Have you got any experience dealing with yamiya? RM1691 sounds very reasonable compared to the RM1899 RRP.

FYI, I bought a 450D last year from Lowyat Plaza (not revealing the shop name here), and recently I sent the camera to Canon service centre due to its faulty sensor. It would cost me RM8xx to be replaced and the people there insisted that my camera S/N reveals that it is a parallel import unit thus it is not covered by the warranty here. I have the warranty cards with me (1 for camera another 1 for lens) but Canon insists that the warranty is invalid. Well, I'm still in the process of disputing with them.

So yeah, I wouldn't like to experience the same with my future cameras.

Hi Guys,

Just an update. I got this link when browsing for Plasma TVs.
LX5 around that price? RM15xx for LYN forumers

Is the seller reliable?

Anybody here in Malaysia has gotten the LX5 camera? Where can we buy it? Has it arrived at our shore?

I bought a plasma TV and a HT set from this guy, should be okay. He got a store somewhere in Kajang. Planning to get LX5 from him as well.. huhu.

i am looking to buy LX-3, but now that LX-5 is arriving, no point getting LX-3 anymore?? or it is still worth it if i wan to cut down my cost?

i also looking at lx5...although the lx3 used is very cheap now...

hopefully can get and test LX5 within this week..

i've saw a series of photos here,looks very nice,but...if we put it in auto mode,is it possible to take so nice pics like the sample?

while LX3 Aperture is from F2.0 - F8.0... is that a downgrade?

Would like to try out LX5...
but definitely will not upgrade my LX3 to LX5.
the mp still the same... 10.1 =.="
if LX5 mp is 12. i would consider...

I think u got it wrong.
LX3 is 2.0 - 2.8.
This is 24-60mm.

LX5 is 2.0 - 3.3
But it's from 24-90mm.
It's the same as LX3 up to 60mm, just with a longer reach.

Yes I got it from him as well yesterday. COD at Midvalley.

Already registered at Panasonic to get the extended warranty of one year.

Great little camera. Going through the manual now.

Wanna ask new LX5 uses... the manual says lens cap strap included, but I can't seem to find mine
Is yours included?

Yes, it is in a little plastic bag, stuck together with the AV output plastic bag.

AHAHA! Thanks!
Don't know how can I not see it.

U guys noticed that the 3inch screen protector is too small to cover the lx5 screen properly?

I had to get a 3.6 and cut slightly to fit.
