This is an great, high quality camera for those who don't want the weight of a digital SLR and enjoy travel photography. It's bigger than some compacts, but will still fit into a jacket pocket. The results are excellent in any conditions. It has an amazing 24mm wide angle lens which is perfect for landscapes and architecture, and if you want to go wider you can buy an add on lens. you can also get a more powerful flash, as the camera has a hot shoe. The only downside is the tele zoom range - it's only 60mm (as a 35mm equivalent) which is OK for portraits but not much else. So if you like travel and people pictures, this is a great (tho' quite expensive) buy. If you like sports / wildlife, other cameras offer more.
I decided to buy this camera, in part advised by a professional photografer friend of mine. I am an amateur photografer, just like any other person who wanted a small enough camera to fit in the rucksack and take on a trip, but it had to have the best picture quality possible. This is the one I was looking for. I've been a Canon fan for years, but that as changed now. Impressive picture quality, shooting speed and strongly built. All I wish this camera had is the optic viewer that comes in the Canon G10. Other than that, perfect.
I chose the Lumix LX3 after the dilemma of LX3 or Canon S90? But I loved it and it turned out to be a good option. My favourite feature is the manual focus-setting, the perfect macro mode, and the large scale of shutter speed and aperture. You can attach the len cap to the camera, so it hangs on it and you can't lose it. Easy and logical menu and modes, using it is fun!
Superb camera both in ease of operation, options and excellent picture quality capable of large enlargements. At my age - 70- I cannot envisage buying another camera - and I've quite a lot over my lifetime.

I bought this camera because I'm going on a mountaineering expedition. This camera is astounding.... The settings are virtually endless and the picture quality is up there with the big cameras. The reason I chose this one is because it's light and compact, ideal if you're going places where you have to carry everything on your back.
