Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7 Compact Camera Introduction

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7 Camera is a 10 Megapixel compact camera which is lately added to it’s bridge camera segment by the Japanese electronics manufacturer. The camera offers 3.8x optical zoom lens, similar to its predecessor LX5, but this time it is packed with f/1.4 aperture, which is just too perfect for low light shots.
