Exceptional performance in a body that looks good in classical operation systems -approaching the ability of "LUMIX LX100": Camera that I personally want (page 1/4)

　I think the most interesting thing in 2014 was the high -end camera.

　So far 1/1.The high -end digital camera, which used the 7 -inch sensor as the main battlefield, began to equip a large type 1 -class sensor at a stretch, and each company has come out one after another for the target targets.

　Canon introduced "PowerShot G7 X" on the market where Sony's "Cyber-Shot DSC-RX100" series was a sole place, and "LUMIX DMC-LX100" with Panasonic's larger sensors.1/1.Only the high -performance sensor is different from the 7 type, the price is reasonable.It's fun.

　This time, we will verify the ability of Panasonic's LUMIX DMC-LX100.

　If the RX100 is a casual and gadget high -end machine, the LX100 can be said to be a high -end machine aiming for a full -fledged camera.

　There are two points.

　The first is that it is not a Micro Four Thirds Condigi, with the same sensor as Micro Four Thirds.

　The second is that it does not have a shooting mode dial and realizes a high -end user operation system that uses a lot of dedicated dials.Check it out while paying attention to that area.

The sensor is the same, but "not Micro Four Thirds"

　The most important point is that it is an image sensor.

　The LX100 is a compact digital camera equipped with the first microforers sensor (that is, a 4 /3 -inch sensor).The number of pixels is the same as the company and Olympus Micro Four Thirds compatible mirrorless machines, probably using the same sensor.

　However, the only thing that should not be made is that it is not "Micro Four Thirds Condigi".The image circle of the lens is a little smaller than the Micro Four Thirds compliant camera.

　Specifically, the output of 16 million pixels Micro Four Thirds is 4608 x 3456 pixels (approximately 15.96 million pixels), whereas the LX100 is 4112 x 3088 pixels (about 12.7 million pixels).I don't use the surrounding area.

　The lens diameter can be reduced a little, and the image sensor is larger than the lens diameter, so there is an advantage that multi -specs can be realized.There are not many disadvantages.Well, is the number of pixels a little drop?

　Compared to the sensor, the smaller image circle can achieve a clean and correct multi -aspect.

　In general, the camera has a 4: 3 camera with an image sensor.That's it.

　In 3: 2 mode, the upper and lower are slightly narrower and the width is slightly wider.The angle of view (the angle of view shows the diagonal) is almost the same.

　Strictly speaking, the angle of view is the largest at 4: 3, but you can see that you can see the following table and examples.The range in the picture is clearly different between shooting at 4: 3 and when shooting at 16: 9.In 4: 3, it becomes the largest in the vertical direction, and when 16: 9 is widely wider.

　This is nice.By the way, there is a square format, but this is a cut out of 4: 3 left and right.

　The lens that gives light to this large sensor is 24-75 mm equivalent to 3.1x zoom.F1.7-2.8.The wide end is F1.F1 instead of 8.You can feel the detailed will at 7.Because the sensor size is large, the depth of the subject is fairly small, and you can expect expressions using bokeh.I feel a little more telephoto, but I can't say it when I think about the size.

　ISO sensitivity is basically ISO200.It can be dropped to ISO100, but then the dynamic range becomes narrower and the highlight part is easier to fly.The highest sensitivity is ISO25600 (when the extended ISO sensitivity is turned on).

　The upper limit of the shutter speed is 1/4000 seconds, but it is a Panasonic digital camera, so when it exceeds the limit, it automatically switches to an electronic shutter (of course possible).Maximum 1/16000 seconds for an electronic shutter.Although the ND filter is not built -in, you can enjoy the aperture in the fine weather without any problems.

　Considering the sensor size, it is an exceptional performance.

　The shortest distance is 3 cm in front of the lens at the wide end and 30 cm at the tele end.Well, it's not good to use it because you can't stop by.

　The continuous shooting function is also excellent.High -speed continuous shooting of 11 frames per second is possible, and if you use an electronic shutter, you can also shoot super high -speed continuous shooting of 40 frames per second.

　In terms of image quality, it shows a very well -balanced image.I feel like the depiction of the details is a bit sweet.

　In addition, a compact machine using a larger sensor is a single focus, and it can be said that it is the highest peak alongside Canon's G1X Mark II as a digital camera with a zoom lens.It is a little smaller and lighter than G1X Mark II.
