Panasonic LUMIX DMC-LX5 Black Digital Camera 10.1MP English 3.8x Optical Zoom Panasonic Lumix LX5 Features The Panasonic Lumix LX5 is perhaps unique, in that the camera and sensor supports multi aspect ratios, and rather than cropping the picture, the sensor shape supports the aspect ratios to enable 10mp images at each size 4:3, 3:2, and 16:9. The camera also offers better low light performance, thanks to the f/2.0 aperture lens and offers 3.8x optical zoom (up from 2.5x on the LX3) - compare that to the more normal f/3.3 or f/3.5 on other cameras and DSLR kit lenses. Here Panasonic explain it: "Conventional cameras generally use almost the entire CCD area when recording an image. The DMC-LX5, however, employs a 1/1.63-inch CCD with a total resolution of 11.3-megapixel. Using only about a 10.1-megapixel area of this large CCD makes it possible to give three aspect ratios – 16:9, 3:2, and 4:3 – the same angle of view with lens settings from 24mm to 90mm" Key Features 10.1-megapixel High-sensitivity CCD (1/1.63-inch) 3.8x wide angle optical zoom lens (f/2.0 - 3.3, 24-90mm in 35mm equiv.) Optical Image Stabilisation POWER O.I.S.

The buttons and dials have a high quality finish, with the buttons having a very pleasing metalic finish to them. The rubber grip on the front of the camera and the textured thumb grip further enhance the impressive build quality. The much maligned joystick on the previous model, the LX3, has gone and is replaced with a jog dial – this has two functions – it can be pressed as well as scrolled, allowing you to quickly change options, for example manual focus or switch between altering the shutter speed and aperture in manual mode. The controls are easy to use, with a large number of functions and options having a dedicated button, such as Focus, Self timer, ISO, Aspect Ratio etc, although the faint markings on some of the buttons may make it difficult to read the text, unless you memorise them with use. This is made easier thanks to the position of the controls and buttons being well laid out, and being easily controlled with your thumb. The options switches surrounding the lens fall easily to hand when using the camera with two hands. Menus - The quick menu button allows quick access to the most common options, and lets you to set the film mode, flash setting, continuous shooting, metering, AF mode, white-balance, image size, video quality, and screen brightness. For more advanced settings you need to access the full menu, which is made up of seven screens of photo options, four screen of video options and seven further screens of setup options. The setup menu allows you to change the text size to Large or Normal, setting this to Large increases the number of screens to scroll through as less options are displayed on each screen. It's a shame there isn't a small option as well, as this would fit more options onto the screen. The large number of options could make the menus quite daunting to some people, but the large number of external controls means entering the menus is quite a rare occurrence.

The camera that I received was just as described! It is practically new (no scratches at all and great quality photos) and came with a charger, sd card, and battery! (Just as it said in the description) it also came with a screen protector. Shipping for me took 10 days which is okay considering the distance and it delivered one day after the estimated time. I asked some questions and the seller answered them all. Overall the experience with this seller was great and I would buy from them again!
The seller quickly contacted me after the purchase to ask if I had any questions, which was very sweet and attentive from their part. The lens arrived sooner than the anticipated delivery date, carefully packaged, with the lens cover included. There is no visible wear and tear, it looks new (well taken care of), even though it is marked as used. So far, it's working great, no issues. Very happy with my purchase.
I’m so happy with my new camera! The seller went above and beyond with communication and was very friendly. My packaged arrived safe and sound and the camera is in perfect condition. The lens was also in perfect shape and everything works smoothly with only signs of gentle use. Highly recommended seller and a great value.
