Panasonic DMC-LX1 Review at Luminous Landscape
Luminous Landscape have reviewed the Panasonic DMC-LX1, an 8.4 megapixel digital camera with a 4x Leica optical zoom lens equivalent to 28-112mm, optical image stabilizer and a 2.5 inch LCD screen.
“My evaluation is that even without any aggressive NR efforts, the LX1 is perfectly acceptable noise-wise at ISO 80 and 100. ISO 200 needs help, and ISO 400 is frankly unacceptable without processing by a program such as Noise Ninja. Fortunately the noise is primarily chroma, so it cleans up quite nicely. So, while the good news is that shooting in RAW mode allows the LX-1 to perform at its best, the RAW software provided by Panasonic is simply dreadful. Fugedaboutit. Fortunately the latest version of Adobe’s Camera Raw for both Photoshop CS2 and Elements 4 already supports the LX-1, and does so very well. Combine the LX1 in RAW mode with Camera Raw, and the image quality will more than please you. JPG files, or RAW files processed with Panasonic’s PhotoFunStudio may disappoint.”
