This is by far the best review of any compact camera I have seen on RU-vid. The reason: your explanations are clear, concise, terse and intelligent. This is an object lesson to most other reviewers who let themselves get in the way of the review, or who do not properly demonstrate what they are talking about. Congratulations - and by the way, it's a great little camera!

@@MaartenHeilbron Hi. ive noticed in vlogging, even when the camera is set to face detection it does sometimes have trouble locking on and instead focuses on the background behind me. Can you please tell me what settings are best please? For example is face detect better paired with afs, aff, or afc? Thanks in advance.

@MaartenHeilbron 4 года назад

@@TheyCallMeJesse I would suggest manual for blogging, as the distance from camera to you is fairly constant. If you need auto focus use continuous, with a single spot placed on your face. That way when the face detect fails, it defaults to the spot and not the background.

@@MaartenHeilbron I agree with C. Johnson, I have come back and visited this video a few times in the last 6 months. I purchased this last September and I absolutely love this camera. My other cameras are canon, but when I went looking for a good inexpensive pocket camera I found this "Like New" on a used camera site. It has replaced all my other cameras and I find that I may become a Lumix user.. Thank you for the very clear, concise and easy to understand review and overview.

@NicholasMonks 6 лет назад

What a fantastic review. Love that you START by diving right into what it looks and sounds like rather than spending a lot of time baiting us for the rest of the video or diving right into the technical. At the end of the day, the first thing I want to know is a) does it look good and b) does it sound good. AFTER that, if I'm still interested, I'll want the tech specs, menu dives, etc... which is exactly what you did. If this camera were just a little less expensive, I'd jump on it as a replacement for my amazing Canon S120, but given the quality and features, I suspect it will stay up in that range.

There are many cameras with a physical manual/auto switch - but they must feel that the target market for this camera doesn't want that. Not sure why there are two focus control points though ...

What a fantastic review of all the features that can help decide whether or not to consider a camera. Awesome! Like many before me have said - clear, concise, focussed, and in a soothing, reassuring voice. This sets the benchmark for product reviews. One query: The FZ300 has in its flash menu the ability to wirelessly control an off camera flash. Does this have it to? I'm not expecting it in this camera segment, but would be great to have considering there is no hotshoe.

@MaartenHeilbron Год назад

I'm sorry, that is not something I tried. Maybe download the manual from Panasonic's web site to check.

@@MaartenHeilbron You sold me, ripped up my shortlist and ordered an LX15 yesterday. I intend to sort the awful sound with one of those proprietary stick on muffs, and the slippery surface with a nice expensive leather case rather than stick on grip sheets. This week I sold my Canon 200d, nifty 50,24mm pancake 75-300 zoom 80-200mm zoom, 34-76mm old zoom and have various other bits to selloff and fund one packet camera! The upcoming freedom will be great. I did the same with the TV, sold off the onkyo box and 7 speakers for a single quality soundbar.

1 year update. Leared a new word from you Cluegy! Got a PU leather case for £11 instead of Panasonic £80 (crazy). lasting just fine. Got Magfilter to take the only remaining kit item a polariser which doubles for me as HD. could use for extra filters, but of course built in effects suit.Lack of sound socket. I am buying a Zoom HN and intend fitting as per another guys youtube with bracket for my music play recording. Missed the viewfinder but got used to this brave new iphone type world. Wifi downloading pics v useful on holiday, to iPad for review. This app is temperamental and works when it suit it. Added a gorilla mini tripod/grip and my former big bag of canon stuff is a distant memory. Freedom! Singing onto C modes lately. Many review moan about auto focus, but heck i am happy. Overall lots of bang for the buck. Watched lots and lots of reviews and tips here and Maarten Hellbron is the best.

@joserobertocastellon 7 лет назад

Excellent review! Thank you for all the detail! I keep struggling trying to decide between this and the Sony RX100 MV. I saw another review where the camera seems to struggle with the AF, even though it was set on a fixed tripod and the subject wasn't moving around. The image blurs often and it's distracting... I'm wondering if there's any manual setting that will compensate that.

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

I appreciate the kind words. AF continuous, in some situations will continue to search for focus. Well, that setting would be manual focus.

