Panasonic LX100 II Review - One of a Kind 

*Panasonic GX9* Review - bit.ly/PanasonicGX9review *Luminar 3 with Libraries* Review - bit.ly/Luminar3 *Panasonic G9* Long Term Review - bit.ly/G9LongTerm

Bought this one to make time-lapses since the focal range is ideal, the camera includes a brilliant interval timer and the aperture ring enables adjusting aperture without interrupting the time-lapse capture.

Very nice review of a remarkable and unique camera. I have had the original LX100 for a few years and use it exclusively. I no longer even have a DSLR as a result. I've been contemplating purchasing the LXii and your review will help me to decide.

Excellent cameras, I shoot more casual / family videos with the Lx100 than the Gx85, its more pocketable with its brighter zoom lens and the lates really helps to frame closer or wider quickly without swapping lenses. The lens flare actually gives a nice retro touch to family videos too

Excellent review and demonstration of the features. Very high quality results.

Very nice Reviiew - perfect Job. Absolutely clear and focused. Thanks for your work.

Thank you for an unbiased review - This has been the best review on the Panasonic LX100 II - Awesome! A great little camera all round - I've done some amazing Professional stills work on the go with such a small form factor ideal travel companion!

All good points. It's an interesting little camera.

Excellent video and review as always. For street and travel, could be awesome camera. I might get it as my ‘carry everywhere everyday’ camera. The video it produces looks quite fantastic 👍.

Nice & informative video. Good presentation en information, combined withvarious settings picktures and video's. Also nice pictures of Bratislava, been there lots of times!

A very thorough and clear assessment. As unique as the camera I would say. Thank you!

I have the Mark One, which I bought refurbished about a year ago. Fits into a satchel or my coat pocket, which is the reason I bought it - I can carry it everywhere. Got it for $600Cdn (~$450US). It also fit the budget.

Very helpful -- small, good in low light, and IS important for me. Thanks!

Excellent video & very informative!

thank you for the effort and the sharing. i am an appreciative subscriber.

Excellent review. This is going to be my new camera.

Lovely vid. I definitely enjoy small portable powerhouses like this. The lx100II seems awesome and I'll probably get one if my rx100 3 dies

Very helpful insight! Thanks!

Michael's gate! Ohh Bratislava/Pozsony/Pressburg such a pretty city. Great vid too

Very nice I think I've found my new digital camera. Seems to be perfect for my needs. Going to find a local retailer who sells these to have a look at it.

thanks for a very informative no no nonsense review

One of the best channel on youtube thanks Hybrid Shooter.

One of the most appealing and brilliant things about this camera, IMHO, is the fast aperture lens! It’s made possible by a slightly smaller image circle, but it’s the fastest zoom in front of an MFT sensor, other than the Leica 10-25mm f1.7 which costs $1,800, I finally broke down and bought the mark II. Can’t wait to get it.

Very thorough. A great presentation.

Great review. Thank you.

Excellent review!

Nice video in Bratislava. I've been there many times virtually during my Google Maps Street View tours. I miss that city, even though I haven't been there😂

Thanks. Very helpful video.

Love the lX100II

this is superb travel camera...

Excellent review

You have the best voice for tech reviews

I got the impression that the OIS is just a bit better than the previous one. I got the LX100 that produces more jerky 4K video. Is this your conclusion too? As alway"s: an excellent review.

My ideal camera

Best review on the platform

great review as usual, I would recommend to buy JJC auto lens cap, which will improve flare resistance a bit,is convenient and looks cool :)

Very good review, interesting and innovative use of the sensor with the aspect ratio button in this way. One thing I noticed is that in the end you mentioned that for its size in can't be matched by anything else, for street work I've been completely crazy about the Ricoh GR series, granted, it doesn't have the zoom that this LX100 II (or Leica Q7 for that matter) has, but I'm considering this camera as option to replace my Ricoh GR. I'd say they serve a similar public and are worth comparing?

Thanks for the video. What is the widest angle focal length you get in 4K video mode?

that a great review! thank you!

Nearly 3 years after your informative review it appears still to be a very useful camera.

Great on a small gimbal for traveling.

This camera is one of my first choices if it had angle variable monitor

Another great overview on a new camera 👍 Based on your review I am a candidate for this camera but will stick with my GX85 and G85 for now.

Bratislava... been there. Fantastic place. Great people

Looks like a nice camera 💯👍 I’m still impressed with my old LX10

Good review. interesting how they crop the sensor. I have the G9 and the GX85 (USA) and was looking at the new GX9. but as some youtube reviews have pointed out, its only a small upgrade form the GX85, I will wait for the GX10 and see what they do. A bit off topic, but I have seen some youtubers talk about Panasonic going full frame and what that means for MFT. I think MFT will continue to be a very good system for years to come, as it lets you get great reach out of zoom lenses, much cheaper and lighter, smaller for travel than full frame. I have seen brilliant photos shot on MFT, especially for digital publishing and consumption which is largely what I do.

I'm pretty much sold. Good video too.

Thanks you

Thanks for your reviews. Can you compare ISO performance GX9 and LX100 II?

this camera reminds me a lot of the old fuji X10

If the screen is tiled, and body/lens are dust-proofed, I will buy it since day one..

Pre mňa ako turistu, ktorému sa nechce vláčiť ani len FZ1000, toto vyzerá ako ideálne riešenie. Na krajinárske foto veľký zoom aj tak nepotrebujem. Diky za výborné videjko.

Do you know, if the HDMI output provide clean signal in this camera? Do you happen to know how was about it in previous iteration of LX100 and in LX15 for that matter? I wonder if it could be used as a high quality small overhead webcam with capture card just like Sony RX100 III-VA could be?

Nice review. Could you clarify what you're saying at 4.40? Sounds like "logon shutter speed dial".

