## Description

Convenient travel-ready technologies like USB charging and Wi-Fi connectivity to your mobile device make the LUMIX DMC-ZS100K a digital camera that everyone can enjoy.

Review: Compact - ideally a camera that I could carry in my pocket - the LX7 fits comfortably into a larger pocket of a cargo trouser or - I shoot primarily with a DSLR (the Nikon D7100 is my weapon of choice), but for some time now I have felt the need to have a compact camera capable of taking high quality pictures that I can carry conveniently, particularly on my business travels. In my hunt for a compact camera that I could use during my business travels, I had the following criteria: 1. Compact - ideally a camera that I could carry in my pocket - the LX7 fits comfortably into a larger pocket of a cargo trouser or a jacket pocket, but is not compact enough to fit into a formal trouser or even a pair of jeans. The camera is light, and carrying it around in one hand is very convenient. 2. Picture quality - I wanted a camera that is capable of producing good quality, publishable results. When on business travels, I like taking pictures in my free time as I walk around town, and getting pictures that capture the feel of a place without sacrificing quality is an important consideration. The LX7 scores very high in this respect. In good light conditions, at ISO 80, the image quality is really good. 3. Controls - I wanted a camera where I have complete control over the image making process in a way that is as easy as a DSLR. This means the ability to change aperture, ISO, White Balance, Focus Mode etc. easily. The LX7 exceeded my expectations in this regard - the controls to change image parameters are available via buttons (rather than being buried deep inside a menu hierarchy), which makes changing image parameters fairly quick and easy. The one exception to this is that changing the autofocus spot is a little tedious. The other main strengths of the LX7 are: 1. Fast lens - a maximum aperture of 1.4 allows one to use the lower ISO's consistently, which result in higher quality images. 2. Quick focusing (once you select the autofocus spot - although selecting the spot is a little tedious). 3. Changing from autofocus to manual focus is as easy as flicking a switch. 4. Good battery life. 5. Has a level indicator to keep the horizon level - this is a very useful feature for shooting landscapes. I thought that the main drawbacks of the LX7, after using the camera for a few weeks now, are: 1. Changing the autofocus spot is tedious - in situations where one if looking for a quick candid shot, this is a definite drawback. 2. Noise creeps in at higher ISO's, but this is to be expected. 3. No built-in viewfinder - I prefer looking into a viewfinder when composing, and the fact that I have a look at the screen gets in the way. 4. Screen is not bright enough on a bright day - when shooting in bright daylight, it is challenging to compose a picture by looking at the screen. 5. Temperature range - I was in New Hampshire recently (Oct 2015), and in the shade the temperature was probably 2-4C, and after a little bit the camera would not allow me to zoom and autofocus. After sitting in a warm car for a few minutes, the camera came back to life. When I checked the manual, it said the operating temperature range for this camera is 0C - 40C. This means that one cannot rely on this camera in even moderate weather (0C is not that cold, and 40C is hot, but common in the tropics during summer). Overall, I am very pleased with the LX7. It filled a niche that I had, as I left my DSLR behind during business trips, and my iPhone 5 camera was a poor substitute. For someone looking for a compact, high quality camera that they can carry with them most of the time, the LX7 fits the bill really well. I have included a bunch of pictures with this review (all taken with the LX7). Happy shooting!
Review: WOW ....Holy Cow..... - I bought this camera while it was on sale for $299 over the Thanksgiving weekend. I had previously purchased and returned ... an Olympus XZ-1 and I was ridiculed ...and accused of being a photographically ignorant individual because I expected a camera to take relatively good pictures consistently ....while simply relying on the program or "intelligent" program modes. I mostly wanted an upgrade to the Canon IS 700 I bought my wife about 6 years ago and spent a substantial amount of time before settling on the Olympus XZ-1. In my review of that camera, I stated ...that I might have gotten a lemon..... and related the consistent underexposure which was worse with flash ...and related that I ultimately returned the camera when I could not even get consistently good pictures setting a custom mode with exposure compensation of +.7 with flash and two f stops without. I was told ....I should use the histogram ...rather than expecting the camera to get a useful photo in one of the auto modes ...... I was told to use manual mode ....like most "camera knowledgeable" purchasers of the XZ-1 would do .....I was told that the picture on the OLED was not indicative of how the picture would look printed or on screen and therefore I should only shoot in raw mode and edit the results if I expected good pictures ......and the list of "I should" went on and on... I explained that I might wait until the XZ-2 came out and hope the metering issues I experienced were resolved. I finally deleted my review because frankly the comments were becoming rather