Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 Review Technology News, Electronics Buy Guide and Gadget Review Our review partner Digital Trends published a review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 camera and gave it high marks. Panasonic unveiled the classic style DMC-LX3 in July of 2008.

These cameras are for shutterbugs looking for DSLR quality, but without the hassle of carrying a bag of lenses. They’re also willing to spend close to 500 clams at a time when the prices of aim-and-forget are falling to the center of the Earth. Read more
