Hopefully the price will be low enough to not bring about competition from the now quite compact m4/3 cameras. From the compact camera category, without a doubt, LX5 can possibly be one of the top of the line cameras... I have been eye-ing the LX3 for sometime as a smaller backup camera for my setup but seems like gotta hold bak on LX3 to c LX5 performance now...

definitely LX5. G11 is a bit too bulky for similar picture quality. the only thing that G11 is superior to LX5 is the zoom range biggrin.gif

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. doh.gif 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.
