I keep coming back to this video. It gets more meaningful as time passes. Charlie is a master. Really, a camera like this is all you need. If you want to take better pictures, stand in front of more interesting stuff.
This video is both inspiring and depressing. Inspiring because is shows what can be done with a high-end point and shoot (I ordered mine yesterday to replace my Canon G10), depressing because it highlights my overlooking of the obvious. All of the times that I go out to shoot and can't find a shot, only to see that they are right in front of me as Charlie shows. The camera is only the tool, the photographer is the artist. A true artist can make photos, not just take pics.
One of the best camera reviews I have seen....its a tutorial for both video and still photography.... Thanks for those awesome perspectives, the reflections, the lighthouse and the colours.
Beautifully done! In the process, Mr. Waite shows us not only the capabilities of the LX5, but also the conceptualization and implementation of his highly creative insight. I am in the process of getting an LX 5 and Mr. Waite has just shown me that my decision was indeed a right one. Thank you.
Congrats Mr. Waite. Despite the camera, this video makes me feel the really sense of photography. Technology helps, but it's not the most important in the creative process. You gave us a real photography class.
I really enjoyed this video! I've had the Lumix LX5 for a couple of months and I'm extremely pleased with the results that allow creative photos with superb IQ. I hope that you will do some more videos using the Lumix LX5, perhaps with specific creative applications that goes into more depth in each video. Thanks again!
This is a fantastic introduction to just what matters most in photography and it also helps me appreciated just what I have in my LX5. One things to remember with these smaller cameras (Leica aside) is that even if their image quality isn't as great as a DSLR, you end up using them in very interesting and creative ways. I also like the discrete size, as if someone is posing, they are likely to relax with such an unimposing sight. Hmm, posing for the unimPosing, there has to be something in that!
I wanted to buy this camera back in the day, but I had no money. It was a bit expensive (at least for me) during the heyday of point-and-shoot cameras. I would drool over this one and its competition, like the Nikon P7100. Then the LX7 and the Sony RX100 came out, and I dreamed of having one of those cameras. Weirdly enough, I ended up buying what they called a bridge camera. It was the Lumix FZ47. I used that only mainly for bird photography. I eventually outgrew it and sold it in 2015. It wouldn't be 5 years later until I would be able to grab hold of another camera, this time a DSLR, which I believe is in its dying days in terms of manufacturing and development. But now that a huge part of photography is being done using smartphones, it's so interesting to see people coming back to small sensors and the inherent advantages that come with them.
I'd wish this quality would be in videos about higher end cameras, I won't say the brand but is a bit sad to use cameras just a kind of jewelry where getting better is through spending more, and the photographs look just forgettable; and quite uplifting to see a master working his craft with passion, where is in you where a better photographer starts.
I have bought this camera two months ago, I'm not professional but I wanted a camera good without being great, I really like, but as active Nosé flash the smart way ... someone could help me please, many gracias.espero their Answers
Correct ... technique and vision can overcome the limitations of what you have to hand. I often leave larger cameras at home, and take a compact like my Canon G16 or Canon M. Photography is all about the seeing and imagination.
Also, to the poster who takes personal shots at Charlie and uses the profanity...I don't know what your problem is but it is obviously yours, not ours, and it is sad. Your points would be more credible perhaps if they weren't coated in a mess of gratuitous vulgarity. You should talk to a therapist to find out why you feel the need to speak like that.

reading your comment encourages me to photograph
I just bought this camera I hope it arrives in good condition, to take beautiful photos
What a wonderful journey with Mr. Waite. Reminds us how every day can be an inspiration if we keep our eyes and mind open.
This is such a warm, inspiring and heart touching film. Thank you!

I just discovered functions of my lx5 I didn't know of. Great tutorial of how to look around you and using the camera.
A promotional video and a photography class in one. Well worth watching, even if you do not own the camera.
Charlie is the master of seeing the composition!
Lovely photos lovely colours
A most enjoyable photographic journey!!!

This video made me buy one...
Fantastic! Thanks!
that's proof that you do not need to spend loads on SLR'S to get good images. you just need to slow down and train your eyes.
I started with this camera and later replaced it with three Panasonic DMC cameras with much longer Leica zoom lenses and all are outstanding!

LX5 and also LX3 is really a good camera, small portable and cheap.. sometimes i prefer LX5 over my heavy weight DSLRs
I'd go out and take more photos with my LX5 thank you.
Thanks sir ^^ I learned quite a bit about my cam

Should I buy the LX5 or XZ-1? Please someone help me?

wonderful.. People should stop buying the best camera and start sharpening their eye for the picture
For the three dummies who disliked this video,pay attention next time and you will learn a little something about photography.

just goes to show you you dont need a 10,000 dslr to make good pictures
