Luminar! 👍🏼
Bought this one to make time-lapses since the focal range is ideal, the camera includes a brilliant interval timer and the aperture ring enables adjusting aperture without interrupting the time-lapse capture.
Excellent cameras, I shoot more casual / family videos with the Lx100 than the Gx85, its more pocketable with its brighter zoom lens and the lates really helps to frame closer or wider quickly without swapping lenses. The lens flare actually gives a nice retro touch to family videos too
One of the most appealing and brilliant things about this camera, IMHO, is the fast aperture lens! It’s made possible by a slightly smaller image circle, but it’s the fastest zoom in front of an MFT sensor, other than the Leica 10-25mm f1.7 which costs $1,800, I finally broke down and bought the mark II. Can’t wait to get it.
One of the most unappealing things about this camera, imho, is that, like its predecessor, its highly prone to sensor dust. Like many people, I purchased this camera when it cost $1000. The 2022 price is $797. I'm still not sure it's good value at that cost.

Thank you for an unbiased review - This has been the best review on the Panasonic LX100 II - Awesome! A great little camera all round - I've done some amazing Professional stills work on the go with such a small form factor ideal travel companion!
You're welcome, I'm glad that you liked my review.
I have the Mark One, which I bought refurbished about a year ago. Fits into a satchel or my coat pocket, which is the reason I bought it - I can carry it everywhere. Got it for $600Cdn (~$450US). It also fit the budget.
Very nice review of a remarkable and unique camera. I have had the original LX100 for a few years and use it exclusively. I no longer even have a DSLR as a result. I've been contemplating purchasing the LXii and your review will help me to decide.
Hello my friends
Hello!
Lovely vid. I definitely enjoy small portable powerhouses like this. The lx100II seems awesome and I'll probably get one if my rx100 3 dies
Thank you, size to performance ratio on this one is indeed great.
From what K have seen in reviews the RX100 produces muck sharper imager, especially at the borders
@@godofhope but no IS until RX100v
I actually brought an lx100 few years ago and have had the rx100 iii ever since. Rx100 sensor is smaller but i have taken some milkyway shots and even captured andromeda galaxy with it. The best benifit in my opinion is that the rx100 you can set the ring to either aperature or zoom and also has the bounce flash and flick out evf. … BUT IM STILL LOOKING AT BUYING THIS CAMERA…dont know why but it just looks sexy and feels great. Didnt buy because the screen doesnt tilt😖
Excellent review and demonstration of the features. Very high quality results.
Thank you!
All good points. It's an interesting little camera.
Thank you, it really is.
Nearly 3 years after your informative review it appears still to be a very useful camera.
I think that there are better alternatives now, I probably wouldn’t recommend it in 2021.
@@TheHybridShooter what would you recommend instead? I don't see any better alternatives
Probably one of the Sony 1” cameras
@@TheHybridShooter But lx100 still provides with better image quality
Only marginally and it is much less convenient
Excellent video and review as always. For street and travel, could be awesome camera. I might get it as my ‘carry everywhere everyday’ camera. The video it produces looks quite fantastic 👍.
Thank you, it is indeed very suitable for that.
If the screen is tiled, and body/lens are dust-proofed, I will buy it since day one..
A newer GM series was my point. They continue develop small cameras by updating the LX100 but not the GM5? Whoever is in charge at Panasonic needs a tune up!
Problems is that they have to look at what is actually profitable, which is probably why the haven't upgraded the GM series.
Such a shame. I love my GM1 💕📷
This camera may be niche but I’m taking it up a level of niche with the Leica D-Lux 7! Not a camera I would buy myself (the gx9 specs out as the better choice) but as a guilty pleasure Christmas gift in dashing silver, a red dot, and wrapped in brown leather I’m all in. Walking around a city using an iPhone camera is so tourist, this is gonna be all hipster. Especially with the little Leica automatic lens cover that breaks apart like a pie.
To be honest, I like Panasonic design more than Leica this time.
@@TheHybridShooterleica d lux 7 has more 3d pop ? or same image quality ? i know different jepg colors,but leica has more pop to image ? i planing to buy one..thanks in advance
It is the camera, just re-branded.
Michael's gate! Ohh Bratislava/Pozsony/Pressburg such a pretty city. Great vid too
Very nice I think I've found my new digital camera. Seems to be perfect for my needs. Going to find a local retailer who sells these to have a look at it.
