Canon G10 vs Panasonic LX3: Enrique Owns Both – Enrique:
The G10 has a better screen, visible in bright sunlight, longer zoom and it’s a bit less noisy at base ISO. The LX3 is considerably smaller and lighter, so more pocketable, offers native 16:9, has a faster lens, is less noisy at higher ISO, it has a great 24mm wideangle and IQ is a bit more 3D.
To a great extent, it is a matter of personal preferences. I hesitated a lot, that’s why I have both, but not long ago I realized that I have 3 times more keepers with the LX3. I would keep the LX3 without a doubt.
