Distortion is inevitable whenever a 3D scene is projected onto a 2D surface. Consider a typical atlas - Greenland looks bigger than China when it isn't!

The type distortion you decribed is rectilinear distortion. You can reduce its effect by standing further from your subjects.

The distortion that dpreview refers to is probably barrel or pincushion distortion.

owh, okay, thanks for the info!

guess i won't be getting the tele converter afterall lol. got poisoned by my friend's dslr with a 70-200mm lens last time. haha.

wow, thats kinda new info for me lol.

i'm guessing the effect would be less if i zoom in to max tele an stand further back eh?

as per we discuss b4, stand further abit and then later crop the edge of the photo for unwanted spaces.

RM1600 , that's include :

Guerilla Tripod
4GB SDHC
Screen Protection
Free Photo Album

Best Denki n HArvey Norman always got stock 1. Go Harvey Norman n thick skin a bit, ask for discount n they'll call the section manager to come talk to u about the discount. Then u bargain with him. Not many ppl know u can bargain in HArvey Norman.

went to MV fotokem and Gardens's foto(? flash or what, cant remember, uppermost floor)... both also selling @ RM 1699. no discount. very papai like that... i think the price a bit too high...

i heard the price now increase to 1700 due to demand more than supply

http://shashinki.com/shop/panasonic-lumix-...facturers_id=40

Yamiya also got, but sadly. Both shop balik kampung for raya already.

Anyway, I just bought a Benro 250EX, ND filter & Ricoh LC-1 from Yamiya 2 days ago. Only take 2 days to reach me (from the time I bank in)

I am "fighting" with the LC-1 (auto lens cap) now, trying to make it "threaded" so I can put it on and off easily. Half done, but need lots of courages because i really need to screw it on and off VERY HARD! I am worried that tomorrow u will see me posting here crying that I have broke my camera lens Now only problem is every time I screw it on or off, it will produce lots of 'dust',. Need to clean the lens every time so very inconvenience. Maybe if i can get a spare "ring" I will try to sand the LC-1 down and glue it to the ring. Anyone knows where I can get the "ring"?

Y do u keep screwing it on n off???? The purpose of LC-1 mod is to leave it there for convenience n we never hafta deal with lens cap again.

want to ask all sifu here
do you guys think it is still a good time to buy lx3 instead of waiting the unknown release date of the lx4???

why panny released the gf-1 already but still no news on lx4

Guys..Where can i get this camera in KL, 1U, Sunway and Mid Valley??

i also same case with u.....sifu please advise...im going travel on November...need to get a camera..should i get a cheap 1 1st while wait for lx4...or just buy lx3?

maybe u can consider the canon s90 / canon g11 coming out soon

you guys must understand technology never gets stagnant, there's always a new one around the corner.
The main point is whether you're satisfied with the camera or not and whether it is fit to produce the shots that you want to make.
That's why I bought mine without hesitation as well when they say that the new one would be coming around of after the first quarter of 2010, because I'm satisfied!!

anyway pic spam! non of photographic value, just plain playing around with my very cheap new wide angle






Happy raya guys! and enjoy the holidays!

Same here,why would you want to wait while you can get one straight away....

Like me,I'm been looking for LX3 for the past few days almost everywhere in KL are out of stock.....and finally found it from one of the electronic shops,without any hesitate,I bought it straight away.

And even though soon( don't know when )there might be LX4,but it seems to me that LX3 has quite decent performance for a dg cam alrdy
(Above's just my personal opinion,please don't flame me if I offenced someone who're willingly and eagerly waiting for LX4)

Nice, where did u get the wide angle converter n how mucheeeeeeee? I want 1 too. Then I can leave the UWA permanently on the cam n use it purely as a UWA cam.

wow... in that case...i'll wait for it to release b4 i making my decision. thanks for the info!
