Panasonic Lumix LF1

 

A small digital camera with a larger-than-average sensor.

Built-in Wi-fi connectivity ; Wide zoom range ; Good image quality ; Built-in electronic viewfinder

Maximum aperture is a touch slow ; LCD screen could be better ; Slightly muted colours straight out of the camera

Completing the full specification is both Wi-Fi and NFC connectivity. These features allow for the simple transfer of images between the LF1 and either smartphone or tablet, while the Panasonic Image App allows for remote operation of the LF1 through...

Panasonic Lumix LF1 review

 

We first saw the Panasonic Lumix LF1 behind closed doors at a press conference and it got us rather excited. The small size, suitably wide-ranging zoom lens and a built-in electronic viewfinder appeared to be Panasonic's all-in-one - and more budget -...

Small size (particularly considering feature set), lens control ring, built-in viewfinder has its appeal, bright aperture at wide-angle, raw & JPEG, 1/1.7-inch sensor size better than many standard compacts, manual focus and focus-distance indicator

Poor quality viewfinder isn't of much use, limited battery life, lens dips to f/5.9 at 200mm equivalent, stubby lens control ring, pricier than LX7, images a little flat, overexposure common in bright conditions, no touchscreen

The Panasonic Lumix LF1 sounds like a dream on paper, but its wide-ranging feature set overreaches and, therefore, the camera fails to meet its maximum potential. It's got its heart in the right place, but cramming all this tech into the small body...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LF1 review

 

Panasonic's Lumix DMC-LF1 is certainly a good camera but it is up against many excellent advanced compact cameras, so it may struggle to find its own place in the market. Obviously, the 7.1x zoom lens and electronic viewfinder are the defining...

Panasonic Lumix LF1 Review

 

The Panasonic Lumix LF1 is the latest "Serious compact" camera from Panasonic and features a bright f/2.0 Leica 7.1x optical zoom lens, 12 megapixel sensor, and rather uniquely for a compact camera, it has a built in electronic viewfinder.

Extremely compact considering features, Wide-angle 7.1x optical zoom lens, Wi-Fi connectivity, Panoramic mode with effects, Dual-axis electronic level, 10fps continuous shooting, Great screen

Tiny electronic viewfinder, Red-eye in photos with flash, Short battery life
