QUOTE(limsy @ Nov 24 2008, 02:39 AM)
Thanks for the help guys. I only wished I had set aside some time for camera shopping BEFORE my trip... (I just came back last week...)
Oh well... all is not lost I guess... I just have to watch AirAsia's FREE ticket giveaways like a hawk from now onwards.  tongue.gif

I don't plan my picture taking outings... most of the time my pic taking itch is when I see something really nice. Ranges from breathtaking seneries to CUTE packaging of stuff in supermarkets.  tongue.gif

So I guess DSLR is out of the question for me now.  The most important thing I need from the camera is to be able to take landscape pictures without losing their vibrant colors even under low light conditions. I always face problems with getting enough light and I hate using flash which tend to "ghost" my subjects. (But that's mainly due to my noobish lighting knowledge and crappy camera)

The reason I wanted zoom is I love animals and birds. I've always wanted to be able to zoom a bird from afar and get that perfect close up.

But I guess I'll just have to leave that part out till I gain some skills before I jump into the DSLR world.  tongue.gif

Thanks again for the help.  All I need now is to find a shop with a good offer for a black LX3.  *drool*

btw... just a question. I've gone through some of the posts around here mentioning about tele 2x, 3x, etc... I'm a bit confused on what these do. Will they be able to help me get that close up shot of the lone bird on the tree top?

Thanks again.
*
the answer is no.

bird shot up the tree..u need fz28 tele zoom,even with fz28..the picture wont be as good as dslr with tele lens..or dslr with tele lens.

lx3 cant get anywhere near there ..same goes to g10..

off topic a bit :

a deadly combo to dslr camera will be

panasonic lx3 f2.0 lens with lx3 body combine with canon g10 digic 4 brain due to its jpeg processing (if can the dial control included) combine with fuji super CCD F31FD 1/1.6 sensor (to include the low noise ISO legend) combine with olympus miu all weather proof technology = WINNER

Hi all,

Been checking this topic for quite a while, did not post anything as not yet get my LX3. tongue.gif
Willing to learn more about you guys over here.

A few concern that I am facing:

1. Can I get a spare battery from ebay, or must I use back a Lumix battery?

2. Any difference between 46mm and 52mm lens?
The shop keeper proposed me 52mm lens, telling me 46mm parts are hard to find. Is this the main reason?
3. Any diff between Raw / Jpeg?

Thanks a lot! biggrin.gif
*
spare battery

yes u can...

3rd party battery cost rm 40++

original panasonic the last i asked was rm 80..dunno true or not.

Hey guys there are some questions I would like to ask about the LX3 that I still dont know
1) for AF mode selection.. what is the difference between the one with a rectangular box and the rectangular box with a H on the lower right?

2) for Pre AF, what does it mean? and what does QAF and CAF means?

3) is Intelligent Exposure effective? do you guys use them??

4) for stabilizer options, what is mode 1 and mode 2??? I just leave it in Auto all the time..
sorry for the noob questions! please help me!  smile.gif
*
1)one is high speed focus...normally use without H unless u wanna capture something really fast....im not too sure

2)pre af? pre af is like i preset the focus..then u dun need to focus later..jz snap if the range is the same.....qaf means u need to press the button to focus...CAF means continous focus..drivin by motor...will eat battery lor.)

3)IE means....like u take a daylight picture..right side got tree...and under the tree very dark mah...sure under expose there while other place normal..so u on the IE lor..so that under the tree there looks brighter...which means that part of picture ISO is higher lor...

4) mode 2 for video means on all the time.... mode 1 for picture..means snap picture only the OIS is on

correct me if wrong

Actually the AWB on LX3/DL4 is damn good. IMO the AWB update is only to make sure it works perfectly with the FL220 flash. I dunno y every1 is complaining about it. U guys shud see the useless AWB on my EOS40D. That bugger's AWB cannot use 1. Take food shots in restaurant guarantee PHAIL. N that's from a semi pro SLR. 
u dun like sell the eos40d cheap cheap to me can ar?i give u a big kiss lor

QUOTE(ryuuzaki @ Dec 7 2008, 02:49 AM)
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...

user posted image


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 ?? sad.gif

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 tongue.gif
*
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...

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.
