Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best-selling in Digital Cameras
This is an extraordinary camera with an extraordinary lens. OK, the sensor is small (by modern standards) but I'm unlikely to want to blow my pictures up to poster size. The black and white rendering is superb and using the camera is great fun as it has pretty much the same controls as an old manual film camera. It is odd that the LC1 didn't lead to a family of cameras - the nearest thing to it is the Panasonic LX100 - another terrific, photographer's camera.

This is a digital camera for those of us who started out in 35mm film cameras. Almost uniquely this handles exactly like the majority of SLRs and Rangefinders before the advent of auto everything cameras. So the feel is comfortable, the composition and set up is instinctive for old school photographers so does it deliver? With a resolution of 5 megapixels give or take it is somewhat behind the state of the art. However it is fitted with a Leica designed lens with a useful range of the equivalent of 28 to 90 on a 35mm camera. This produces absolutely beautiful results that can be digitally printed to A2 size with a completely crisp detail, this is so much better than my 10 megapixel Canon that can barely be printed out at A3 without noticeable fuzziness of detail and some pixelation. This camera was increadibly expensive and has been superceded by a similar camera with interchangeable lenses. The result is that the DMC-LC1 can be had on ebay at £400 to £500. This makes it an incredible bargain that I couldn't resist!Read full review
I saw this camera in a photo store when we getting some prints done. I already have a digi-camera and it works fine and im really pleased with the results but this was a different beast altogether. First it looks fantastic - in a retro way. Its bigger than the compacts but has a real comfortable handle to it - like it has some substance to it. And that lens! Leica lens which dominates the front of the camera head on. I always fancied a Leica camera of some sort but of course all the ones I like are the real good lookers and they come with a hefty price tag.Here i get the looks and the performance lens wise - for anyone buying that is often the case with leica models - you can often get the same camera basically without the red label and a panasonic label instead. I know you may miss out on the cache element but check how this ones looks and tell me which leica looks better.Also the price difference - i did not need a new camera but this one came in at £300 less than in the shop. Used certainly but anyone buying this sort of camera isnt going to abuse it and of course i got the 1 GB card included and a bag etc. so for the sake of missing out on that new product smell and packaging i saved myself enough money to buy a samsung nv7 - anyone selling??? I just like cameras, just like i like watches - i dont need them but i cant help myself. I was obsessed by this camera and now i have one. all i have to do do now is tell my girlfriend! Great looking camera, great bargain in my mind and I have no doubt the performance will be excellent. Good hunting.Read full review
Camera to a advance photographer is so so, function is not easy to use but the lens is excellent, I had used a Sony F828 for some time the quality of the picture almost up for par with the Sony but the Sony have the better usage of zoom range and higher resoultion, for beginner it is a great camera nad the price is much cheaper than the Sony.
Una sensazione veramente particolare, sopratutto perchè questo acquisto è stato guidato da una forma di "follia pro-lumix lc1". Ebbene sì, non un'asta su Ebay, ma tre! E tutt'e tre vinte. Sembrano tutte un affare, ma ora attendo con ansia il loro arrivo. Due dal Regno Unito, una dagli Us. Una follia, ma la presentazione era ottima, per tutt'e tre. Ma che bisogno c'era di aggiudicarsene tre???? Ma passiamo oltre: arriva la prima, dall'Inghilterra e la trovo in ottime condizioni, senza la confezione originale, due batterie, caricatore e basta...manca qualcosa tipo il software, il comando remoto, ma pazienza....si vede qualche segno di usura ma nell'insieme buonissime condizioni. Non passano due giorni che un'altro pacco dagli UK arriva nel mio ufficio. Lo apro subito e.....rimango incredulo. La fotocamera, uscita di produzione quattro anni fà, è.....nuova! Tutti gli accessori compreso il cd e il manuale di istruzioni presenti nella scatola. Monto subito il paraluce per paura che la lente anteriore si graffi o urti da qualche parte e mi rendo conto che tutto è meravigliosamente....nuovo. Posso dire che, delle tre, è quella che ho pagato di meno, (la terza deve ancora arrivare dagli US ma dubito che possa essere in condizioni migliori.... Ora dovrei recensire la Lumix LC1 nelle sue caratteristiche tecniche, sensazioni di uso, nitidezza delle immagini, resa cromatica ecc. ma mi fermo qui, anche perchè ho fatto in tempo solo a scattare dieci foto della libreria del mio ufficio, per constatare il funzionamento dello scatto...... Mi limito a ripetere che, l'oggetto del desiderio che anni fà non riuscii ad avere nuova ora è qui, tutto mio, ed è, con l'unica differenza di essermi costata un quinto di quello che costava nuova, NUOVAAAAAA!Read full review
