Panasonic LX100 II Underwater Camera Review

The Panasonic LX100 II is a camera that combines some of the best aspects of both compact and mirrorless cameras, and it produces some of the best overall image quality that we’ve seen yet from a compact camera. In this review we’ll cover what underwater shooters need to know about the Panasonic Lumix LX100 II!

The flexibility on shutter speed is because it’s a leaf shutter, which is unique to compact cameras and high end medium format cameras. Most mirrorless cameras have electronic shutter options but that does not affect flash synch speed, because their shutters are focal plane shutters

It's a fantastic review, thank you very much.


I would love to see you review the Fujifilm X-T3 underwater video features (custom white balance, stabilization, etc ...)

Sorry, I meant is there a clear winner between the Panasonic LX 100 II and the Sony a6400 using the 16-50mm kit lens?

Спасибо за обучение, некоторые вещи я не знал. Надеюсь, скоро использую Ваши советы в Красном Море.

Do you think the larger sensor size would make this a better camera for video, despite the white balance issues?

Hi! I am looking for an upgrade from my Olympus TG-5. Something with better IQ especially in low light. Nothing fancy though. I don't intend to shoot super macro, use wet domes etc. Just for snorkeling up to 4m deep. I was thinking about Sony RX100 V (I like the bright apeture) but then came across this one. It has similar zoom range and apeture rannge bu 2, 2x crop instead of 2, 7x. But is it that much of a difference? Sony has BSI sensor and is more compact. Overall cost and size is also a factor. What woud you recommend between these two?

For white balance, have you dived with grayscale?

Should one have to use a nauticam housing to use panasonix lx100 ii underwater? Or can an amateur like me just go snorkeling with just the camera? I am just wondering if I have to buy the accessories.

Are the Lx100 and Lx100 ii bodys identical?

[jackieconnell]

can you use a remote switch with this camera?
