The PADs I posted today were taken with the LX100, and some high-ISO shots I took at a dinner the other night, while of little photographic merit, turned out very well.

>>> For what it's worth I have a forerunner of the lx100, the LX7 and while I believe it's a different zoom range and smaller sensor its a wonderful camera for what I purchased it to use as a small, easy to carry and film video camera for Real Estate. I purchased a wide angle adapter lens as well and the great thing is I can set the camera aperture to f1.4, use a 4/3 aspect ratio, ISO of 3200 and set the shutter speed to 1/60th of a second for bright and amazing video from such a small package. Much better than my Fuji XE 2!! And the results are truly amazing. And I credit the Leica lens for a great deal of the quality. The bonus is that stills are very knock out great as well!
