First Review of Panasonic Lumix DMC-LC1

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LC1A user over on the Pixource Digital forums has posted what I think is the first ever review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LC1 digital camera, a rangefinder-like camera that has generated quite a lot of interest (found via Digicamera.net).

“The menus are very intuitive. The LCD is fairly big, at least bigger than the one I have on my Canon EOS 1Ds. EVF is something new to me and I think it will take a while for me to get used to it. Lots of information are displayed on either the LCD or EVF display, including ISO, Flash mode, Recording Format, AF/AF Macro mode, Shooting Mode, Metering Mode, Battery status, Remaining shots, and of course, Aperture and Shutter values. There is even a live-histogram and in one mode displays a 3x3 grip to give you a better guideline for ‘rules of third’ composition. Very thoughful.”
