| LX100 f1.7 ISO 200 The lens works just fine at f1.7, allowing use of the base ISO setting on this camera for a good result. |
I use the indoors/outdoors paradigm as a framework which guides my choice of cameras. I no longer use interchangeable lens models. I find fixed lens models relieve me of the whole tedious lens changing chore and deliver good enough results for me.
A camera for primary use indoors does not need a long zoom lens. It does need a wide aperture lens though in order to keep ISO settings as low as possible and the lens needs to be sharp wide open.
Some models fit the bill as indoor cameras rather well. I use the Panasonic LX100 and Sony RX100Mk4. Both work well indoors.
This post is about the LX100.
I will let the pictures tell the story.
I think that some users of cameras with larger sensors might be surprised to see how good a zoom lens can be at f1.7.

 |
| f5.6 ISO 200. Plenty of highlight and shadow detail here. The subject brightness range was very high. |
 |
| f1.7 Plenty of depth of field with f1.7 and ISO 200 |
