Panasonic Lumix LX3 Sound Quality Test

[xHRaulx]

Like all Panasonic digital cameras, the microphpne SUXXX!!! And in the description on the Panasonic site it says "True to life sound quality" :)) I doubt that... Video quality is good but contrast sometimes verry high mostly in daylight. An external microphone jack and the camera would be perfect :D

I have a question regarding video capture: Do you know at which f-value it records? Is it a fixed value or variable? And does it film at f-2.0?

I have recorded videos with the LX3 in electronic music events, check my profile. Bottom line: The mic on the LX3 SUCKS, but the video image is great!

Yea the camera outstanding, to film in small rooms and/or to document inside small spaces it outclass my videocamera (panasonic HS00) and the sound is ok for documentation. Its mono but quite good, I recorded some live music and its accepable but if I should use it for soun I use my oter great toy the ZOOM H2 and put the sound from that baby instead..

Nevermind. I found it. Shazam (iPhone application) has finally been put to good use. I just held my iPhone up close to laptop speakers for 20 seconds and boom, a couple of seconds later I received full info about the song. Awesome.

My goodness, the music is A M A Z I N G!!! What is it? I gotta have it.

BTW: Just got my LX3 a couple of weeks ago and I'm lovin' it. Gorgeous camera. Looking forward to editing some HD video on my brand new iMac in the near future.

I got it too, and I haven't really tried the sound to the limit. But the image quality is superb.

Cheers
