  1. I bought a used LX100 and really enjoyed it. It has only been very recently replaced by an LX100M2 because someone made me an offer I could not refuse… Auto-focus performance is not a problem because the selection of MF gives the opportunity to focus on whichever part of the subject you wish. Combined with manual selection of the aperture, (from f1.7 to f16), the MF choice gives very good control over focus, composition and depth of field. The ease with which exposure can be modified to suit, for example, irregular lighting is another source of pleasure for this old photographer… I started at age 7, which is now an embarrassing number of years ago, (69), with my mother's replaced Brownie Box so doing for myself whatever the camera will not do for me is, at the very worst, interesting.

    Was it a rational decision to go from am LX100 to an LX100M2? Of course not. Am I happy with the result? Yes. Case closed… I will only stop doing photography when it ceases to please me. Or "inevitably"… Hey ho!

  2. Hello, I enjoyed watching your video!

    I have a question, is there a specific reason you're still using the LX100 instead of upgrading to the LX100M2? I'm considering buying a second-hand camera, and I'm debating between these two models because of the price difference.

  3. Im currently using my Panasonic Lumix LX100 mark I and honestly the monochrome filter has been good in photo and on video. My last two youtube videos were shot with it.

  4. The aspect ratio lever being so prominent is an integral part of this cameras unique design. The lens image circle never uses/covers the full 4/3rds sensor. So a 16:9 will use the full width, and 1×1 will use the full height. Ironically the 4:3 aspect ratio has the biggest crop, neither using the full width or height of the sensor. All because that tiny lens doesn't fully cover the 4:3 sensor size. The corners are clearly unusable as the camera never uses them 🙂
    It's a nice camera!

  5. Panasonic Cameras Are A Complete Surprise. I'm on my third and will be keeping the TZ100 and the four-thirds GX9. The TZ100 I took to New York with that street cult camera the Ricoh GRlllx. On my return to the UK, I sold the GRlllx to invest in another Panasonic.

    I could not believe the results I got with the TZ100 over the GRlllx. It delivered every time on and above the GRlllx. A camera twice the price of the TZ100.

    Deemed as a travel camera but with a one-inch sensor the TZ100, with its 25 – 250mm zoom amd metering set to my fav mode, Spot, it dealt with the brilliant light and shadow cast by New York's skyscrapers. And with less exposure demanding shots.

    So easy to carry and like you say, I looked like what I was, a tourist, albeit a street photographer one.

    I'm so impressed with the TZ100, it is my carry-around camera and is in my coat pocket as I type this.

    The GX9 is more range finder type and not only has interchangeable lens, Panasonic and Olympus fit, a tilting screen but a tilting viewfinder as well. Very Vivan Mailer which was – if I'm honest part of the attraction. I like wide-angle lens, the GX9 came with a 25mm – 50mm in four-third terms – so I also bought a Panasonic 14mm, giving 28mm.

    The real lesson I have learnt is don't dismiss Panasonic cameras for street photography. The company doesn't push the street aspect of any of the cameras they produce….but they should.