@darioprime 7 лет назад

A very nicely in depth look. I wonder when manufacturers will start to add mic ports or usb to mic adapters? Especially given how much longer models with that feature can command full price and how much longer they hold their initial value on the resale market, which might sway some buyers as much as the port itself?

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

I appreciate the kind words, thanks! I fully agree, if the manufacturer wants to be serious about video add a mic and a headphone port.

Maarten. Thank you for this review. May I add a perhaps enhanced comment. I was seriously looking at the Ricoh GRIII and have done much research before it has even been released. Let me compare and I will let your followers decide. LX15: 24 - 72 zoom lens, check. 1.4 aperture, check. In built flash, check. Touch screen, check. No heating up of the touch screen, check. Tilting, although not fully articulated screen, check. Longer battery life, check. In camera RAW processing, check. 4K video, check,. Half the price of the GRIII, check. 20MP, who needs 24MP for social? Check. The LX15 is even smaller than the GR III but the GR is slightly slimmer. In body stabilisation, check. I have done pixel peeking with the LX15 as I have it and there is some noise at higher ISO`s. The real test will be image quality but I find it hard to spend £800 when it appears that the LX15 is far superior in many ways. Time will tell. And I look forward to your review of the Ricoh GRIII.

@MaartenHeilbron 5 лет назад

Thanks for your note and the detail ... it's not on the to-do list as my relationship with Ricoh isn't very good, but may be improving. Not sure why you feel these two warrant a side-by-side feature comparison.

Love your video and explanation, wish I saw more photography shots at the F 2.8. I bought this camera last night and did not check if taking waterfalls will be a problem. Do you know if I could attach a Gradient ND filter to it? I was a bit worried because of the amount of light coming into the camera. Any recommendations you can offer?

@MaartenHeilbron 2 года назад

I have no personal experience to offer, but there are filter adapter kits available to add ND to this camera.

Hello Sir...i really love your detailed review on these cameras... Initially i was thinking about the RX100 V but after watching your comprehensive reviews on LX10...i think i would go for this instead... However, may i ask, how long the timelapse can last on 1 single charge of battery since the camera can't be charge while doing Timelapse... Hope to hear from you soon sir... Thank you and Have a nice day...

@MaartenHeilbron 6 лет назад

Thanks for the kind words. I'm sorry, that's not a parameter I tested. In any event, this will vary over the life of the battery - so any test would provide only a guideline. If you need a long timeline for time-lapse, choose a camera that can be externally powered.

Hello. Thanks for the review. I am deciding between this and the G7x II. I read that the G7x has quality issues but it has a 4x zoom. I was wondering if the 3x zoom is good enough for portraits? I just want to take ordinary portraits, nothing fancy or professional.

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

Thanks for the kind words. Either is fine for portraits. With 3x you may need to be a little closer.

@deborahdouglass4736 5 лет назад

Hi Maarten! Thank you so much for producing this great, informative and instructional video. I just bought the LX10 in 2019 for a dive trip. This little camera gets amazing reviews by the dive community. But they are not good about sharing their knowledge for settings or camera features and how to use them inside an underwater enclosure. So, I am reaching out to you hoping you can help me with a couple of questions. 1) Long around 7:51 minutes into your video, you are talking about the great focus features of this camera. Being able to move the focus area around on the screen is of particular interest to me. But I cannot find how to do that without using the touch screen. Obviously the touch screen will not be available to me underwater. Can you advise me on how to do this with buttons, the menu, or the controller? 2) I would like to figure how to set the camera up with back button focusing like is on my Canon 5D M3. Is this possible? It would be fantastic to be able to move the focus area to exactly where I want it, and then to be able to have the camera focus before pushing the shutter. The small creatures, and fish obviously move around a lot! Basically, I would like the ability to focus, recompose and shoot. But I can't figure how to manage it on this little camera. Again, can you advise me? Thank you so much in advance. Yours have been hands down the best video instruction I've found.

@Stone1108 3 года назад

I believe that you set the benchmarks for tech reviews, humour and a touch of satire as a bonus! Thanks Maarten, in your view is this camera too complex for street photography? The video / blogging seems pretty nifty barring a few foibles, can't have it all at this price but this Panasonic seem to have come close! I guess the custom setting capability of this camera will simplify and speed up use in the feild or street..

