Everything Specs
Panasonic is a very popular manufacturer when it comes to various tech stuff. This company, however, isn’t the most popular when it comes to digital video cameras; but is their Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX100 worth its money? Well… yes and no. Offering a 12.8 Megapixels sensor, Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX100 isn’t exactly the best digital camera you can find for the price, as it’s a little overpriced compared to the other digital cameras in this price range. At least, we got a nice 4K video recording features and bunch of other options for you to choose.
Design-wise, Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX100 doesn’t shine either, with its compact yet uninspired and bland look, but that isn’t important if the performance is stellar, right? In this case, Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX100 is close to delivering good performance for the price but falls short of some great features present in the other cameras in this price range.

Don't expect some crazy performance here, as Lumix DMX-LX100 isn't a high-end camera and doesn't cost very much. It's a nice and small camera that can fit in your pocket easily and i gladly carry it with me everywhere. I'm glad that there is 4K video recording available which is use very often.
