guys, i want to get this camera primarily for street photography, so i was wondering, is the focus FAST? i have another camera in mind, the Ricoh GRD2 and it has a SNAP focus mode, where u dont have to wait for autofocus and it takes almost instant.
does manual focus stays after i take a shop until i set it to auto?
thank you, i need to make a quick decision =p
check back the page 1 where lx3 compare to ricoh 200...
almost the same focus speed with grd2 i can say.
lx3 has locked focus .. which means u locked the focus d...u can snap picture...as for continously,someone need to check with it..coz the camera is not with me now.....others correct me if im wrong. and it has the locked focus button beside the snap button...see picture..it has locked focus button...

lx3 has also fast focus one point option combine with f2.0 lens....= super fast focus..

Hi LX3 ppl !!!!
I am about to fall for either a F100d or a LX3 but the price difference is so huge now...RM 999 and RM 1530 ??

I'm currently reading
http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp...essage=30009311 ... interesting...flaming here and there....
Need more comparison and reasoning to convince me

u already buy d....why bother to ask...
rm 1 k and rm 1.5 k ....rm 500 difference lar..it's too much to compare jz like that...if i were u ..i will buy the cheaper one instead....
Different league digicam... one got manual mode and raw and all the 3rd party accesories available ...another one rm 1 k only and can take good photos also....
if got money to spare..lx3......if tight budget then fuji f100d...i know fuji is good as well...if i has only rm 1k and dun plan to play manual function...i will get fuji f100d instead of canon Ixus series.But fuji f50 and f100D still fail to capture back the legend title which hold by f31fd
the only thing that can make u regret buying f100 d is...it's already 1 year....if f200d come out...and has better spec....then u sure rugi...and..the upcoming early year fuji super ccd EXR sensor..will make u regret...

Well ur in LX3 thread, which do you think most of the people here would suggest?

no...this is not a DSLR topic where supporter will support back their camera brand...dont believe me..u can go to dslr topic
this topic caters to support user which camera to buy as well....by making their money spent well worthy
if someone come into here..and ask...."my budget is rm 2 k..and i dont mind the size and i want it to be good"
s8 i will ask him to get sony A200 2 lens kit rm 1.8 k or the canon 1000D 1 lens kit rm 1.8 k...definitely wont be lx3 for sure.
