I try and make it back home once a year to visit family and friends. This year was no different and I always take a P&S camera with me. I just don't want to be burdened with anything big. The one that I've had around now for a couple of years is the Panasonic LX5 which produces some fine images.

Panasonic have now released the LX7 and, as always, I was wondering whether to upgrade or not. Thinking about it, I asked myself what can the LX7 offer what the LX5 doesn't. I just couldn't answer that question so it looks like the LX5 is going to stay. The image above is typical of the quality I get from this little camera.
