Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX2 - PC Mag
A review of the lightweight Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX2 10-megapixel digital camera has been posted at PC Magazine. 'The LX2 has a 4X optical zoom, which is just a bit more than the normal 3X optical, and it starts out at a very wide 28mm setting. The actual setting is a range of 6.3 to 25.2mm, which is equivalent to a 35mm lens with a 28mm to 112mm zoom. It has corresponding maximum f-stops of f/2.8 to 4.9. I'd like to see the telephoto end have a larger number, but perhaps the sensor or lens can't handle such a wide aperture at the telephoto en
Even so, the 28mm is a great place to start, whether you're trying to capture a large group shot at a party or you want to send your in-laws shots of the new baby's room without creating panoramas. A 28mm wide angle gives you a bit of distortion at the edges, but I think you'll be able to overlook this considering that you can capture more of a scene. I also appreciate the high ISO, which goes all the way up to 3,200 ISO.'
