Panasonic LX-7

Panasonic LX-7.  A used one was about $200 two years ago.  Now it is about $300.  Introduced in market in 2012, it has a Leica lens f1.2-2.3, 24-90mm, good for astrophotography, and low light evening outdoor shots.  The good camera was made in Japan.  (The bird shots were taken with an iPhone when the LX-7 was low in battery).

Panasonic DMC LX-5.   This model is some 12 years old.  Still takes good pictures.  The present value is about $200, used.   I got a good deal.   With Leica lens, the unit is made in Japan. 

 I believe we have had 18” of snow in the last 10 hours.  It is very unusual in mid April.  According to forecast, it will be non-stop tonight.

The camera has been in market for more than 13 years; it still takes high quality pictures.  Present value is about $70 depending on quality.  The used battery, fully charged, took about 50 pictures.  No complaints.  Good for traveling, the camera is about the size of a cassette tape.  I believe this model is all made in Japan.