@MaartenHeilbron 3 года назад

Thanks for your very kind words, they are greatly appreciated. Like most contemporary cameras, it has enough auto settings (for exposure, focus, white balance, etc.) to make photography fairly simple. For street though, the Fujifilm X-E3 is the one to beat ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cv0JUtt6g5E.html

@hawthornstorm8041 2 года назад

hi can you please help me decide between canon g7x mark ii and lumix lx10? i like that g7x ii has longer zoom, but the lx10 has 4k. well mostly i’d just take still images/photos, but sometimes i’d like to shoot a really short video to capture the audio also instead of just the still images. the g7x ii has better stabilization, and we know that the 4k in lx10 doesn’t support any stabilization. that said, should i choose stabilization over the option to shoot 4k (and crop it to get an extra zoom but still in 1080p)? also this is my very first camera. although i know a thing or two, i’ve never really shoot in manual with a camera before. so preferably a beginner-friendly user interface. thank you!

@MaartenHeilbron 6 лет назад

I appreciate your kind words. Up to 30 images can recorded, but they are 2MP and 16x9.

@Wouter6431 7 лет назад

Hi Maarten! Thanks a lot for the video, learned a lot. So the last week I have been trying to figure out what camera to get and the competition is between the LX10 and the G7X mark II. Important, I don't care for video features, only stills. The reason I would prefer the G7X is the nicer grip in the front and possibly better interface (I see myself as a beginner). The reasons I would go with the LX10, are some things I've read but are difficult for me to confirm, so hopefully you're view can clear this out for me. Some say the LX10 delivers sharper images, also has better and faster AF and is way better in for macro photos. I will mostly shoot outside during hikes, all the advice is welcome, thanks a lot! :) Also, can I shoot in RAW when in Auto mode with both of these camera's?

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

Thanks for your kind words, they're always appreciated. They are both good choices, and you're stated good reasons for preferring each. I'm surprised to hear that some think the LX10 is better for macro - although it doesn't have a "macro" mode, the G7X-2 has a much closer (5cm) focus distance, which I think gives it the advantage. (I return cameras after the review, so I can't take them out to compare.)

@Wouter6431 7 лет назад

Thank you for the quick response Maarten, and yes credit where credit is due, your review is the most detailed on RU-vid. And well the LX10 would, if I'm right have a focus distance of 3 cm. But apart from macro, you also feel that the images of the Panasonic are sharper than? If that is the case, I will sacrifice the better grip and DIY something for it :)

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

always my pleasure. Someone more discerning than me might perceive some difference, or maybe it can be measured with a studio chart - but I just reviewed my images from both and find them equally sharp and detailed.

@young_Kev 3 года назад

I'm trying to use my Lumix DMC-LX10 as a webcam but it isn't picking up the live video after connecting via mini HDMI -> HDMI -> Elegato Capture Card -> USB. All drivers up to date and tested on both Catalina OS and Windows 10. I tested all parts and everything is working when I plug in my nintendo switch/ps4 so the cables and capture card are working. When I click playback to view the pictures, the images will display on the screen on both OBS and Zoom when I select 'USB Camera'. It switches to a black screen when I change it back to the live Camera Mode. I also made sure it is in USB Mode for PC and still nothing. I find it odd that it will display the images and videos on playback, but I can't figure out how to get the Live Streaming Feed to display. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

@MaartenHeilbron 3 года назад

I don't have enough experience with the capture card or OBS to assist with this. However, I have experienced similar issues with other cameras and other video streaming software. There are no easy solutions to these kinds of problems.

I want to upgrade from iPhone to learn about photography to shoot manual, I like the aperture ring on this camera but not sure if this is a great camera for that purpose, was plan to get XE3 with 16-55mm F2.8 but the best camera is the one with you, so I guess this is a great camera for that purpose too since its small, has aperture ring and should be great quality and has zoom lens, right? How about the 24mm wide in FF term, is it really as wide as 24mm on FF? Shoot indoor tight space, architecture and landscape is no problem?

@MaartenHeilbron 6 лет назад

Nearly all cameras are great for the purpose if you've been shooting with an iPhone (not that there's anything wrong with that). It's not usually a problem - but do consider the 16mm if you're worried.

Both are fine. There's a wider selection of micro four thirds mount lenses, but I feel that for the most part, Fuji lenses are of higher quality.
