ISO 400, 800 are acceptable (vs. prior LX5/3). Switch aperture & aspect ratios via on-lense dials.<br />(For me, I awaited replacing my broken Lx3 at a time just as LX100 was being announced, and the lack of great enthusiasm led me to buy a used LX7, and I'm glad I did. I was hoping for not the m4/3 sensor of LX100 but the fine 1" sensor and keeping the amazing 1.4-2.8-ish at 24-90 lens ability. The LX10 however lacks the nice gradual narrowing of aperture in LX3/5/7, and so I've resisted.<br />Oh, and re GX80, I've the GX7 and LOVE its feel in hand; not so, the GX85/80. These, too, can be had on the used market. (I'm still considering the better gripped G85 (no "x"), but ... .)<br />Cheers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3500144491563926221.post-38951547618427120952020-01-10T17:43:54.776+02:002020-01-10T17:43:54.776+02:00Thanks, Markus!

So far I have taken 113,000 photographs with it. I have looked at the second version of the LX100, and it seems to be a competent upgrade. At least for my purposes it should be all right, even though a 4/3 camera could be a choice as well. That said, I have taken quite a few photographs with an iPhone as well, leaving the LX100 at home, but when the temperature drops below 0 ˚C, the iPhone battery runs out after a couple of photographs.Juha Haatajahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00361255734892508254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3500144491563926221.post-22519838611316887612019-01-03T16:55:09.112+02:002019-01-03T16:55:09.112+02:00Hey Juha,
Thank you for your insights. I have been...Hey Juha,<br />Thank you for your insights. I have been using the Panasonics for about 8 years now, GF1, GX1, GX7 and GX85 as well as the LX100. The GF & GX 1's were upgraded relatively quickly as the newer models were a big step up with EVF's built in, but no complaints about the images on any.<br />As a professional who uses Canon 5D's and 7D's I find that Panasonic does not really care about the users and it is almost impossible to contact anyone about service.<br />The GX7 control dial on the top rear (the one which you push in to alternate between exposure compensation and exposure shift)always seemed to be a failure waiting to happen. When it did I found a shop which had parts and could do the repair to help me quite reasonably, but on my GX85 I still do not trust it 100%.<br /><br />On the LX100 I do not have dust problems, but I do have the situation where the lens extends slowly and then does not focus properly, but after powering off and on it is back to normal. As you expressed, it is a favorite camera, and in spite of Panasonic as a miserable company for responding to common issues I continue to use their cameras as the size relative to perhaps a Sony 6300, much smaller lenses with the 4/3 and Canon M series, poorly thought out and functionally inferior to other brands of mirrorless cameras.<br />I think an Olympus may be a good option for the interchangeable lens camera, but nobody has anything like the LX100. Olympus has a desire to service professionals and in the past have been responsive to problems.<br />I just saw on Panasonic's website in the US that they are releasing a full frame mirrorless series and in the info they said:<br /><br />"For the LUMIX G series of Micro Four Thirds Digital Single Lens Mirrorless cameras, Panasonic has started developing a LEICA DG VARIO-SUMMILUX 10-25 mm F1.7 lens that will achieve the world's first*5 zoom with maximum aperture of F1.7 for the entire range. On top of this, the support services for professional photographers, which started in Japan in April last year, will be available in Europe and the United States this year"<br /><br />Support for professional photographers....we'll see!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05578129403070558439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3500144491563926221.post-89072339221571208882018-12-27T18:47:22.021+02:002018-12-27T18:47:22.021+02:00Thanks for commenting.
