I think a lot of enthusiasts would appreciate being able to release the shutter using a wired or wireless remote.
Panasonic includes PhotoFunStudio 8. This Windows-only software handles basic tasks fairly well, though the whole 'wizard' system gets tiring quickly. On the main screen you'll see the usual thumbnail view, and you can view photos by folders, date, or by things as specific as scene mode. The software can learn to recognize faces much like the camera itself , which offers you another way to browse through your pictures.
Available editing features give you the ability to crop, rotate, or change the aspect ratio of your photos, as well as adjusting color, brightness, saturation, and more. You can apply special effects to photos, overlay text, or remove redeye.
PhotoFunStudio can also be used to create panoramic images that you've taken on the camera. SilkyPix isn't going to win any awards for its user interface or poorly translated menus, but it's still a very capable editing tool. If you'd like to use Photoshop instead, you'll need to wait for Adobe to add support for the LX7 to their Camera Raw plug-in. PhotoFunStudio can, however, work with the movies produced by the LX7. You can edit your video and then burn the results to a Blu-ray or DVD disc.
You can also save the edited movie in MPEG-2 format. The LX7's documentation is split up into two parts - something I'm never a fan of. Inside the box is a thin 'basic manual' to get you up and running. While detailed, the manuals aren't what I'd call user friendly.
Instructions for using the bundled software is installed onto your Mac or PC. A version of this review was first published at www. I have recently bought an LX7 with the add on viewfinder to use alongside my LX3. Very pleased so far. I note in the pros that it has "three types of bracketing".
Can you tell me what they are. Dissapointing image quality Video realistic as a positive surprise. Pros: - excellent p video - large aperture 1.
Gets me near 18mm at and still have f2. The first three words you wrote are rubbished by the review samples, and the fact that this is your only post on DPReview in three months, makes your screed pretty worthless.
It is quite true that, when pixel peeping, images from the LX7 are not squeaky clean say above ISO Other than that it is a pleasure to use and images are often better than what they would have been with a camera with a bigger sensor, but with a slower lens and slower operation.
Have this and other real slr's and this is fantastic camera bar none! I can crop and always resize smaller anyway.
Exceptional detail from that magic summicron leica lens. Really a great camera is all about the lens not the pixel count. This was a great line of cameras for light travel for serious people. I have a feeling they will to the same with GX series. If so, I jump panasonic ship. I don't have time for goofy cameras. Olympus has shown some convictions so far. However, my comment emphasizes its robustness. I was careless enough to let it drop from about 7 m unto a stone floor.
It survived! It fell on the left upper edge where the flash pops out. There is a dent, and the cover warps out by less than a mm. The flash needs fingernail assistance to pop out.
Apart from that, there is not the slightest flaw in the optical quality of the photographs. I am amazed! I've also got to give Panasonic some props. My LX7 also survived a nearly 2m fall onto a hardwood floor during a clumsy attempt to lift it from its shelf in a cabinet.
I was horrified when it happened, certain that the camera was destroyed. But it powered right up and, aside from a slightly dented corner, hasn't skipped a beat.
I've shot over images on it since the fall nearly a year ago with no problems. Credit the design, materials, and manufacturing. It also survived with just a couple scratches. Just upgraded to this from an LX3 and I'm loving it. Snappier all round, better noise control, faster burst rate and the combination of step zoom plus lens resume resets the lens to the focal length it was at when the camera powered down means I'm shooting much more in the middle of the range instead of slamming from full wide to full tele all the time.
I did quite a bit of research before this upgrade, and while I was tempted by the rangefinder-style layout of the Fuji X20 but too big for my taste and limited video and the flip-out touch-screen of the Olympus XZ-2 but there are stories of focussing issues and it lacks that high-speed video option in the end, this was the one for me. Dear Jeff Keller, I really enjoy reading your reviews. I've been with the LX series since the LX3 and this door is totally adequate.
Ok,when it's open it wobbles a bit,but it's normally closed and then it's perfectly ok. Just treat it as you would treat the rest of the camera. Of course,if you let your 5-year-old 'use' it,it will soon become flimsy I have to agree on this point. I've never had any issues with the door on my Panasonic cameras.
When this reminder does not work immediately, you try stashing the camera somewhere with open door. Depending on the robustness of the door, this might not always work Obvious solution: close the door even when taking the card out "for a moment". This works better on cameras with multiple card slots since otherwise you often end up with a camera unwilling to take photographs.
It's a real problem where I've not yet seen a convincing solution. That ends up almost perfect except for the missing copy-CF-to-MS functionality requiring to hook up the camera with a computer once you have a CF card as a serious internal-memory substitute in.
But it still takes discipline to keep closing that door right away whenever taking a card out. The photo software that ships with the Lumix LX7 will not work with Windows 8.
Does anyone know when Panasonic will fix this? Windows 7 works good, why do people rush so early to new OS? It's common sense that it takes a minimum of 6 months for any OS to be polished. Well in the case of Microsoft it takes forever since they only make a new OS because they aren't able to fix their current one. But always wait at least half a year to jump the bandwagon man!
The only way to tolerate Windows 8 is to use the free app Classic Shell. Makes windows 8 work like windows 7 but better.
