The Tamron 17-70mm F2.8 is a fast, large aperture zoom for Sony E-mount APS-C cameras. But to say it has a 16MP sensor is quite misleading. I think these cameras are different enough.

The phone packs a rear quad-camera system with Zeiss lens coating, AI noise reduction for night shots and a Snapdragon 888 chip. It's good to be able to compare both.

Thanks. Instead, Panasonic has somehow managed to squeeze in a Four Thirds sensor, whose area is twice as large as a 1" sensor and five times bigger than the 1/1.7" sensor in the LX7. Since this camera has a big sensor and a bright lens, Panasonic made the right call by making the flash an accessory. After I take a photo, the image stays in the EVF for a couple seconds before it goes back to real time. A single focal length didn't hurt the sales of Fuji X100, Sony RX1, or Leica Q cameras either.

It's not just that you can't ever use the whole area in a single shot; maximum pixel dimension in EITHER direction is never used. I don't think that, logically, you'd plan a model around using imperfect sensors. Moreover, since it has a dedicated hot shoe, we can use bounce flash, which is the most useful to me. Through ebay I settled on a Hong Kong dealer with lots of positive reviews and got the LX100 for £465 (716 US dollars). I looked it up, and apparently other owners had heard it too. As questioned below 7 months ago, this model is getting a little long in the tooth. If the exposure situation is tricky too, then use the AEL with spot metering. The 24-75mm range of the LX100's lens covers all my needs. It would be interesting to know why 1:1 is just a crop of 4:3, instead of taking advantage of the full sensor height.

From a quality compact seeker, the LX100 looks awesome, the control dials are amazing and make me want to choose this camera, with the rave reviews of its IQ. I find the image quality to be good but not DSLR good (and, of course, a person shouldn't expect DSLR quality out of such a small camera with a slightly smaller-than 4/3 sensor). I've pretty much decided this fits what I want from my next camera but would hate to buy it only to have either a significantly improved version debut and/or a large price drop on this one. Well, even if they do utilize the common 16MP M43 sensors, Panasonic could technically save money in sensor cost by using samples with defects on the outer band of pixels that are never used. Now it is it works. I have the Mark I. thanks for sharing.. it's seems that you got one of the few bad copies cause lots of people are really happy with theirs..

A lot of people have referred to this as a "retro" design, but it's so much more efficient and usable on a human scale than the "modern" method of hunting through a menu on a screen, so sign me up for retro! I hope the next version has a fully articulating screen. It can only be to save power within the ccd design. So after a month of shooting with this, I'm still quite happy.
