Yes.

I agree.

We placed a higher value on the lower apertures vs longer zoom based on the type of photography my husband gravitates toward. For example, we just photographed our giant schnauzer. Black dogs are notoriously difficult to photograph. The camera did a lovely job, balancing the black nose, the black eyes, the black fur. Also, I believe the lower apertures will produce nice bokah for the close-up floral photography and portraits, wily grandchildren on the run, as well as chickens.

quote=PHRubin]Interesting choice. I originally went with the DMC-ZS100 but was unhappy with the limited tele range. It has a 25-250mm (equiv) lens. The LX-10 only has a 24-72 and costs more but the lens has wider apertures. But both have the 1" sensor. There is also the DMC-ZS200 which has a 24-360mm (equiv) zoom and 1" sensor for even more $. You can compare them here:

I mention this because some vendors will accept returns for full refund allowing you to change your mind.[/quote]

$547 with tax.

That is nice to hear. The Lumix has arrived and is charging. Making our way through the manual. So far, so good!

quote=stevefrankel]The LX-10 is a terrific camera. The difference between that and the Sony RX100's is that the Sony's have a popup viewfinder that useful on the beach and on ships where I take a lot of my shots. Otherwise they're probably comparable and the Lumix's menus are easier to use. It's the best choice of the cameras without an EVF![/quote]

Am I right that lenses will be needed to attach to the Mark IV (and Mark III)? That is a bridge too far. They do look like stunning models, though, with that really big sensor.

Let’s hope I made a good choice with the Lumix LX10. Arriving Wednesday from B+H.
From what I've seen, read + heard, I believe it will be a good choice for my husband’s photo habits. Especially looking forward to the 1.4 aperture. My irises are peak bloom.

Yes, he has the SE iPhone and I have the 11S. He gets attached to his pocket camera, though, so I think this model will be a good fit.

Thank you for your kind advice.
