DMC-LX5 Digital Camera

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5 10.1 Megapixel Digital Camera - Black

The DMC-LX5 has evolved, adding greater optical and sensory precision for a magnificent camera. Panasonic DMC-LX5 is fully re-designed in the lens, the CCD and the image-processing engine together with other improvements and upgrades. The newly developed super bright F2.0 ultra wide-angle 24mm LEICA DC VARIO-SUMMICRON lens minimizes distortion for stunning, true-to-life images with outstanding resolution and detail. The 24mm wide angle offers extraordinarily large viewing space and now the optical zoom is extended to 3.8x(90mm) making the LX5 even more versatile. The F2.0 lens is about twice as bright as the F2.8 lens; itself generally considered a bright lens. The result is a higher shutter speed can be used to capture stunningly clear, sharp, blur-free images in lower lighting situation. This advanced lens also makes it easy to produce beautiful photos with pleasing soft-focused background thanks to the shallow depth of field provided by the extra light. This camera has a better sensor than the LX3 - 1/1.63-inch 10.1 MP High Sensitivity CCD with Wider Dynamic Range. The result is a high resolution, noise-less pictures even in high sensitivity recording and richly reproduced gradation in highly contrasted situations with the exquisitely wide dynamic range. Taking advantage of the high sensitivity CCD and the brightness of the lens, minimum illumination of DMC-LX5 is as low as 3 lux in movie recording. In addition to Motion JPEG images, the DMC-LX5 can record high-definition motion picture in AVCHD Lite.
