The Lumix LX100 is valuable addition to the growing ranks of compacts aimed at enthusiasts, and importantly it offers something different from its rivals. At its core, the LX100 may be a compact with a big sensor and bright lens, but rather than adopting the 1in sensor deployed by Sony on its RX100...

Great quality from (mildly-cropped) Four Thirds sensor; Maintains diagonal field of view with 4:3; 3:2 and 16:9; Useful lens range with bright aperture; Decent-sized electronic viewfinder; 4k video with in-camera photo grabbing; Fast continuous shooting up to 11fps at full resolution; Comfortable...

Screen isn't touch-sensitive and doesn't tilt; Corner softness at 50-75mm unless stopped-down to f8; Below average stabilisation for stills and video; EVF sometimes suffers from rainbow artefacts for me; No built-in flash; No microphone input; No built-in ND filter; No exposure control via Wifi app,...

The LX100 puts the large Four Thirds (that's 4/3″ or 1.33″) sensor inside of a compact camera body that's on roughly par with the Canon G16 line of cameras in terms of overall size.

At the Lumix DMC-LX100's core is a 16.84-million-pixel four thirds type sensor. This is larger than that used by almost any other camera with a built-in zoom lens, and should therefore offer better image quality, especially at high ISOs.

Excellent image quality from Four Thirds sensor; Intuitive dial-based controls; Fast lens is useful for low light shooting; Built-in electronic viewfinder

Fixed LCD screen that isn't touch-sensitive; EVF color rendition can be misleading; Limited telephoto range

High-end compact cameras are very tempting if you want the power and control of a digital SLR but you also want a camera you can put in your pocket. But there's a price to be paid. A small camera usually means a small sensor, so the image quality tends to suffer.

Large sensor in a compact body; Small high-quality lens; Traditional controls; Electronic viewfinder

Screen not touch-sensitive; 16Mp sensor produces 12Mp images; Lens quite prone to flare

There's no doubting the LX100 is great, but is it the best compact camera ever

The Panasonic Lumix LX100 is a new large sensor (Micro Four Thirds) compact camera, with a bright f/1.7 - 2.8 Leica lens equivalent to 24-75mm in 35mm terms, built in Wi-Fi, an electronic viewfinder, and 4K video recording.
