Positioned as a point-and-shoot camera for serious photographers, the Lumix DMC-LX5 tacks on significant enhancements to the performance-oriented LX3. The new camera doubles the optical zoom, and has improved low-light shooting, better range-of-motion correction in its optical image-stabilization system, a proprietary hot-shoe mount on the top of the camera, and the ability to shoot 720p high-definition video.
