The New Panasonic LX100.

I've had this little gem for a couple of weeks, now. I love it! The photo below was taken indoors using somewhat dimmed incandescent lighting (no flash), aperture wide open, handheld and cropped in-camera. I am amazed at how true the colours are.
The camera is very solid and so simple to use - no program dial (PASM). Want to use iA? Push the iA button. Program mode? Set both shutter speed and aperture to A (auto). Aperture priority? Set your aperture ring to your preferred f-stop and the shutter-speed to A (auto). Shutter priority? Dial in your preferred shutter speed and the aperture ring to A. Manual? Set your shutter speed and aperture. It is 4K-video-capable, but I don't have 4K-playback capability, so no comment. Top-quality AVCHD video is excellent, especially night-time clips.

Very nice image, Neil L. I agree the color rendition is most impressive.

The LX100 is getting a lot of attention as high quality small camera with intuitive controls. But many cameras take great still photos.

For videographers, the LX100 is making a big step forward with the quality in its 4K capability. Search "LX100" on Vimeo or YouTube for plenty of examples.

When 4K-TVs come down in price, I'll change to that format. As for the stills, this camera has jaw-dropping low-light capabilities.

Does the fact that the LX100 doesn't have any kind of articulating screen a deal breaker for anyone? How does it compare to the Sony RX100III?

I use the EVF to compose nearly every shot, so it's not a deal-breaker for me. I didn't go for the RX 100iii because the specs were a bit ahead with the LX 100 - less noise at higher ISO's, and the retro controls looked more inviting on the Panny.. Also, the Sony's EVF seemed a bit flimsy. Every Panasonic gadget I've ever owned has worked well and for a long time. However, I do own the Sony RX10. This, too, is a great piece of gear - excellent build, phenomenal results, and if the RX 100iii is anything like it, it, too, is a winner.
