Panasonic LX100II - thxbb12 - 08-21-2018 This is going to be a very interesting take everywhere camera: https://www.43rumors.com/ft5-here-are-the-full-leaked-panasonic-lx100ii-specs-has-new-17-megapixel-multi-aspect-sensor/
Klaus, would you consider reviewing its lens? RE: Panasonic LX100II - Klaus - 08-21-2018 Yes, I am interested in this camera myself for hiking trips. RE: Panasonic LX100II - Rover - 08-21-2018 I was eyeballing its predecessor when I was thinking of getting a good compact camera. The I just kinda lost interest altogether, but despite that the specs looked mighty cool. Can't really tell what the changes/improvements are because I no longer remember the stats of the original - did it get 4 extra megapixels in the first place? RE: Panasonic LX100II - Klaus - 08-21-2018 I'm somewhat confused about the degree of this update. The old model had a 16.8mp sensor with a 12.8mp output. Not sure whether this one was also a "multi-aspect" sensor So that one has been boosted to 21.8mp / 17mp effectively. Other than that there seem to be only minor improvements.

The old one was also a multi-aspect sensor (in reality it's not, it's just that they take the full size of the MFT sensor and crop a bit into it, hence the 12.8MP out of 16MP). This also means the crop factor is 2.2x instead of 2x for MFT. I suspect the lens is identical but the AF is probably quite a bit better. The main downside of the old model was the somewhat lowres output ~12.8MP. 17MP is much better in this regard. RE: Panasonic LX100II - toni-a - 08-22-2018 The zoom range is rather short, at least for me, 24-100 would have been much better RE: Panasonic LX100II - Klaus - 08-22-2018 (08-22-2018, 04:17 AM)toni-a Wrote: The zoom range is rather short, at least for me, 24-100 would have been much better They have to balance price and quality. The sensor is big for a digicam. I reckon a "24-100" would have a bigger protruding lens. As far as pricing is concerned - the Sony RX-100 VI does offer a "24-200" but it has an insane price tag (and a smaller sensor). The Canon G5 X has a "24-100" and a decent price tag but the lens isn't good. Panasonic's own TZ202 suffers from the same disease. So I think it's good that the LX100II is what it is - albeit I'd hoped for a little more than just a sensor update. RE: Panasonic LX100II - Rover - 08-22-2018 After having read the specifications, I'm a little confused... what kept them from making the screen articulating, or at least tilting?

who stated: "Yes, a tilt screen would have been nice. They say it would add too much to the size."

Huh... their priorities are a little weird. |
