Review This Toshiba delivers possibly the sharpest HD picture I’ve seen on any 32in TV all year. There, I’ve said it. If you’re looking for a good reason to buy this set, that’s it.

Weve just finished going hands-on with the advanced photographers compact camera, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5. Visually, wowwhat an inspiring camera, they just dont come any cooler than this one, but it doesnt end there, unlike the new Nikon Coolpix P300, the LX5 features a larger than your average compact 10.1MP 1/1.63″ CCD sensor paired to a F2.0-3.3 | LEICA DC VARIO-SUMMICRON lens (now more useful at 24-90mm). Overall handling is very good, image quality is easily better than any compact, and the LX5 actually has a very useful video feature, complete with optical zoom and continuous focus. Finding flaws wasnt too easy, but to get all the good and the bad, go and check out our review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5 over at our new site, Camera Gear Guide. W
