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.

QUOTE(ianho @ Aug 12 2010, 10:20 AM) 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. well.probably i wouldnt see those improvements is essential to me, as for the look, i still like the lx3 personally, haha..personal preference i guess, considering the money u pay for. but then again, LX series has been at the top ever since lar...i wanted an LX3 so much back but couldnt get a deal with it and ended up with a g10 which i just sold..haha...now they've come out with lx5.....btw, theres no LX4 ?..is it replaced by leica D-lux 4 ?..some say d-lux 4 is actually the LX4 ? |

QUOTE(ianho @ Aug 13 2010, 08:38 AM) Now ur really confused. Leica D-Lux4 is Leica. LX3 is Panasonic. D-Lux4 is rm3k. LX3 is rm1.5k. Panasonic LX3 is like the Proton Wira n Leica D-Lux4 is the real Mitsubishi Lancer. Wanna read all about D-Lux4 vs LX3? I bought both n did a comparo article here. haha..yea i know leica is leica, i just came across some where before tht mentioned bout it, due the the quite similar design. and certainly lx3 is was popular back then.......anyway, is LX5 on par with G11?..as usually they always compare G10 with LX3. ?http://ianho.blogspot.com/2008/11/panasoni...ca-d-lux-4.html The LX3 was never the best compact ler. Whoever gave u that idea? The best compact back then was the Sigma DP1 n DP2. Both had APS-C sized sensors way before any1 else dared to put such a big sensor into a compact. LX3 was popular coz it was nice n cheap n those who couldn't afford the Leica would opt for the Panasonic. Pana skipped LX4 name coz #4 is DIE in Chinese n Japanese. They went straight to LX5. Whether u think the improvements r worth it or not, it would be ridiculous to buy an LX3 now since it's obsolete n the LX5 is the current model at the same price with all those new improvements.