uncivil. Notwithstanding that I purchased the camera for my "point and shoot expert" wife ...I wanted a camera I could exert more control over in challenging or unique lighting situations .....I stated that I thought a good ...electronic metering digital camera should take consistently good pictures without a histogram and in fact without an OLED screen which is truly for the purpose of composing the picture. My wife took pictures on a trip to Canada with her old Canon and the Oly Xz-1 ....the Canon pictures were ...consistently good ...the XZ-1 results were consistently underexposed. I was waiting ....and watching ever since I returned the XZ-1 ...vacillating between waiting on the XZ-2 ....taking a chance on the $650 Sony RX100 ...with a 28 mm wide angle vs 24mm .....with a lens that starts at f1.8 but ends up at f4.9 ......and without a hot shoe or accessory port ...hence no aux flash or viewfinder if needed .... I was also considering the Panasonic ...but I had never owned one ...(Canons ...all the way from F1 ....A1 ...EOS3 ...to the digital I bought my wife) ....and Panasonic doesn't have a long history of building cameras.... I also considered the new SONY NEX6 ...but to match the compact size of the XZ-1 ...I would need the pancake lens and have to forego the zoom ....or haul two lenses and switch between them. Having used manual and then programmable 35mm film cameras over the years....the most attractive feature of the digital cameras ...is the spontaneity of point and shoot .....which also meant compromised picture quality...I would probably still be shooting primarily 35mm on my EOS3 with my Metz 45-CL4 if you could buy and get the film processed conveniently. But...since I married an Asian lady.....I discovered another side benefit of digital cameras ....you don't have to process and print every single picture .....that is a point that may be lost on most American men that don't have wives of Asian descent. But...I digress.....the point of the review should be the LX7 ...so here it is ... It worked perfectly out of the box ....in both iAuto mode and program mode....the colors were good ....the pictures were not underexposed .....the low light ability of the f1.4 combined with 24mm wide angle are ....amazing ....it took my wife all of about ½ hour to conclude we were keeping this one (barring any electronic or mechanical catastrophe in the next few weeks) And this is just based on her initial "point and shoot" expertise. I have only snapped a few shots using the Aperture mode at f1.4 and was equally amazed ...... To sum up....the camera is great....at $299 ...it was an absolute bargain ...I had paid $270 for the XZ-1 before the price drop and would have been thrilled if it had worked as well in person as it sounded on paper.... If you get the opportunity to buy LX7 at $299 again ...I would not hesitate...especially if you can get it from desertcart and have thirty days to try it or return it....I can pretty much assure you .....you will keep it. By the way ...this has a video mode that actually works ...versus the XZ-1 ..... I probably should have had my wife write the review instead of me....she is much less wordy ...having come to the US from the Philippines....her English is quite good but she is much less verbose than I am. In fact ...I can sum up her review ....in three words ......... "WOW" ....and "Holy Cow" ....that's all she had to say! The only ...less than desirable ....point I will note...is the zoom is slower than on other cameras....but then....some of my other choices would not have even had a zoom to match at the size and pic quality I wanted.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I'l looking at the amazon page for the dmc-lx10k but everyone is commenting on the lx-7. what is the difference between the two?**
A: Huge, actually.  The lx10 has 1" sensor, much larger than the lx7 and much higher resolution, 20 megapixels vs. 10.   In addition, the lx10 has most all of Panasonic's many other innovations that have come to market in other cameras since the lx7, including 4K video, depth from defocus to aid focus speed and accuracy, etc.  The lx10 is thoroughly modern,  while the lx7 reflects a much earlier state of the art, circa 2012.  Honestly it is very irritating that Amazon bundles the reviews for the two models, they should absolutely be reviewed separately.   Hope this helps.

**Q: For video, what is the maximum record time?  Is there an input jack for a separate microphone?**
A: In 4K mode the camera is limited to 15 minute segments. In 4K mode, when 15 min is reached it stops recording, however when it stops you can immediately hit the record button and it starts another 15 minute recording cycle. You can repeat this over and over until the battery goes dead or the memory card fills up. The good news is overheating does not seem to be an issue with this camera. There is no input jack for an external mic...  but the built-in mike does great when recording at ranges closer to the camera. When recording indoors if you go beyond 5 feet or so  you have to be aware of the rooms acoustics.

**Q: Does this camera dmc lx-10k have wifi ?**
A: Yes,  the LX-10k has WiFi and can be controlled with the Panasonic Imaging App.

**Q: Is this camera good for getting sharp clear pictures in dark or limited light areas with lots of movements, like concerts & comicons?**
A: Low light yesDon't know about concert.   Love this camera.  As good as my Nikon 7200 pictures and better in low light