This camera may be niche but I’m taking it up a level of niche with the Leica D-Lux 7! Not a camera I would buy myself (the gx9 specs out as the better choice) but as a guilty pleasure Christmas gift in dashing silver, a red dot, and wrapped in brown leather I’m all in. Walking around a city using an iPhone camera is so tourist, this is gonna be all hipster. Especially with the little Leica automatic lens cover that breaks apart like a pie.

Hello my friend! After 8 months from the review, did you heard any complain about dust issues? I've read somewhere that Panasonic took some measures to prevent it and improve dust resistance from mk 1, but i had not found any confirmation ...

How is the image quality compared to the G9? I found the G9 to struggle for landscape shooting when lifting shadows. The dynamic range wasn’t great so I sent it back.

Beautiful Bratislava

Is the autofocus in Video the same as in GX9 for both 1080p and 4K ?

One of a kind except for the Leica D-Lux. Thank you for the excellent review.

Pěkné video a Panasonic lx100 II je výborný fotaparát a taky jste zvolil moc hezké město , Bratislavu. Děkuji , škoda jen že to není slovensky.

How do you think the video, AF and dynamic range compare to the LX100 mk1? I haven't heard many comparisons, and from what I gathered through the DPreview review, the only real step up is the megapixel count in stills (or at least that's all I remember). Mk1 is going for very cheap now that the second version is out, so it's very interesting as a flexible travel or street shooter for many I think.

Hello my friends

A newer GM series was my point. They continue develop small cameras by updating the LX100 but not the GM5? Whoever is in charge at Panasonic needs a tune up!

I love the EV!

FF equiv. 24-70 F3.5-5.6 is impressive for this size! But the price is too steep for me. I'd rather get GX9+20mm F1.7 or 15mm F1.7

is the video in low light is good

03:00 you mentioned you like the color rendering, do you by chance have a comparison with the original one? I really HATED the original LX100 color profile and that's why I'm still on the fence getting the II, thanks!

Please compare LX100II with RX100V.

hi can you use a remote control.and what tripod is best for this camera.

Hello. Is there a lens cover for the LX100?

Hello, William. Thank you for a nice review of this interesting camera. In your video comparison of leica and lumix 12-60mm lenses you talk about richer pictures of leica lens (almost 3 dimensional) due to better contrast and colour rendition. Would this apply also to the lens on lx100ii? Do you know wether it will be upgrade of this camera? Thanks again for your efforts.

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

How’s this compare to LUMIX LX10.?

it is a very complete device to evolve towards, the quality photo. the practice of this device is very pleasant.

Does a experienced novice photographer is better to get D Lux 7(LX100 II) than Leica CL because it cover more things it can do and it has analog control, if you don’t have money for all the lenses?

Still have the first gen one... still waiting on the 3rd iteration for some changes.

Did you use a Panasonic LX 100 II to shoot the images showing the Panasonic LX 100 II ?

What is the speed of operation? I've had the TZ70 for travel photography, which I thought was very cool, but just to slow compared to my DSLR regarding time to first shoot and zooming and manual focus.

Can you comment on the high speed flash sync capabilities? Clean HDMI video out?

Would this camera be good for a beginner photographer? I was looking at the canon eos m50, but this has been catching my eye lately. I realize it isn't a mirrorless interchangeable lens camera, but it seems pretty high quality still.

great cameras but what about the dust issue? seen it mentioned in a few reviews of the older version

Thanks!

I have the panasonic lf1 and compared to my canon s120 it doesn't display my manual settings on the screen unless I press the shutter button half step. I find myself using the s120 more often because of this feature. Does the lx100 mkii have this feature?

I love your watches. :) Greetings from Hungary.

I’m a beginner photographer, I was only taking photos with my phone and realized it didn’t capture anything (iPhone 6). I was thinking of getting this cause I travel a lot, should I?

Hope #Leica, #Lumix, #Panasonic will continue with this product, a #LX100III and a #DLux9. The camera is small enough, I am used with DSLR, no reason for people to complain about size. I would make it a little bigger (GX9 size) to accommodate IBIS, new M4/3 sensor, full size no aspect ratio switch, PADF. A screen like the X100VI. to make it more vintage, ISO dial like the X100VI or like the Leica M11. The B&W of the Z F is a good idea. Internal memory and enough room for picture control or User personal JPG Recipes.

amazing city, where is it?

it looks very much like my Fuji X-Pro 1

Does this camera accept a 43mm B+W nano mrc protection filter?

It 's great video, could you send me the watch name and type?

Great review. What do you think of the image quality Vs a gx85 with a prime lens?

An intriguing camera. I have heard some complaints about the easiness for dust to get into the sensor. Any thoughts about that?

Thanks a lot for the video. Always detailed and informative. There are very few longer length 4K videos shot with LX100 II on RU-vid. Just many reviews with piece-meal video footage. Sincerely hope you could do that. Think many viewers would be interested to see its video image quality in different situations (city/streeets/indoors/lowlight). Thanks a lot in advance.

hey there! very nice! do you know if there is a way to set the shutter button to start / stop recording? I know that the lx100 mk1 can do it, but I can‘t find the settings in the mk2. have a nice day!

Zdravim Blavu, kamo ...

was the tram at Nordhausen

Does the Leica Dlux 7 have the same poor viewfinder (resolution)? I'd pay more for that if so.

Light , small, fast lens it is no. 1 choice for travel photography ,it has no competition . Only somehow near is sony rx100 series .Your review supports my views

Very nice review, great video! I love to travel to Slovakia :) On that video there is an awesome castle over the river. Where can I find it? I am a big fan of Liptovsky Mikulas, you have very nice food on Slovakia :D Oooooh and BTW, love all your videos! Cheers!
