to switch formats via a mechanical switch, the dedicated dials. OMG, this camera had everything my D2x with 17-55 had, and it focuses much better. I paid $6200 for the D2x and 17-55 combo in 2005... it was 10X the size and weight, lol.

GX7 (if US/Canada model) has unlimited video recording; for some unfathomable reason, the LX100 is limited to 29'59". I sold mine recently for this reason. If this is not a problem, LX100 is a great, very portable camera. IQ? no difference in my experience.
