Sandisk 30 MB hahaha
But I heard class 4 SDHCs should be sufficient ...

So I think I'll get the 4GB sandisk ultra II 15mb/s
1. 30 aud from ... Australia. Is that cheap compared to Malaysia?

2. Which pouch is good for LX3? Soft or hard ?

3. What else besides cam, memory card and pouch ?

i did read bout that... but its predictable since you cant compete the details coming from a 14mp sensor with a 10mp sensor at base iso.
However, the sensor size for lx3 is bigger so at higher iso, lx3 is the winner.
the reason they did such a comparison is bcoz g10 is lx3's closest rival in terms of its target market.(as well as nikon)
comparing f2.0 wif f2.8 is gonna side the lx3 but doing such a comparison is unfair since f2.0 is a big step ahead over f2.8

please add me in!
mine is black color and am from australia.
awesome camera just love it!

that's a dealer price. dun see their sincerity..
did they explain why need replace lens?

wow!! i never knew got angel in this world!!
rent me your LX3....heheh a week?

I just sent them an email to said that it is really unfair to us. and already asked why it need to repair the lens. now waiting for the reply.

And for those who see my cases and complaint. please be careful on your camera which this camera really so sensitive and the compartment are really expensive like H*LL.

What did you do again? Accidentally scratched your lens?

If you read my previous post, my machine only mets some raining, nothing to do with lens, that time still with lens cap.

Yup, that refreshes my mind alittle bit.
So ... no rain for the LX3. Gosh I'm gonna miss taking pictures under the rain ...

Actually very good oredi mar. After all, they're not obliged in any way to help him out since it's damaged due to own fault.

Added on November 5, 2008, 10:43 pmHow is it unfair to us ler? It's common sense not to use a camera in the rain. Unless ur using a semi pro or full pro DSLR which is weather resistant. Even semi pro DSLR is slightly weather proof only as in slight drizzle n all. If in heavy rain then u will need no less than a full pro SLR which costs in the tens of thousands. If really want cheap rain camera then there's no other choice but Olympus.

I agree with ianho.
Getting the camera soaked is the user's fault.
If u know electronics, they don't die on u from simply getting a little wet or dampness on the casing.
And the LX3 has quite a tight and sturdy body, so the cam needs to be really soaked for water to really enter the cam.

And I really have doubts about your mum's claims (sorry, but it might be the truth).

Manufacturers are very sensitive to water damaged products.
They can know straight away from analyzing the PCB whether there was water entering the device.
And it is 100% sure, u won't get to claim warranty.

Good luck mate~!
Either take up the offer, or ask them to send back your wet cam (which is useless now).
Take this as a lesson.
I dropped my Nokia 6300 into the washing machine b4 also.
The phone was just 3 months old back then.
Nothing I could do except get a new hp.

electronics are sensitive to moisture, if not mistaken you got milk into
the unit, or was it someone else!.

You should wait for their reply and see whats action you need to take,like agreeing
to their terms.

Of course its sad to spend so much.
Cheers

Feel sad for you..
but hope u can consider the deal offered by pana and continue enjoy LX-3..
