Great little camera
1 of 1 found this helpful Am moving from a heavy Canon 40D to lighter weight equipment. Am doing an advanced compact and superzoom bridge.
This little LX5 is a dream to use, and carry around. More than enough buttons and dials to keep me happy and picture quality is very impressive.
Because of the size I'm skipping it in my jacket pocket and taking it almost everywhere I go.
Now just have to hope the superzoom bridge will fill the telephoto needs as well. Waiting for it to arrive.
So impressed with Panasonic the the bridge superzoom ordered is also Panasonic FZ1000.

Little Camera, Big eye
3 of 3 found this helpful Got the FZ200 to replace my heavy, and cumbersome Canon 30D and 70-300 zoom lens combo. Must admit, I had some concerns, but they have quickly been put to rest.
Reviews seemed to claim this camera ONLY had a 600mm zoom. I don't know how a person could hand hold any more.
Main uses are Sport, and Wildlife photography and I can't imagine a better tool for those jobs. (at least not for under $300.00)
More adjustments, modes and dials than I'll probably ever learn to use, so it"s a good thing Auto, and Sport mode do great jobs all by themselves.
Have really become a fan of the articulated LCD. At first I did not think I would use it much, but that has all changed.
IS and F2.8 work great together.
I'm not a "pro". Just an amateur who likes the ability to get good shots in different conditions, and this little gem allows me to do just that.
Very satisfied, and highly recommend this camera if good, low light action photos are your goal.
