Title: Panasonic DMX-LX10K any opinions? Just got one.

Panasonic DMX-LX10K any opinions? Just got one.

Here's a sample of what i shot with it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSxvH32UWko&index=2&list=PLm9VWtRHsBE60Cga8uqFZBSKcqVQbb-QE&t=44s

My question is did i make a mistake getting a camera with so short a zoom? I always have a good seat and i thought that
if i have to film from farther back, i can crop it and downsample to 1080.
I wanted something real small that i can stealth with and this fits the bill. Is there any other models that are as small, take
as good pics and vids and has a longer zoom (without digital)
Also, i'm an audio first guy, i want something i can basically run on Auto and have to make very little adjustments.
The Sonny Landreth was full auto.
It has WIFI to transfer and remote control too.

Good video is just like good audio, not using automatic mode. :cheers:

The video looks real good though I'm going to check the camera specs out online.

I got the LUMIX ZS100 because it has a greater reach and a 1" sensor.
You can adjust exposure and ISO on the fly. Only drawback is 15 min max clips.
Takes about a second to start the next clip.

Check Datflys on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4a7q2DEqDMQ

Love the Landreth. Thank you.

Ed, the LX10 (3x) is the best of the best of small cameras.  I just watched your video on my 42" 4k Samsung, and I'm stunned by the sheer quality of your video recording.  Nice job!   :clapping:

If you want better zoom for the OTS, then I would consider either the ZS100 (10x) or its lesser brother, ZS70 (30x).  Both the same size as the LX10.  That said, Panasonic makes great stuff.......
