bought one today, at unbelievable deal, RM1339
camera itself, 8GB Class 4 Pendrive SD card, case
and ... and ... the seller even threw me a 3-in-1 multipurpose HP printer (can either choose that or the premium cleaning kit worth RM70), and RM40 Jusco Voucher ... i was like ...
the only thing missing is the screen protector, sigh

thanks, still learning how to use ... the result is not satisfactory so far, sigh
btw, may i know where can i get a decent and cheap screen protector? a shop in Gardens quoted me rm35

from home and living exhibition in MV last week. RM1265 with those accessories seems good enough though

my first batch of photos, as i am still a newbie most of them are either captured with Auto or Manual Exposure mode:











comments and criticisms are welcomed (thank you very much )

haha, 5N? no-la, this is not Sony NEX thread thanks for the comments bro

do not have the money for NEX, hehe

thank you. i find that it's kinda hard to take a photo with balanced exposure in 4th's environment. i have taken a few, they would be either just nice on the subject, but too bright in the background, or too dark on the subject, but just right in the background. any advice on how to overcome this?

edit: found 2 dead pixels on my LCD, gahhhhhhh!!!! i don't supposed it's covered under warranty? luckily the sensor works perfectly fine (touch wood)

more test shots today



original shot was underexposed, edited with the bundled software to increase the sharpness and exposure. so far the indoor and night shots are still unsatisfactory, images appear blurry, might be due to shaky hands and long shutter time, will try to improvise next time

First try at HDR

Thanks too bad LX5 does not have built in HDR function. I had to snap with auto bracket and combine via photomatix. Btw, time for new thread?

Oh hi there ~

eh, no-la, this was taken in 1Utama, do they have the same decor in Penang as well?

haha, it's ok i went to different malls in Klang Valley to take photos of their christmas decor

another try at HDR today:

really good shots i find that LX5 does much better at shooting scenery than portrait, or most probably that's because i have not brushed up my skill yet

Happy New Year, peeps

a housing area in Puchong

try not to adjust the ISO sensitivity to above 800, or else there'd be heavy noise

Happy Chinese New Year
