I’m a huge fan of Panasonic – they invest more in R&D than comparable brands and year in year out deliver innovative and exciting products. I cannot take my hefty DSLR everywhere I go and after some research I found that the pocketable Panasonic LX3 point and shoot camera had received rave reviews. After a few months of use I’ve been hugely impressed with the LX3 – the colours, detail and warmth of the pictures belie the small size of the camera. An added bonus is the 720p HD video recording.
