Beware of any camera with a lens that pops out and retracts when you turn it on and off. I have a Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS5 (Not Akichow's LX5 above) and have big trouble with lint and specs getting inside and sticking to the sensor.

Panasonic wants nearly the price of the camera to service it. I found a web site and Youtube video on cleaning it, and followed the procedures with success. ...only to have more lint and specs show up after several more months.

It takes great pictures, but this one problem is really annoying.
