No touch or tilt LCD, flash is a separate piece, a bit large for the pocket
No surprise: the Panasonic Lumix LX100 isn't perfect. Nothing is of course, especially not tech products. But it's nonetheless a miracle of technology that allows me to forget the technology and focus on creativity. The direct manual controls, excellent e...

Yes. I would recommend the LX100 to damn-near everyone. The only thing its not great for is telephoto shooting, which requires an interchangeable system or a much larger superzoom. $900 is a tough proposition for many of us, and certainly you dont need...
