Richard Butler's Panasonic LX3 review is up at DPReview. It was nice to see Björn Utpott's sensor diagram, posted here on Serious Compacts back in July, prominently displayed on the first page of the review!

It is a good, thoughtful review overall, though like other reviews in that it focused on the in-camera JPEG image quality. What sets the LX3/D-LUX, GX200/GRD II, G10, and P6000 apart from other small sensor compacts is the ability to shoot RAW. It's disappointing to see so little analysis of image quality in RAW in such an otherwise comprehensive review of a camera that people buy largely for its ability to shoot RAW.

Michael Reichmann of The Luminous Landscape has kept up with a number of advanced compacts, offering reviews of the Ricoh GX100, Canon G9, Sigma DP-1, Samsung NV24-HD, and Sony W300 over the course of the past year. Today Michael added the Panasonic LX3 to that list. I won't give away the bottom line here.

British photographer Lawrence Ripsher has published an excellent four-part Panasonic LX3 review. Lawrence approaches the LX3 as a JPEG-only camera, so his review won't address everything a RAW shooter will want to know. Nevertheless, anyone interested in the LX3 (ie, just about everyone reading this blog) should go read his insightful review.
