Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5 Specification

[sonq9]

The appearance looks really stale; like not much thought went into it. The grip area and that slight hump for the hot-shoe looks like afterthought thrown in last min.

 

[iNotion]

Am i the only one who think the the color white on the LX5 looks like Silver?

Just found out that LX5 max shutter is 1/4000 instead of the 1/2000 in LX3!

Do u really need until 1/4000?? I hardly even reach 1/1000 on my LX3 even in bright daylight.

Singaporean sunlight isn't as bright as compared to sunlight in Western countries in summer.

Certain situations would make good use of 1/4000, like taking photos on a clear sunny day in the beach, or if you're trying to avoid diffracted images by keeping a relatively open aperture and compensating with shutter speed. It's definitely a welcome upgrade.

 

[denniskee]

is the shutter speed limited to certain aperture size? my g2 has.

Hi, wait for suntec roadshow, 2-5th sept and review before buying.

I was in Australia earlier this year and was summer with scorching heat and totally blue skies. Still my LX3 seldom hit above 1/1250. Pics are taken at f/8, ISO 100.

The 1/4000s speed is only available at higher ISO like 12,800
Unless you want noises, it's no way you shoot at 1/4000s.
Panasonics are good at playing the "number" gimmicks now :bsmilie:

Are you sure about that? Shutter speed 1/4000S is only available at higher ISO??

Please provide info.

I got this link from Website, inside showing some pic taken at iso 200 range with high shutter speed and its using LX3.

may i know where did you get this info? personally being able to shoot at high speed at low iso and big aperture is important feature. else i better stick to my trusty g2.

Well, if you want to take the picture wide open at f2.0...

:bsmilie::bsmilie:Why would u want to do that?

 

[FeiFei]

Generally we don’t do that under bright day, but if one need action stopping shutter speed (1/4000), at least the option is there.

1/125 F11 @ISO100 = 1/4000 F2 @ISO100

 

[denniskee]

er... f2=shallow dof?

why else people get f1.2 or f2 prime lens?

 

[NazgulKing]

:bsmilie::bsmilie:Why would u want to do that?

Well, I'm not sure how good the DOF is on the LX5, but on the GF-1 it's useful.

Is this a trick question?

 

[Snoweagle]

Well, I'm not sure how good the DOF is on the LX5, but on the GF-1 it's useful.

If u're taking landscapes/cityscapes, what DOF do u need? :bsmilie:
