Panasonic hit a bit of a sweet spot with this camera the first time around, and although it’s complex and fiddly in some areas the Lumix LX100 II has lost none of the original’s appeal. Externally, the LX100 II looks very much like the original LX100, but a new grip design makes it a little easier to hold securely. It also boasted a great lens and viewfinder, and some really unusual features such as a true multi-aspect ratio design and support not just for 4K video capture, but also for extracting high-res stills in-camera. LX100 II can shoot 4K video at 30p or 24p in MP4. There’s also a 4K PHOTO feature that lets you shoot 8-megapixel photos at 30fps.
The hot feature of Lumix LX100 II is that it can record 4K videos. But as we know, the majority of playback, editing work is still being finished in 1080p. Many popular video editors including FCP 7 and FCP 6 can’t handle 4K video files well.
