Our quick take
Panasonic Lumix LF1 - 4.0 / 5
Viewfinder: Great concept, poor execution
Big features
Wi-Fi not so hi-fi
Image quality
To recap
The LF1’s small size, lens control ring and electronic viewfinder make it an attractive concept. But the viewfinder fails to deliver, battery life is limited, as is the 28-200mm lens’ maximum aperture and, at longer focal lengths, sharpness. It’s a mix of good and bad and much the same can be said about the LF1’s images. Overall there’s plenty to like, but the LF1 overreaches and, therefore, fails to match up to its potential.
