Graphics, User Interfaces 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.

BTW, please keep the discussion on topic, about the camera itself.

Sorry about that.

When it comes to the camera, it looks just awesome if you ask me. I checked out the videos, and they are "out of this world" compared to cameras in this price range.

I have one question;

Does this camera have a audio out port for headphones?
I would assume this camera can play video files from the sd-card, and there is a audio out port, i would load up my sd-card with videos for those long flights when going on vacation. it's a feature iv missed on all my digital cameras so far (many of which has a 3"+ lcd. Such a waste).

I'm not sure how far up "this price range" goes, but the Canon Powershot TX1 also does HD video, for not all that much more.

I wish I had one of those to review. ;)

No. I don't think that it is a good idea to watch video on a camera because these cameras can only decode mjpeg which is huge in terms of filesize. Additionally, having the LCD ON for a full movie, it will drain down the battery much faster than you think. Cellphones and PDAs are much better for movie viewing on a plane than digicams, because of the battery problem.
