NEW!~PANASONIC Lumix DMC-LX3(BLK) DIGITAL VIDEO CAMERA

With F2.0 24mm Ultra Wide Angle* LEICA DC VARIO-SUMMICRON Lens
*35mm film camera equivalent: 24-60mm

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 is an extraordinary compact camera that allows creative photographers to achieve highly expressive images with desirable effects. Developed with a large, 1/1.63-inch 10.1 megapixels ultra-high sensitivity CCD, it boasts cleaner and sharper images through minimizing noise generation and better colour reproduction in low lighting. A significant feature of the LX3 is the usage of a 24-60mm f/2.0-2.8 LEICA DC VARIO-SUMMICRON lens that exceeds industry standards with its ultra-wide-angle perspective and large aperture brightness. High brightness at f/2.0 aperture brings beautiful soft focus to shots with shallow depth of field while the 24mm wide-angle setting is ideal for capturing sweeping landscapes.

In the A/S/M mode, you have direct access to settings for Aperture-priority, Shutter-priority and for Manual Exposure. Various artistic effects can be achieved experimenting with different aperture and shutter settings and in Manual Exposure mode, it further lets you set both the aperture and shutter speed together at the same time. A switch on the side of the lens barrel lets you quickly change the focus mode between MF, AF or Macro AF. The Movable MF Assist functions lets you move the part that is enlarged by the MF Assist function to any area of the frame you want. When you select Multi-point AF, you can choose and set the AF area out of 11 selectable points, preventing the system from mistakenly focusing on the area between two subjects in a vertical or horizontal composition. RAW format shooting allows extensive adjustments to image data and a high resolution 3-inch LCD helps frame your shots in stunning accuracy.

A Pleasure to Own, a Joy to Use

Designed for easy, creative shooting, and high-performance in low-light conditions, the DMC-LX3 features a F2.0 24mm LEICA DC VARIO-SUMMICRON lens, 10.1 mega pixels and an ultra-sensitive 1/1.63-inch CCD developed specifically for this model.  By combining a high-quality lens and sensor ready for a variety of shooting conditions with a wide-range of accessories and manual controls, the DMC-LX3 is ideal for professional photographers and serious amateurs looking for a compact digital camera that furthers their creative photography.

More than Just a High Pixel Count

The Highest-Quality Images Ever from a Compact Digital Camera

At the heart of the DMC-LX3, is its 1/1.63-inch CCD.  Making the intentional choice to limit the number of mega pixels to 10.1 on its CCD, Panasonic was able to give more space for each pixel and also redesigned the peripheral circuits and other components to further minimize noise generation.  As a result, sensitivity is almost 40 percent higher and saturation is increased by 35 percent, when compared to Panasonics 10 MP digital cameras*, giving the DMC-LX3 outstanding image quality and a wide dynamic range, and meeting the demand for a camera that works optimally in low-light environments.  The CCD is also capable of reproducing images in three aspect ratios 4:3, 3:2 or 16:9.  The new Multi Aspect mode allows the camera to take an image in all three aspect ratios simultaneously, allowing you to choose the version that best suits their needs.

Large Aperture F2.0, 24mm Wide-Angle

Another major upgrade to the DMC-LX3 is the F2.0 24mm ultra wide-angle LEICA DC VARIO-SUMMICRON lens.  The F2.0 is about twice as bright as a F2.8 lens and can shoot at higher shutter speeds to capture clear, blur-free images in dimly lit environments.  In addition, the 24mm lens captures approximately a 213% larger viewing angle than a normal 35mm camera and 136% larger compared to a 28mm wide-angle lens.  The lens unit consists of eight elements in six groups with four aspherical lenses with four aspherical surfaces.  As a result of the F2.0 lens, the DMC-LX3 produces high resolution and minimal distortion and artifacts such as chromatic aberrations, ghosting and flaring. 

Shooting Functions that Invite Creativity

The DMC-LX3 features a Film mode with six color types and three types of monochrome selections.  Much like selecting from different film types, this function gives you the flexibility and creative freedom to take more expressive digital photos.  Also, when using the Multi-film mode, the DMC-LX3 produces a maximum of three images from a RAW file for you to compare the different textures.  Another new feature is the multiple-exposure feature, which lets you create artistic photos by overlaying up to three consecutive images; while still viewing the last image on the 3.0-inch LCD screen.  The LCD on the DMC-LX3 is new and improved with a 460,000-dot high resolution.
