Panasonic Lumix LX100II review -one of the BEST handling compacts 

Matti, thank you so much for your quick response. I have been following you for about 2-3 months. I love the colors you produce.

Most underrated camera

good to see your review, thanks for posting it. i recently bought this and looking forward to using it more.

I'm with you on this Matti - bring on the 35mm equiv model of the LX100ll! Make it weather-proof and it's perfect for 80% of my photo taking.

Very useful video. Thanks!

Thank you for that. You’ve convinced me. I’m getting one in the Spring before my next trip to cover what my FZ1000 doesn’t: wider aperture and unobtrusive Street photography. Nice work, thank you.

Very good video. Wainting review the video mode.

Excellent! Thank-you!

Today I bought one. Also because of your videos.

What schould I choose between Panasonic lx100 II and canon g5x II ? (tanks for the anser)

I thoroughly enjoy your videos! I watched another one from you today that convinced me to "take the plunge" I truly hope I don't have the dust issue that seemed to be prevalent with the lx100. I don't care about , selfies, weather proof (at least not for this camera) or video. I just want a compact powerhouse with a sensor larger than a 1inch sensor. (nothing wrong with them but not what I want) Thank you for your straight forward honesty!

just got one! and I love it!!!

Hello, Matti. Thank you for this video, I plan to buy this camera Lumix LX100II. May I ask you what do you think about the electronic viewfinder ? I'm used to have an optical viewfinder with my Nikon D610. I'm looking for a compact camera with high image quality but i want to keep my eye on a viewfinder. Cheers.

The iA buton on the LX100II can be adjust to long pressure. it become more dificult to accidently misuse it. Custom setup, Operation, iA Button switch, Press and hold

Dear Matti, I have been following your fantastic tutorials and loving your honest reviews. I love the Panasonic cameras in general, but more so in relation to the Bridge and compact areas. I already own FZ1000 and LX10. I was thinking of upgrading, and I wonder if your practical opinion about the Panasonic Lumix LX100 Mark II. Also, what do you think of the FZ1000 in comparison to the Sony RX10 IV, in relation to quality and versatility? I am more into travel and street photography, and I would like your honest (as usual!) opinions about these, and if there are better alternatives out there which can deliver better quality as well as controls? Of Course, I welcome any of the other viewers' contributions. Thanks

Just wondering since this is the mark ii model, how long is the 4k video recording capacity and does the battery over heat while recording 4k videos? Thanks

You can change the way the iA button works by turning on the "press and hold" option rather than single press. This pretty much eliminates accidental activation. Better to be able to re-assign :-(

wish Panasonic will roll out the prime lens version of lx100mark2

The only thing that kept me from purchasing it was a lack of a tilt screen.

Thanks. Good video. One question. How can you select a focus point and move it around using the bottoms and wheel instead of touching the screen? Thanks

Hi ! Is there a way to fix a good ND filter on LUMIX LX100 Mark II ? Any suggestion ? Do I need an adaptor ? I’m a beginner but I would like to try some long exposure during the day. Thank you !

That snowman looks a bit sad 😂

Nice jump cut!

Hello~~ i have been in research of this compact camera, just wondering in your opinion how does this compare to APS-C camera like X100F?

I notice some flare when shooting toward the sun or reflection. Can this be removed in post?

Thanks. LX100 Mark III? Control and LCD : A tilting LCD + Dual ISO and SS command dial like in the X100V could be interesting?

Thanks. s it weather seal? Can you suggest a low cost camera for fashion photography?

what is the buzzing sound when turned on? is there a setting for it

Do i survive with a 64 gb card if i want to shoot some raw and film in 4K? How big are the files?

some know what is approx the shutter life for this camera acording on Panasonic? i cant find this information, to value the purchase of secondhand...ty

Do have stabilizer in this camera?

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="486">8:06</a> “just make sure your background is not behind your subject” what does that mean? I’m so confused.

can you use a remote switch with this camera

I’m confused. I’m in the market for a new camera, a pocket camera. I’m looking at the new Sony RX 100 Vii and the Canon g5x Mark ii, and here you are telling me the Lumix is great. Who do I believe? How do I make a decision?

Hello Sir... I'm from India and love Streetphotography. Is PANASONIC LUMIX LX100 II still a great budget compact camera in 2022 for streetphotography ?

Hi I really need some help and advice please. I would like to buy a compact camera with a good zoom, good video, picture quality, touch screen if possible, anti shake as I have a small tremor and RA in my hands but I really would like to buy one and finally take nice photos of birds, family so fast moving, and would like to photo water that looks like foggy/steamy if you know what I mean. I am a pensioner (in my 70s so a young pensioner), so cannot afford a lot. I bought an Olympus Pen 10 camera just before the pandemic but then we could not go out. But trying it on birds in the garden and horses in the field where I lived, I realised with these hands not a good idea to have to keep changing lens. Could you please point me in the right direction please. I live in Uk. Many thanks.

I wish I can pull one out from thin air...

Q2 vs D Lux 7

I own the previous version and it's a great camera. It's not meant to be a pro camera, but a pro could easily use it in a jam. For the average person this camera is almost all they need. It would be perfect if only the bokeh was better for portraits.

"Real photographers don't need a mirror?" First time I've watched one of your videos and first thing I'm greeted with is an idiotic slogan that insults the large segment of photographers who use DSLR's. Newsflash: Insulting potential viewers is not a winning strategy. Be and stay positive. Bye.
