hmm ok lemme try

i updated my LX3 with FW 2.1 already. Don't care of the filesize, just download and upgrade....everything is fine!

Just tested downloading from: http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/dsc/.../LX3/index.html

No problems on my side.

Anyone still got the 33% discount e-voucher? Expiry date 01-01-2010

i got it but dunno what to buy

me2..duno wat to buy...if buy third party battery, cheaper a lot than i use coupun..if buy casing, i got already..duno wat should i buy also..just put it there ..

i always recommend people to buy original batteries... too risky to skimp

saying about battery....i've just check panasonic lx3 battery do not have warranty..if use few times, the battery KO ..this makes me wonder, what is the different buying the original or third party...

third party got 1 yr waranty..and i even find one which got life time waranty..! and i tried it can take abt 350 shot too.. not bad! but of cos not any third party i will accept lo..i always refer to the waranty they give, the build, and the mAH..but really depend on ur luck and how you handle it..sometime original battery also got poor quality..

i m actually waiting for the GF1 to be available online to buy it with my 33% voucher....then maybe sell it to make some $$ hehehehe

exactly..might be the unlucky person to get poor quality version and there is no warranty.. ...even 3rd party give warranty...and is cheaper...

i dun think they will give 33% discount on gf1... from the current 3 cameras which can use 33% discount, mostly are those which is old product and not so famous oledi like G1..those famous camera like tz7 is not even in the list..so i dun feel they will put gf1 out for 33% even they start to sell it online..

Yeah, u r right they wont....

So what else do u guys think is worth using the 33% voucher for?? At present, there's nothing interesting for me

Can we update the firmware to V2.1 together with our photo inside the SD card. For sure the SD card have been format before using LX3.

So here the criteria inside the SD card.

1. photo & LX3_210.bin
2. LX3_210.bin

For the above scenario with one is more advisable.

Have anyone try option 1 before.

you're gonna connect the card to your computer to get the firmware into the card anyway. Transfer your pics onto the computer and put the firmware in. After update, reformat the card. Done deal.

Unless you dun have disk space left to transfer your pics to...

if really nth to buy oledi, then i plan to get the air purifirer , after dicount, only cost rm450-500..the price quite good.. plan to get G1 at first, but most interest with GF1...hahaha

i just do (1). juz paste the .bin file in the 1st directory n the camera will detect it. no need to transfer pics

The Panasonic camera firmware update mechanism detects during boot up whether there's a firmware file on the root directory. Picture files are put in a separate sub-directory or folder. The camera will not initiate a firmware update if the firmware file is within the picture folder because it has got to be in the root directory. Otherwise the criteria is not satisfied and it won't go initiate the firmware upgrade procedure.

During firmware upgrade, the camera will read from the firmware file as it re-programs its own internal ROM replacing old code. It will not do anything with whatever files in the picture folder so the pictures will be safe. However, it is a good idea to backup or transfer all files to PC. Just in case.

the panasonic LX-3 will it actually produce like same image quality as the Sony A200...??
as in both taken in RAW....
coz having the A200 but it cant take video when i feel like it.... so i thought that it'd be handy if LX-3 produces the same image quality with video even though the video is not as good as TZ7....

TQ for the advise first
