Hi again,
Please don’t any of you get me wrong, I’ve been an user and admirer of Panasonic cameras and I’ll be happy to see new releases from them succeed, no fanboyism here at all.
But the quality of this particular image is, as I said, abysmal. It’s not that the focus is too near the foreground, actually this image lacks any amount of sharpness everywhere, in the foreground, in the background, in the center, in the corners.
There’s nothing even remotely sharp here, not the trees, not the leaves in the grass, not the grass itself.
If this is what $900 or €900 gets you, I’m certainly not interested. As I said, any of my small-sensor P&S produces quality far superior to what’s seen in this image.
As I don’t think this camera/sensor/JPEG-engine can be that bad, I’d say that either this particular specimen is flawed (a lemon) or the technique used to take this picture is utterly bad and/or lacking whatsoever. I certainly look forward to much better LX100 samples

Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