I want to start on Photography and im debating between a good offer that i found on this camera or the GX80, what do you guys think its best? I'm trying to get my hands dirt and learn on the go.
Btw, great video :)
One of the best channel on youtube thanks Hybrid Shooter.
Thank you!
The Hybrid Shooter from Mongolia :)
Nice video in Bratislava. I've been there many times virtually during my Google Maps Street View tours. I miss that city, even though I haven't been there😂
Hope #Leica, #Lumix, #Panasonic will continue with this product, a #LX100III and a #DLux9.
The camera is small enough, I am used with DSLR, no reason for people to complain about size.
I would make it a little bigger (GX9 size) to accommodate IBIS, new M4/3 sensor, full size no aspect ratio switch, PADF.
A screen like the X100VI. to make it more vintage, ISO dial like the X100VI or like the Leica M11. The B&W of the Z F is a good idea. Internal memory and enough room for picture control or User personal JPG Recipes.
LX100 line has already been canceled.
great review as usual, I would recommend to buy JJC auto lens cap, which will improve flare resistance a bit,is convenient and looks cool :)
Thank you, I have one ony 12-32mm kit lens for my GX9 and it is very useful.
Definitely worth it
Hello. Is there a lens cover for the LX100?
Nice review. Could you clarify what you're saying at 4.40? Sounds like "logon shutter speed dial".
Thank you, it is "lock on shutter speed dial"
Nice & informative video. Good presentation en information, combined withvarious settings picktures and video's. Also nice pictures of Bratislava, been there lots of times!
Thank you!
Hello my friend! After 8 months from the review, did you heard any complain about dust issues? I've read somewhere that Panasonic took some measures to prevent it and improve dust resistance from mk 1, but i had not found any confirmation ...
Honestly, I haven't paid attention to that, so you will probably have to search some forums to find out.
This camera is one of my first choices if it had angle variable monitor
Take a look at GX9 then.
I got the impression that the OIS is just a bit better than the previous one. I got the LX100 that produces more jerky 4K video. Is this your conclusion too?
As alway"s: an excellent review.
How do you think the video, AF and dynamic range compare to the LX100 mk1? I haven't heard many comparisons, and from what I gathered through the DPreview review, the only real step up is the megapixel count in stills (or at least that's all I remember).
Mk1 is going for very cheap now that the second version is out, so it's very interesting as a flexible travel or street shooter for many I think.
I have never used mark I so I unfortunately can't tell you that. There is a lot of improvement besides the sensor like addition of touch scree and new UI, which makes huge difference, it supports USB charging, and one of the most important updates is that it uses new color science from G9 and GH5 and so on.
its EXACTLY the same .
only the name plate changed to LX100MK II
@@colorist_tommy4247 As I have said, that is definitely not truth.
My ideal camera
Very nice Reviiew - perfect Job. Absolutely clear and focused. Thanks for your work.
Please compare LX100II with RX100V.
I unfortunately don't have RX100 V so I can't do that.
Excellent review. This is going to be my new camera.
Thank you!
thanks for a very informative no no nonsense review
You're welcome!
Is the autofocus in Video the same as in GX9 for both 1080p and 4K ?
Yes, it is similar, GX9 is faster with some lenses and slower with other lenses.
An intriguing camera. I have heard some complaints about the easiness for dust to get into the sensor. Any thoughts about that?
It was common issue with mark I LX100, I haven't seen any reports of this issue with LX100 II yet.
There's no change to this model's design that suggests the II will be any better over time.
@@bjnslc They may or may not be changes in internal construction, so will have to wait and see.
The dust issue was reported early with the Mark I so I took care with mine to not carry it in a filthy pocket and to keep it covered when not in use. I've had no dust on the sensor.
I got the dust with LX100, the only problem with this camera but great problem.
thank you for the effort and the sharing. i am an appreciative subscriber.
You're welcome, thank you for watching!
ok, this LX100 II or Leica D-Lux 7 then?
Those are the same cameras, so it depends on which design you like more.
@@TheHybridShooter :-] Leica, of course, it has better Jpeg software and mainly has Leica App for direct wifi photos sharing, three years guarantee etc. /not to mention much higher resale value even after several years/
@@petrsumbera8567 I like the design of LX100 II, JPEG processing is the same, which is a good thing, since it uses G9 color science. LX100 II also comes with 5 year warranty here, not sure how it is world-wide.
