Small, light, portable, but very powerful, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX2 has a lot going for it. To start, you get a full 10 megapixels to play with. You'll also find a mode dial, a focus switch, and other physical controls right on the camera body. My favorite feature, though, is the Aspect Ratio switch, which lets you quickly change between 4:3, 3:2, and 16:9 aspect ratios. The 16:9 ratio is most commonly seen on HDTVs, which Panasonic also makes.
