For our recent Invitational Photo Tours to Europe, I brought along two of Panasonic’s so-called Point and Shoot cameras, the Lumix ZS100 and the Lumix LX10. I plan to write more about them both in a later post, but I wanted to share one experience that took place a couple of days ago that’s truly impressive. I won’t spill the beans so to speak, but will say that the LX10 proved what I’ve been saying since I began shooting Lumix cameras, “Lumix cameras are incredibly tough.” You’ll have to watch the video to see the details. Would like to hear from any others with similar durability, or not, stories of Lumix cameras in the comments below. Let me know what you think.
A pretty big “Ding” in the lens barrel after it rolled 40 meters downhill. The lens was extended out as it is in this photo so it wasn’t’ protected when the roll started. Somewhere along the line the camera’s lens retracted on its own, possibly saving itself from more damage. Thanks to NE Explorer Freddy Kurtz for shooting the stills of this camera for me.
