'a camera that could really appeal to an enthusiast'
'It's a small and tough package, with a rubberised grip on the right-hand side and precise, almost military-looking controls.'
'With the GX100, Ricoh has set out to combine the quality, performance and versatility of a high-end semi-pro camera with the convenience and portability of a pocket compact.'
'It has everything I am personally looking for in a compact camera'
'a 1/1.8-inch CCD sensor and 12x optical zoom lens'
'Images shot at high ISOs are noisy.'
'the FZ20 sports a Leica-branded DC Vario-Elmarit zoom with a whopping 12x optical range (35-420mm equiv), though this time without the constant F2.8 aperture.'
'The Panasonic LX1 is choked full of features: 60-1/2,000 sec. shutter speed range'
'So, while the good news is that shooting in RAW mode allows the LX-1 to perform
at its best, the RAW software provided by Panasonic is simply dreadful.'
'nice Leica Vario-Elmarit DC 4x optical zoom lens.'
'the LX1 features a two-mode MEGA OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) system'
