Hi-Mobile.net sent us in a review unit of Panasonic's flagship point-n-shoot camera, the LX2. This camera kept the first place among other similar products in the past year with its two unique features: HD video recording and wide-angle for landscape shooting.

My main issue with this camera is the horrible chroma denoising it makes. It turns colors into big blotches of color fuzziness and banding and general awfulness. You have to shoot raw to bypass this, and then you lose many nice features and the shot-to-shot times go through the roof. All panasonics with the Venus III processor has the same problem. For this reason I would choose an LX1 (which has a Venus II) over the LX2 any day.
