Digital camera reviews of Panasonic DMC-LX3K 10.1MP Digital Camera with 2.5x Wide Angle MEGA Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Black)
Digital camera Review: LX3 US model has no menu support for Chinese/Korean (Most Asian Languages)
Summary: 3 Stars
Almost every camera maker in the known world now includes world language toggle for their consumer camera lineup. Fuji, Sony, Canon, and the list goes on. This is something that should now be a given in today's age.
So I bought this camera thinking it should have pretty much all the major languages but guess what, the US model only contains English, a few European choices, and Japanese as the only far-east language. If you want to buy this for your parents or buy it as a gift for friends who are only fluent in an Asian language other than Japanese, forget about it.
If you do a google search, LX3 has like 8 or more different models each with it's own set of "language" subset.
This is normal right? Wrong.
Go to any camera store and pick up the competitors, almost all of them, many half the price, have all the major globe language set encoded into their camera menu system.
Cameras are the number 1 gift item all over the world and one of the rare consumer items used all over the world regardless of purchase location. Guess Panasonic is too cheap to include a few MB of internal memory to store additional language files.
For a $400 pro-sumer camera, this is a travesty.
Just do your research before you buy and don't assume Panasonic has common sense.
