Panasonic Lumix LX100 II | First Impressions | Part 1 | 4K 

Quick, easy, perfect in so many aspects, I grabbed the LX100 and carried it with me everyday for street work. Now it's the LX100 II. A tilt screen, more dust protection would have been useful but still this camera is beloved, having supplanted my lovely Leica Q in terms of everyday user friendliness.

To all those video guys out there. This is a old school Leica inspired photographers' camera. Its like trying to ask a Leica M10 why it does not have a flip out screen and a mic input. This is perhaps the best designed and performing compact photographers' camera. Great job Panasonic kept it that way. What we need is an improved sensor, better colours and some features from the GX9.

L Monochrome D pics with this camera are amazing! And the look and feel (heavy-metal) of tthis camera is amazing too!

You can tell Panasonic didn't put much effort in this one. They took the mark I, swapped the sensor and added touch. The rest is existing software.Flip up/out screen, better dust resistance, better EVF, mic jack, fast zoom mechanism would've made this a worthwhile upgrade to the original LX100, but not this!

What a great fresh report thank you

I really dig my Leica D-LUX (type) 109. I hope they update that camera as well.

I was hoping for a built in ND filter, dust proof case since many had issues with dust in the sensor, and a built in flash. The additional resolution is a good thing, 17 MP, but since the lens is identical, I'm hoping the updated processor will improve the image quality.

Thanks. #LX100III ? I guess a tilting screen and a dual command dial for ISO + SS like the X100V could be interesting for a probable mark 3 of the LX100?

Meanwhile, you can get GX85 for half the price, with tilt screen, IBIS, can interchange lens and with almost same dimension as lx100 ii.

most important question. Does it have clean HDMI? I got the LX100 and it doesn't have HDMI out when in live view.

hi. thank you for your wonderful review. I just want to ask you, is it possible to mute audio when recording video? or turn recording volume down close to zero?

The aperture ring, although functions with “click stops”, is in reality electronically controlled. The “clicks” actually function as switches, not physical set stops.

An wating this adetion but am dispointment without tilted screen and need larg sensor

Is it NTSC/PAL switchable?

Firstly, I use my Panasonic LX100 for hiking, therefore, image quality through Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) and reasonable zoom range with exceptional lens are my prime requirements. I was looking forward to ‘upgrade’ my LX100 to the much hyped LX100 II (or LX200) ..... however, Panasonic has just ‘dropped the ball’ and missed a perfect opportunity to steal the march from the likes of Sony, Canon et al. So, having looked at majority of the release reviews ..... I shall pass and may be look forward to LX100 III in 4 years time! Indeed, the design team will have time to think - ‘What went wrong?’. When Panasonic eventually decide to add in the next version the following: 3-Axis IBIS, 2-Axis Lens OIS, Swivel Touch Screen, weather sealing and Leica lens 24-105mm f2.8 (or f2.0) (35mm equiv.) .... then I shall upgrade. I don’t mind paying a ‘premium’ price for a Premium Pro Compact Camera ..... as long as it will delivery exceptional image quality, with all the functionality I would like to use handheld on hikes. I do wonder how much influence has Leica (D-Lux Type 109) had on Panasonic for this commercial disaster with ‘minor’ update to a much respected LX100?

hi sir.. do you prefer lx100 ii OR gx9 for all about emages quality?

What kind of lens cap is that that opens automatically when you turn the camera on ?

What Is Dead May Never Die

can you still put in a filter with the pop out lens cap?

No major changes from the previous model. skipping this one. Next

There’s one video say the EVF is no improvement and same as the old one, please confirm this, is it old or new?

many americans use metric these days and its taking over slowly so no need to even bother with inches

Will it get dust in sensor like old model?

why why why no tilting screen 😑😑😑😑

I thought the video frame rates are switchable as a “true world cam” like its predecessor?

1:37 "It has no Low Pass Filter now" ...... I don't think my Mark 1 version ever had a Low Pass Filter !!!

i like Panasonic but seem like Panansonic just wishes to continue LX100 magic but making a mkii instead of really upgrade it to something like LX200 for this one.

Lx100 ii or the x100f?

Did I just here F0.7? Wtf... that’s insane

This or sony rx100 v?

4:47 it has power iOS? it's an iphone, or a cisco switch built in? just kidding, i know that "OIS" was meant :) thanks for the review!

what Country of America you refer cause we have 35 countries in America

Disappointed was expecting lots more just a minor revamp stick with my lx100 second cam with my g9

Ok

nice camera nice review but takai desu yo

When u think about it, this lens is wayyyyy better when compared to omd em5ii with pro 12-40 lens of f2.8 😂

Panasonic taking a page from Canon. Huge disappointment

You talk so fast

Video "freaks" please look elsewhere. The LX100 II is for entusiast photographers only. 'Nough said.

like for this video dislike for this camera lx100 mark 1.1

Man you are way to old to wear a baseball hat back to front.

HUGE disappointment from Panasonic :+(
