|  The Panasonic Lumix LX2 digital compact camera is further distinguished from other cameras by its full manual controllability with a joystick allowing users to easily enjoy creative shooting. The Panasonic DMC LX2 compact camera also boasts Venus Engine III high performance image processing LSI to dramatically reduce the noise that challenged the predecessor, realizing image recording at max. ISO 1600 high sensitivity setting at full resolution.
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX2 is being billed by Panasonic as a successor to the popular DMC-LX1. It has a 16:9 widescreen sensor, 10.2 megapixel sensor, 4x Optical Zoom, and has a wider 2.8 inch LCD screen. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX2 is said to have a lower noise than the LX1 and now features the possibility of pictures taken at up to ISo 3200 as well as an automatic 'intelligent ISO Control' which boosts ISO if motion is detected in the shot. The LUMIX LX series are distinct from other compact cameras in the way they feature extensive manual controls including manual focus and manual exposure which can be smoothly operated with a joystick. This joystick further provides operation shortcuts to the frequently used settings including white balance, ISO, image size, compression format, light metering and AF mode by simply pressing and holding it. It also allows exposure compensation and selection of one out of nine focusing areas. The aspect ratio is easily selectable between 16:9 wide, 3:2 and conventional 4:3 with a switch located on top of the lens barrel to shoot in the framing aspect that best suits the subjects’ composition or image’s purpose of use. In addition, the DMC-LX2 is capable of recording wide 16:9 high definition (1280 x 720) motion image at 15 fps. The other features that elevate the DMC-LX2 is the incorporation of 13 MB of built-in memory while the battery life is extended up to 300 pictures on one charging, not to let you miss those great spur-of-the-moment shots. A print mode has been added to the mode dial so that you can print the images quickly and bundled software allows users to edit and develop RAW files. The unique 16:9 wide CCD and 28mm wide angle LEICA DC lens provide a unique view of the world and which is refined by the Panasonic’s excellent image stabilizing systems of MEGA O.I.S., the high sensitivity recording and the I.I.C.
The LUMIX DMC-LX2 is like no other compact camera, enabling both high-end amateurs and entry-level users to explore the creativeness that surely enhances the joy of shooting
