The below is LX3 vs Sony DSLR A200 iso test



LX3 , f/2.8 , 60mm , iso400 (photoshop reduce noise, still retain more details than a200)A200, f/5.6 , 60mm , iso1600
LX3 , f/2.8 , 60mm , iso400

LX3 can perform just as good A200 in low light, @ lower ISO and bigger apperture.

Rumours of LX3

Lx3 to be discontinue on april 2009 due to economy down.Panasonic aint making money with the lx3 coz producing the best camera out from the company.

http://www.1001noisycameras.com/2009/02/wh...s-in-april.html


LX3 Secret Menu to check camera info and error

To show the logged error codes and also the internal history of counts of camera actions, follow this procedure....

1. Get the camera into an initial state where it can be made to get to those other information displays by turning the camera on in Record mode with the dial at P while holding down Focus and Up (cursor button) buttons. The camera will turn on like normal and tell you to remove the lens cap if you haven't already.

2. Now to get to the interesting bits, press Focus, Menu/Set, and Left (cursor button) all three together. The camera now cycles though three different displays each time you press the three buttons together. Normal > Error Code Log > Operation History Counts > Normal > etc

Power camera off to reset to normal operation from then on.

The Error Codes really are the work of a service person to make sense of, the explanation is in the Service Manual but without spare parts or adjustment procedures then it is a "back to service" job to fix errors that do appear if your camera is misbehaving. Mine shows all zeros at the moment.

The Operation History Count is much more interesting and so far the only one that I know is the SHTCNT: figure, that is the actual shot count of the camera from birth or from last mainboard replacement I guess.

The Operation History Count display on mine shows:

Camera Info
Ver 1.20 : 0000 : 0108 (obviously firmware level followed by ??)
No: xxx (long number displayed, maybe the main board serial number?)
PWRCNT: 1341 (I guess the number of times camera turned on, seems about right and does increment after each turn on/off)
SHTCNT: 4575 (the true camera total shot count, only reset by some internal service operation like replacing parts)
STBCNT: 111 (the flash count, number of shots with flash)
PSVCNT: 1 (number of times the auto power off has actuated)

LX3 Lyn Owner and their quotes for Lx3:

1)Roxygal Lx3 Black : The best pocketable F2.0 digicam and only G10 is the rival
