This is a mini review I posted on a forum about this camera. --- I also use a Canon DSLR and needed a small camera recently to carry with me for university. I was very frustrated by the lack of RAW modes in compact cameras. After looking and almost buying a Canon Elph I ended up being put off by the blurry edges and chromatic issues. I ended up buying the LX2 and so far I'm *very* happy with it. I bought it understanding that image noise was its main issue, thus I was not surprised when I got it. This camera is in my opinion, the perfect camera for a person who is: a) used to shooting DSLRs b) an advanced shooter c) not afraid to shoo

I ended up with the Panasonic / Leica Lumix LX-2. http://tinyurl.com/nhewv # 10.2 effective Megapixel CCD with 16:9 aspect ratio # F2.8-4.9, 4X optical zoom lens, equivalent to 28 - 112 mm # Optical image stabilization # 2.8" widescreen LCD display # Full manual controls + RAW image format support # Same Intelligent ISO Control and Venus Engine III processor as the FZ50 # Records widescreen movies at 848 x 480 resolution # 13MB onboard memory + SD/SDHC card slot # Comes in silver and black # 300 shots per charge using proprietary li-ion battery I ended up going with this camera because of the lens and because it offered RAW image
