btw guys, any of u notice distortion problems at 16:9 with the lens at the widest?

example, in this pic, girl and guy at the extreme left/right of the image looks wide sweat.gif rclxub.gif

user posted image

is this just my camera or is it all like that?

saw in the dpreview review that it have very little distortion even at the widest setting, but that was at 4:3 .

no enough sharp on the image....
try using Manual M, for group picture.
Set your aperture to f5.6 and shutter about 1/100 since is outdoor....
ISO200....
U might get a good picture...

Distortion can be solve by using Photoshop to correct it.....
*
the original pic looks sharp. that pic after resized doesn't look as good.

and at iso200, the noise starts kicking in lol.

but thanks for the tips, will try it out nx time icon_rolleyes.gif

I bought one, but seldom use it.  Too bulky to bring around and defeat the purpose of choosing LX-3 as a compact point and shoot.  In fact I also bought the Wide lens and filters.  it is fun to play with them, but dun expect miracles.  Better get the DSLR out when u think u r going to shoot some nice pic.  After all, bringing all the accessories with the LX-3 is not very different from carrying a DSLR.  As for Bokeh - no...  when u increase the distance (u will need to zoom in avoid vignette)  the f/ stop increases, and the conversion lens will increase the aperture in actual -  so Bokeh is very limited comparing to real lens.

QUOTE(ianho @ Sep 18 2009, 09:39 AM)
The sensor is so small, nothing much u can do to get more bokeh.

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.

QUOTE(wKkaY @ Sep 18 2009, 02:14 PM)
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.
*
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?

way worth my rm27 lol.

But I'm quite curious why did ppl keep on saying that canon s90 as a competitor for LX3,but its retail price($99.99) really differ alots compared to  LX3($499.90).If that's the case,I just think that no one will ever buy LX3 anymore since s90's dirt cheap compared to LX3.Like what ppl usually said,you get what you paid for,so LX3's better than s90 theoretically.As for G10 and G11,not my taste of camera;one of the reasons(indeed too bulky and poorly designed)

To gzavincent and tRiXie,
Just pmed you guys where to get a LX3. thumbup.gif

s90 retails at usd429.99 lerr sweat.gif

S90 at ISO 800.

warning: 2mb image sweat.gif

either the sensor have very little noise, or the noise reduction algorithm is doing a very good job sweat.gif

can see some CA at the white container thingy though lol.

btw guys, just found something interesting that might be a repost lol.

QUOTE
- copy the pics from the internal storage to the sd card
- remove the card
- select P on the wheel
- select the cam mode (not playback)
- press "focus" + "arrow up" and hold them while switching on the cam
- press "menue/set" + "arrow left" hold and press "focus"
- you see the error codes of the cam
- press "menue/set" + "arrow left" hold and press "focus"
- you see the firmware version serialnr number of pictures taken with the cam .... (not uninteresting if you buy a used cam)
- turn power of.


this is to check the poweron count, shuttercount, flash count(stbcount) and power save count.


Added on September 22, 2009, 3:07 amhey guys!

LensPen MiniPro 2!

fits nicely in my mini pouch samore lol.

btw, i think my shutter button is kinda faulty. occasionally it gets stuck at the half-pressed position, as if the sides of the button is contacting the zoom thingy.

now how? coz sometimes when click, it will get stuck. and the feel not so nice anymore rclxub.gif

shutter count 3024 lol.

don't think its something surrounding the button.

visually checked with a flashlight that when it gets stuck, the button is not even contacting the outer zoom ring lol. but it acts AS IF it was sweat.gif

dunno lol. will give it another week, if problem still there, warranty it is cry.gif

thank for the info  smile.gif

IMO, get the Lenspen MiniIIPro.

small, cheap, almost unlimited usage, easy to carry, and you don't touch the cleaning area, so less chances of it getting contaminated lol.

bought mine for rm27.

mine sometimes when take out from the pouch will somehow end up in movie mode, custom mode or manual mode lol.

pretty annoying when i want to take a shot, and after i pressed he shutter, realised that previously i was taking a long-shutter shot and now had to wait for a minute -.-"

well, the manual never said anything about leaving ur camera in a bag with silica gel at all times laugh.gif

all it says is be careful of fogging when moving from a cold room to a warmer room as it might lead to fungi.

and yes, i've read the whole manual, and thats all it says about fungi growth lol.