Do you know, if the HDMI output provide clean signal in this camera? Do you happen to know how was about it in previous iteration of LX100 and in LX15 for that matter? I wonder if it could be used as a high quality small overhead webcam with capture card just like Sony RX100 III-VA could be?
hi can you use a remote control.and what tripod is best for this camera.
Very helpful -- small, good in low light, and IS important for me. Thanks!
A very thorough and clear assessment. As unique as the camera I would say. Thank you!
You're welcome, thank you for watching!
What is the camera on the left at 0:55 ?
Love the lX100II
Pre mňa ako turistu, ktorému sa nechce vláčiť ani len FZ1000, toto vyzerá ako ideálne riešenie. Na krajinárske foto veľký zoom aj tak nepotrebujem. Diky za výborné videjko.
Vzhľadom na pokrok 1" senzorov s technológiou BSI by som momentálne už asi išiel cestou niečoho zo Sony RX série namiesto tohoto.
Excellent video & very informative!
Thank you!
some know what is approx the shutter life for this camera acording on Panasonic? i cant find this information, to value the purchase of secondhand...ty
How is the image quality compared to the G9? I found the G9 to struggle for landscape shooting when lifting shadows. The dynamic range wasn’t great so I sent it back.
G9 has a bit better dynamic range because of the processing, I am very happy with DR on G9.
How’s this compare to LUMIX LX10.?
One of a kind except for the Leica D-Lux. Thank you for the excellent review.
You're welcome! Honestly kind of like the design of LX100 II more.
How come? The LX100 II has modern features like touch screen and Bluetooth connectivity, and the updated sensor size. But what else is better about it? The small design details like typeface seem nicer on the D-Lux.
LX100 II and D-Lux 7 are the same came cameras, just with different design.
It 's great video, could you send me the watch name and type?
Thank you, it is this watch: bit.ly/SpinnakerBradner
Leaf shutter for the win!...but the original LX100 will get u that for half the price. Panasonic pretty much ignored all youtube reviews of the original and the desires for the “LX200”. They could have killed it. This camera will not sell as well as the original. So sad.
As I have said it, it is a niche camera, meant for specific group of users who are happy with this feature set. Panasonic fortunately makes other cameras with requested features, but also adequate size.
You have the best voice for tech reviews
Thank you!
this is superb travel camera...
Looks like a nice camera 💯👍 I’m still impressed with my old LX10
It sure is, LX10 is also very good 1" camera.
Bratislava... been there. Fantastic place. Great people
I'm glad that you liked it!
is the video in low light is good
03:00 you mentioned you like the color rendering, do you by chance have a comparison with the original one? I really HATED the original LX100 color profile and that's why I'm still on the fence getting the II, thanks!
Mk I is probably the same as G85, so there is a difference, but it is difficult to say how much better it is.
it is a very complete device to evolve towards, the quality photo. the practice of this device is very pleasant.
FF equiv. 24-70 F3.5-5.6 is impressive for this size! But the price is too steep for me. I'd rather get GX9+20mm F1.7 or 15mm F1.7
It sure is, GX9 with primes will provide better image quality, but it is much less versatile.
Very helpful insight! Thanks!
Very good review, interesting and innovative use of the sensor with the aspect ratio button in this way. One thing I noticed is that in the end you mentioned that for its size in can't be matched by anything else, for street work I've been completely crazy about the Ricoh GR series, granted, it doesn't have the zoom that this LX100 II (or Leica Q7 for that matter) has, but I'm considering this camera as option to replace my Ricoh GR. I'd say they serve a similar public and are worth comparing?
Thank you! I have never used GR, so I can't comment on that. Due to the crop, it isn't very far from latest 1" Sony cameras which have better feature set, so this is even more nice camera nowadays.
Did you ever pickup the lx100ii ? I was looking at this for street too
Great review. Thank you.
You're welcome, thank you for watching!
Pěkné video a Panasonic lx100 II je výborný fotaparát a taky jste zvolil moc hezké město , Bratislavu. Děkuji , škoda jen že to není slovensky.
Ďakujem pekne, spravil som aj Slovenskú verziu: th-cam.com/video/f10abkpRDtU/w-d-xo.html
Děkuji , už jsem se na ni podíval dokonce 2x , výborné video představení fotoaparátu.Slovenský jazyk je pro mě stejný jako český jazyk v tom nemám vůbec žádný problém ale angličtina je už složitější.
