QUOTE(Sky.Live @ Apr 4 2011, 09:32 AM) Sad day we lost another compact user haha.. but it's the trend now.. haha Was consider the biggest camera I had when I got my LX3 then, but now everyone having long lens and heavy body xD. losing out the league.. No worry, I will join in later when the price right. He... I m opposite side where I migrate from slr to compact. LX5 is my choice. Unless something comeout better than this.

QUOTE(RayKazansky @ Apr 6 2011, 03:41 PM) My colleague also like you. Selling off his DLSR after buying LX5 due to travelling reason. It is tiring to carry dslr for travelling and holiday. Heavy and occupy a lot of luggage space. The compact camera quality level now is good enough for me.

QUOTE(littleprawn @ Apr 6 2011, 09:56 PM) oh~ welcome in advance if you're into lx5~ currently we have the s95 which is comparable to the lx5 and also the quite new olympus xz-1~ so make your decision~ hihi~ I have check this 2. Molest the s95. Don't like the plain design. The most close I like is xz-1. The f1.8 and 24mm is very tempting. But video is bad. So still like the lx5. QUOTE agreed~ dslr is too big for me~ but it depends on your preferences~ i bought the lx5 for my bali trip~ and now still have 3 more trips pending for me & lx5~ hihi~ anticipating~  It is ok for those who never try dslr before. It is tempting to see the big long lens. I start play with slr first. Before migrate to compact. So I know what those feeling.

QUOTE(::SheeNa:: @ Jul 24 2011, 12:15 AM) Hi guys.. Am a newbie here and I finally bought the LX5 in white today after started reading this thread since June.. Too many nice pics from you guys.. Bravo! If the photos I have taken are ugly, am pretty sure it's my noob skills and not the camera's fault.. *lol* Anyway, was wondering if LX5 can shoot photos where it only focuses in red colour and then the rest in black & white?? I remembered some SA showed it to me but I forgot whether it was this camera or was Nikon/Canon..  What is the price now for lx5?

QUOTE(mrjgx @ Jul 24 2011, 08:48 PM) hi, issit worth to buy the lx-5 for Rm1599 with 5 years warranty? 2 years panasonic international and 3 years from the 'Best' shop at KLCC? the package included 8gb, and the lumix casing...I guess warranty is far more important to me compare to freebies which is quite cheap nowadays. What do you guys suggest..get it or leave it? No need that long lah. If it can survive 2yrs, than it can last long. Normally this kind expensive camera have a better quality. Compare below 1k camera.

QUOTE(xXstrik3Xx @ Jul 30 2011, 12:52 PM) rm 1500. including case + 8g + screen protector + mini tripod + blower. They also offered me to apply a UV filter that costs rm80 to protect the lens, avoid scratches, etc. which i din buy.. Now only, searching for a filter to counteract the purple lines when taking pics/vids from light sources. So, any idea what type of lens should i use?  Little bit at the expensive side. I thaught filter will lower down the picture quality? Added on July 30, 2011, 4:29 pmQUOTE(cyberixus @ Jul 30 2011, 04:08 PM) LX-5 + 8Gb card + case = RM1388 Is it a good buy? Or I can still get it cheaper somewhere? The cheapest so far I see is rm1350 for your package. This post has been edited by ozak: Jul 30 2011, 04:29 PM

QUOTE(yhc @ Aug 14 2011, 11:02 PM) I have the same question too. Original battery just too expensive... I read the manual and wrote something like the camera won't function if 3rd party battery use. I taught the geniue battery got chip inside that the camera can detect.

This morning the kit's arrived. Very fast sending. Thaught the hood can direct screw to the camera but no. The cap include can attach to the hood or the lens adaptor. That is good. With such a price, I think the kit's is value for money.  Look like GF2 liau. This post has been edited by ozak: Aug 18 2011, 12:41 PM
