Great quality images for a point and shoot
1 of 1 found this helpful I love the LX5. It takes great quality photos and is very easy to use. It's a point and shoot, but the photo quality is excellent and the manual setting options are extensive. If you know what you're doing you can take nice nighttime shots. Most of the time the "intelligent auto" setting really is intelligent and takes an excellent photo on the fly without tooling around with manual changes.
A lens cap is an essential add to have with this camera. Without it, the lens will get scratched up pretty quick.
I have had 3 of these cameras. Partially, I can be rough on gear (they have all met sandy and/or watery deaths). And partially I feel like this camera isn't as durable, considering its heft. The lens starts to get stick as it extends/retracts with even the thought of a little dirt or sand breathing its way near the lens. And humid/rainy conditions also quickly fog up the lens.
I also wish it had a panorama setting. It does have panorama assist, but who really wants to try to line up and stitch together fake panoramas?
It's a great camera if you can get it used.
