Anyone have any experience street shooting with this camera? I have used Panasonic m4/3 cameras from the beginning, but this looks very cool. Thanks for the review.
I have been using one daily for a few months now. Not really a street photographer, however I suspect there are similarities between photojournalism/documentary and work. I have not experienced any hindrances. I shoot a mix of full manual, ap priority, manual focus and so on and the LX100 hums along with no issues.
What drew my interest is the amazing video capability combined with a 24-70 stills package that fills both rolls without much compromise. It has filled that role with competence.
With video, the real concern for me are flexible frame rates, good bitrates and a well thought out interface. The LX100 has hit that nail almost square on the head. A firmware update that would allow more user programming of the buttons would make it next to perfect.
Mic jack is missing however I have always run external audio so not an issue on my end. I load up a very small bracket with zoom H1, deadcat, headphones and away I go. The H1 is a great pair with the compacts allowing LAV input, control over levels and so on.
The LX100 is a very refined platform. For street I would think it plenty fast, customizable and 12 mp is plenty for me. If I need max resolution to make my images, I'll retire.
