I think go to NEX-3 abit better if price don't differ much... APS-C sensor vs 1/1.6" is no fight....

I dont agree on combining threads. Lets be specific, people want to talk about LX5 then come to LX5 thread, not LX3,2,1. Want to find things also difficult if all combine.

Why not? People got herd mentality wan.
All gang in together... a bigger herd is always better to share info.

I went around Mid Valley, cant find LX5. Maybe not out yet here.

not out yet la, i'm also waiting..............

Sure not out yet lar, just announce only wat...

I just came back from Sunway Pyramid today and asked the sales guy about the LX3 and LX5... He was quoting me the price at LX3 =RM1599 and said LX5 is RM1899...

I went to another store which had the LX3 for RM1499 but didn't have the LX5 ... Just wondering now if the LX5 is really worth the additional RM400? What do you guys think? Anyone could find a cheaper price? Please share...

Desparate for the LX5... for a cheaper price that is... (The chine-man is taking over)

Depending on how you see it... in the old days (like a year ago) some folks here buys the LX3 as an alternative to a dslr. No marney mar.

But these days in these price range, there's better alternative (m43's ... NEX etc) if you're into photography and cheaper alternatives if you're not.

So it's pretty challenging times for the enthuasiast compact.

It seems to me that now is the best time to grab LX3 since by reading from the spec, there is no much improvement carried out on LX5 compared to LX3.

Or S90.. phased out di.

they claim the sensor is improved by 30% and also the extended max zoom from 60mm of the LX3 to 90mm on the LX5 is enough to make you get the LX5!

IMO, shops are selling the LX5 at higher price to liquidate the LX3 stocks.

Kambing next month rm1899 is the retail price

It depends on whether you use those additional stuffs or not. As for me, LX3 has more functions that I need... ayam beginner.

It looks sooooooooooo much better now with the totally black look including the all black grip. LX3 looked horrible with the silly chrome thingy at the grip.

Any1 seen it at retail shops yet?

for me i still prefer LX3, LX5 they have the grippy thingy at the front of the camera, plus, tho its the successor of LX3, not much significant improvement from LX3,and im sure the price will be lot different from the market price of lx3 now.

The LX3 grip is useless n looks ugly with the chrome thingy too. Not much improvement? Much better noise control, more zoom, better dynamic range, better OIS, better optics is called not much difference? Price is same exact price of the LX3.

Strictly speaking, looks like an evolutionary improvement but problem is... the market now is different than 1-2 years ago. There are revolutionary alternatives now.
