I'm planning to get 1 this year. But dunno when only it will be available in Malaysia.....Hopefully it will be less than 1.8k. I think it wont be higher than RM1999.

looking forward about the high ISO performance 3.8x optical zoom is a useful upgrade

Don't think there's gonna be any improvement in ISO performance

The specs do not differ that much but I like the new jog dial. Can shoot with style... LOL

any news on the price?

Will Panasonic stop the production of LX3 once LX5 hit the stores?

new product release then sure the older will gonna be replaced..i think lx3 will stop to produce anymore..

btw, i hope that the ts in lx3 thread can combine all the panasonic lx1,lx2,lx3,lx5 in one thread and change the title panasonic lx series...all lx series in one family thread mah rite??that's my opinion la..

LOL our TS totally inactive, busy at /k/

Yeap, agree with alvin,we should combine our threads together

FULL MANUAL CONTROL!!!

all the below is just my personal prediction, please don't take as true.

biggest changes i can see is
1. FULLHD video recording
2. Improved housing design

- my prediction selling price for this LX5 will be rm1699-1799 on most of the stores in KL/PJ.
- stocks reach malaysia maybe around november 2010.

very keen to get this........

when compared with LX3.. looks like only change is on the zoom (3.8X), max shutter (1/4000s) but the flash range reduced (7.2m) and continuous drive is lower (max 5 pics)..

quite disappointed as they surely charge premium price for this is almost identical to LX3

do u think its a good upgrade from lx3 to lx5?

I know I won't be upgrading .

the white model looks better than LX3's silver model live view finder socket seems useful, can stil free the hotshoe

i will not upgrade it..
i will keep the LX3 and get another EVIL or DLSR..

if i'm ugrading from lx-3(which is a very very very good m43 now) i'll consider the sony little EVIL already

lx-3 is not a m43 bro.

true also..no point get the similar camera.perhaps lx3 can be the portable point and shoot camera while another m43 or nex be a more 'pro' camera.. lol.. thanks guys ~
