If you're familiar with Panasonic's cameras, you'll know where the LX5 gets its looks from.

Which is which? The Panasonic GF1 (top), LX3 (middle) and LX5 (bottom). Definitely not to scale.

Panasonic is really being consistent, and there's nothing wrong with that as the LX5 continues a fine tradition of looking real good. The new white version adds to the slightly retrospective flavor of the LX5, but do you know what would have been sweeter? A silver body with brown accents. Pure fantasy, we know...unless someone from Panasonic is listening (you know, you guys did do a Sakura pink GF1 long after it was released...).

White looks great, but you know what else would look great?