Very thorough. A great presentation.
Thank you!
Does a experienced novice photographer is better to get D Lux 7(LX100 II) than Leica CL because it cover more things it can do and it has analog control, if you don’t have money for all the lenses?
I don't recommend Leica CL for anyone unless you want it as fashion accessory, there are much better cameras on the market for fraction of the price.
Best review on the platform
Thank you!
great cameras but what about the dust issue? seen it mentioned in a few reviews of the older version
I have only had it for a week, very long time ago, so I can’t tell you much about that.
Thanks for the video. What is the widest angle focal length you get in 4K video mode?
Beautiful Bratislava
Thanks for your reviews. Can you compare ISO performance GX9 and LX100 II?
You're welcome, it is the same sensor, so the ISO performance is the same.
Did you use a Panasonic LX 100 II to shoot the images showing the Panasonic LX 100 II ?
No.
Thanks. Very helpful video.
Thank you!
I’m a beginner photographer, I was only taking photos with my phone and realized it didn’t capture anything (iPhone 6). I was thinking of getting this cause I travel a lot, should I?
It is a very good camera, but also take a look at my GX9 and LX100 II comparison. GX9 might be more suitable for you.
Another great overview on a new camera 👍 Based on your review I am a candidate for this camera but will stick with my GX85 and G85 for now.
Thank you, GX85 is also good alternative if you with suitable lenses.
I really like it. But not for that price...
Get the first lx100, same quality and performance and cheap
@@jorgem50 / exactly my thoughts.
in fact this review just confirmed it for me. ABSOLUTELY the same thing butLX100 is cheaper
@@colorist_tommy4247 How did this review confirmed that? There is big difference between LX100 and LX100 II.
were working on it get back to you later
Excellent review!
Thank you!
I love the EV!
Would this camera be good for a beginner photographer? I was looking at the canon eos m50, but this has been catching my eye lately. I realize it isn't a mirrorless interchangeable lens camera, but it seems pretty high quality still.
I would say no, this camera is intended for advanced users, who can appreciate specific features. Sony A6100 / A6400 is currently the best choice for beginner, much better than M50.
@@TheHybridShooter Thanks for the response!
Thanks you
Good review. interesting how they crop the sensor. I have the G9 and the GX85 (USA) and was looking at the new GX9. but as some youtube reviews have pointed out, its only a small upgrade form the GX85, I will wait for the GX10 and see what they do.
A bit off topic, but I have seen some youtubers talk about Panasonic going full frame and what that means for MFT. I think MFT will continue to be a very good system for years to come, as it lets you get great reach out of zoom lenses, much cheaper and lighter, smaller for travel than full frame. I have seen brilliant photos shot on MFT, especially for digital publishing and consumption which is largely what I do.
Thank you, I also believe that both Panasonic and Olympus will continue with developing M43, since the is sufficient space between FF and M43 which may not be truth about FF and APS-C.
Can you comment on the high speed flash sync capabilities? Clean HDMI video out?
I has clean output, I have never used flash with this camera.
What is the speed of operation? I've had the TZ70 for travel photography, which I thought was very cool, but just to slow compared to my DSLR regarding time to first shoot and zooming and manual focus.
TZ70 is pretty old and low-end camera, the speed is much better on LX100 II.
@@TheHybridShooter ok, thanks :)
I love the economics
Panasonic could sell a million of these if it had a interchangeable lens
There are very similar interchangeable lens cameras.
this camera reminds me a lot of the old fuji X10
I have the panasonic lf1 and compared to my canon s120 it doesn't display my manual settings on the screen unless I press the shutter button half step. I find myself using the s120 more often because of this feature. Does the lx100 mkii have this feature?
Yes, you can see the settings on the screen.
Excellent review
Thank you!
hey there! very nice! do you know if there is a way to set the shutter button to start / stop recording? I know that the lx100 mk1 can do it, but I can‘t find the settings in the mk2. have a nice day!
Thank you! Unfortunately, I don't own an LX100 II, so I can't answer that. My guess is that it is possible.
Does this camera accept a 43mm B+W nano mrc protection filter?
yep
amazing city, where is it?
