Opinion:Dust, for me it was not a problem, I have been owning this machine for about 4 years, but to date, I have not detected any kind of problem on the sensor. It's fun for the remains. I mainly use it for street photos, and I always take it with me in the car or in the backpack, and it gave me some nice satisfactions, giving me great shots. It has a lens corresponding to the 24-75, which allows you to cover all the shooting focals and with its brightness from excellent results, and the noise that is lurking is easily overcome with post-productions. I also own two Nikons, the Z7 and Z6ii, with their Zmount optics, but when I go around town, this Panasoninc makes me want to photograph, small, invisible, silent, really great and I recommend it, especially the new Lxii series.
Opinion:without adding anything else to the comments, I wanted to give a tip to solve the dust problem at home, with a plastic bottle cut from both ends and a vacuum cleaner, having it at the minimum of power, zooming 3 or 4 times, the dust disappears from the sensor and machine body :-) try to believe, I carried out the procedure 3 times remaining very satisfied with the result.
Cons:Interface a bit complex, application reviewable, cost of used still high (but quality you pay)
Opinion:An exceptional compact. The quality of the lens (branded Leica) is very high and is very bright, with this compact you can do practically anything. In your hand you hold very well and you immediately perceive the high quality of the materials, also confirmed by the not-so-derisory weight. It has very few flaws: the menu is, on the first, quite complex; the smartphone app (I only tried on Android) is quite slow and it is difficult to pair the camera the first time. I believe, however, that it is a must buy found below 300€ (although it can be quite difficult to find at this price) and I can only recommend it to those who, like me, need a light compact to use as a "notebook for notes" when you do not feel like carrying the main kit.
Pros:Optical quality, a large in small size, value-for-money sensor, non-compact sensor, wide control possibilities
Cons:Ergonomics, too small and the controls too close together are not always very easy to reach especially with the camera to the eye. I've always had a particular dislike for the exposure control selector too protruding and you will easily be without realizing, Electric Zoom and sensitivity to dust, a little slow in the shot. Size not compact, does not fit in your pocket
Opinion:I had the LX100 wanting to use it as a compact of other systems bought used about a year ago .... in this segment I came from Fuji X10, Leica D-Lux 3 and D-Lux 6 ..... immediately I liked the simplicity of use, everything is where it should be, the times in place and the diaphragm on the lens, just put the two A's and you have the convenient and effective program .... but then the imagination collided with reality .... compact has little because it starts to be of no minimum size as you expect from a compact (in the end it is little smaller than my M6) has too many controls, dials and keys in little space so to adjust you have to take the machine out of the eye continuously so eventually you end up checking the display .... in particular the selector to correct the exposure, perhaps too protruding, I found it often and inadvertently moved from zero .... in short a small one that wants to make the big, but big is not .... great on the road to use as a unique car leaving at home heavier runs, but as compact is not the best for my personal opinion. After about a year of sporadic use the electronics left me .... I believe the engine of the burnt zoom, I will show it on the return to Italy, meanwhile I went back and replace it with a D-Lux 6 that I already had, the quality of the files is comparable, the dimensions are smaller and although it does not have the built-in viewfinder (but possibility to put it external), it has however the integrated flash that I think is more comfortable in a compact ..... in short my judgment is overall positive, you have to understand what you are looking for from a machine in this market sector .... I want to replace the cell phone ..... the electronic viewfinder is good, but certainly not at the top of modern technology for this I often preferred the display to keep the scene under control ..... In any case, the optical quality and blurry of the LX100 is excellent thanks to its Vario Summilux 24-75 f/1.7 you see the Leica imprint
Cons:Dust sensitivity, electric zoom, slow shooting speed
Opinion:Machine that I liked so much for its size and ergonomics. The yield, despite a 4/3 sensor and its 12 megapixels, I found it good. I carried her around everywhere, a lot of practice even on trips. It allowed me to have little weight and footprint and to go unnoticed when I used it. With all the manual controls it was then a nice satisfaction to use it. A great camera in my opinion, with all its limitations, related to electric zoom, low shooting speed and especially dust sensitivity. In two years I sent her into assistance four times, despite having carefully guarded her and always kept away from environments at risk of dust infiltration. So I had to sell it at a bargain price. Maybe with the new LX100 II they solved this problem, however I found it a bit disappointing to propose a model that is not so different from the previous one. Too bad, I expected more.
