Over 100 studio test-samples with the Panasonic LX5 (RAW as well)

Pixel-peeping time! Imaging Resource has just published over 100 studio test-samples taken with the Panasonic LX5. These are available as full-size, in JPEG and many of them in RAW (.RW2), and as usual, they are compatible with their Compara-to-meter-o-meter, so you can compare them to the same studio test-shots taken with any other camera in their database. This also suggests that they are working towards a review of the camera, which at the moment is scheduled to be the next camera reviewed at DC Resource as well.

With the Nikon P7000 announcement and the expected (?) announcement of a Canon G12, things are going to get more interesting/complicated for someone picking a serious compact with RAW. One more reason to join the Serious Compacts fixed-lens cameras forum!

The Panasonic LX5 is now shipping in both black and white/silver at its opening price of $500. See details at the Panasonic LX5 stock status page.