Hello, William. Thank you for a nice review of this interesting camera. In your video comparison of leica and lumix 12-60mm lenses you talk about richer pictures of leica lens (almost 3 dimensional) due to better contrast and colour rendition. Would this apply also to the lens on lx100ii? Do you know wether it will be upgrade of this camera? Thanks again for your efforts.
Not really, the lens on this camera is average at best by 2021 standards. If you want "rich look" I recommend choosing system with larger sensor format.
@@TheHybridShooter Thank you for the swift responce. Do you mean FF with larger sensor here? I am still looking at sony 6xxx (APS sensor), but there is a problem to find budget friendly alternative to kit (zoom) lens ...
Yes, ideally full frame. There is Tamron 28-75 and Sigma 28-70.
@@TheHybridShooter Thanks a lot
Hi,
After having sold my RX100 V due to its ergonomics, I want to replace it with another compact camera.
Many options are quite old now, but nobody knows if there will ever be a replacement. Can you share your feedback on these 3 models in 2022?
- Panasonic LX100 mk2
- Canon G1X mk3
- Canon G5X mk2
I am mainly a photographer (family, travel or simply what I like in street or nature). only occasional video in family events.
My priorities are (not in order, all are important):
- Good autofocus
- Low light performance
- Ergonomics/manual controls
- Good IQ in general (sharpness, DR)
- Zoom lens, not an ILC but a compact camera
- From LX100 mk2 I like everything but autofocus performance.
- From G1X mk3 I like everything but the aperture for its lens.
- From G5X mk2 I like its extra reach (24-120 instead of 24-70).
Which camera would you recommend to me, from those 3 or maybe another one?
Thanks a lot!
I definitely don't recommend Canon compact cameras, I have only used G7X III, but it was a very poor camera even by 2019 standards. I wouldn't recommend LX100 II in 2022 either. Generally, the only two compact cameras that I recommend are Sony ZV-1 and RX100 VII, depending on whether you need that kind of focal range.
Thanks for your feedback, but I don't like their ergonomics at all. I also own a Sony RX10 mk4, which I love. I am looking for an smaller camera which, if possible, provides better low light capabilities. If there is nothing by now, I will stay with my RX10 only.
this camera is still excellent. At the very worst, the iq is the same as the RX100 series (but it’s actually slightly better). Rx100 wins in compactness but if you enjoy using something that actually feels like a camera, it’s not even a contest between the rx100 series.
@@jayk3642 If the IQ is only the same as with 1" RX100 series cameras or with ZV-1 (which it basically is) that is very bad news for LX100, since the RX100 destroy it in terms of the AF and feature set.
@@TheHybridShooter True, but given the fact that you can get an lx100 for a few hundred bucks, unless you're looking for something you can stuff in your jeans, i'd bet that most photographers would find everything about the lx100 more enjoyable
Too bad & weird that this fantastic street camera doesn't have a tilting rear screen for shooting at different angles,
as well as a little weather sealing.
That would make it bigger so it wouldn't be so fantastic street camera... it is all about compromises.
I ll take 2 extra mm@@TheHybridShooter
Thank you for this unbiased video!
You're welcome, thank you for watching!
I bought the original LX100 for many reasons, but one of the reasons I bought it is because it doesn't have a tilting screen. I feel it makes the camera feel far more solid and premium.
I'm pretty much sold. Good video too.
Thank you!
Great on a small gimbal for traveling.
Great review. What do you think of the image quality Vs a gx85 with a prime lens?
Thank you, GX85 will have better image with good prime lens, but it will be less versatile.
@@TheHybridShooter Thanks for the quick reply. I'm tempted to sell my gx85 and get the lx100. Do you think it'll be suitable for portraits?
@@saudahmad2087 Probably not, just buy Panasonic 42.5mm F1.7 for GX85 for portraits.
Buy Panasonic 42.5mm or Oly 45mm, you won't regret it. You will get very beautiful portraits with those lens.
that a great review! thank you!

Does the Leica Dlux 7 have the same poor viewfinder (resolution)? I'd pay more for that if so.
Yes, D-Lux 7 is basically the same camera.
@@TheHybridShooter thanks ...
Still have the first gen one... still waiting on the 3rd iteration for some changes.
That will be a long waiting.
@@TheHybridShooter yup. Another 4 heard? Maybe if prices drop. But man I love this small thing but evf and tilt like Fuji would make this amazing
