  3. More photos showing the differences in lens coatings employed in each camera.

Fuji F200 EXR vs Panasonic LX3

by David Chin on July 9, 2009

Fuji F200 EXR vs Panasonic LX3 – Karl B, on the extra features and functionality you get when you pay more for the LumiX DMC-LX3 over the FujiFilm FinePix F200EXR:

I paid the extra for controllable flash, bracketing, histograms & flashing highlight warnings, Raw, faster lens, better LCD, better IS, wider angle, better lowlight shooting indoors which includes the ability to use a hotshoe to bounce my tiny pocketable Canon EX270 when ultimate IQ is needed.

Notes:

  1. IQ = image quality.
  2. Raw = RAW image file.
  3. Canon EX270 should be Canon 270EX.
  4. Faster lens on the LX3 refers to the largest aperture openings of F/2.0 at the wide end, and F/2.8 at the telephoto end.

Size Comparisons: Fuji F30 vs Fuji F200 EXR vs Canon G10 vs Panasonic LX3

Size Comparisons: Fuji F30 vs Fuji F200 EXR vs Canon G10 vs Panasonic LX3 – Z Art compares all four cameras side-by-side from all angles.

Size Comparisons_ Fuji F30 vs Fuji F200 EXR vs Canon G10 vs Panasonic LX3

The Powershot G10 looks a fair bit larger than the FinePix F30, FujiFilm F200EXR and Lumix DMC-LX3.

The Panasonic LX3 lens doesn't retract into the body when you switch off the camera, thus making it difficult to slip the LX3 into your pocket.
