the spec of LX5..
seriously... Aperture is only from F2.0 - F3.3 only? O_O"

http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/specs/Pana...onic_dmclx5.asp

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.

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.

Yes.
I'm wondering whether we can use LX3's screen protector? Not sure if it's 100% the same.

What's the difference? blink.gif

Measuring my LX5, the lcd screen is only 3" but the entire glass is 3.5".
Not sure current LX3 screen protectors are covering the lcd only or the entire glass.

Hey guys,
My LX5 LCD got problem.
The pictures that I took especially pictures with high beam lights inside the picture example like a picture of tv monitor or picture of a lamp turn on(dunno how to describe), somehow turn into black colour and they are BLINKING in black colour non stop(blinking white, black, white black).

However, when i copied the pictures into my laptop and view it through my laptop, the pictures are ok, no blinking2..

Is this a bug and software error?
Anybody encountered this before?
*
Sounds like u have Highlights view turned on during playback.

U can off it under Playback Menu > Setup > Highlight

has anyone used these auto lens caps from JJC? I understand they are quite popular for the LX3 as you just had to screw it on the lens instead of modding the Ricoh one, slightly more expensive though at about US$18 incl shipping on ebay...

Looking at the size, kinda defeats the purpose of a Compact PnS IMHO.

Actually, I played D90 before but didn't like the trouble of bringing it around after awhile, so decided to sell it off. I didn't need that good quality pics anyway. Just wanna travel light and snap.
