Well, I overexposed most of my night scenes and the IA underexpose the rest of my day scenes ....
So the 400 shots I took ... most of them went down the drain LOL !

Here's a sample. I think it's slightly underexposed... Many others are 2 times worse than this ...

Anyways ... Is the lenspen good ?? Do I need to replace the pen if it's dirty?


Attached thumbnail(s)

Haha I can't be bothered by morning shots so I just set IA and shoot away.

I'll be more careful and try out other metering options next time.

If you limit your ISO at P mode and depending on the lighting around. The shutter speed will decrease.

But if you wanna set it yourself, go to S (Shutter Priority) or M (Manual).

Can't you just use the cable?

I tried the Nikon DSLR that has Max Aperture of f3.7 to take pictures of my LX3 ...
I forgot the model but it's quite a cheap DSLR

Guess what, I have difficulties shooting good photos without turning on the flash.
But if I turn on the flash I can't put the camera too near because the lens would block some flash light.

Here's my advice, DON'T GET A CHEAP DSLR. LOL!

Oh, so you would suggest Ppsprov to get a DSLR at the same price of the LX3, then get the lens (a few hundred bucks) just to match/beat LX3's performance?

That's very bright of you

LOL there you go ... a few thousand bucks

Well I tried my best to be honest. The standard lens limit me to capture without flash in low lights. If you would offer some advice I would greatly appreciate it

Price ranges from 1550 to 1700+ depending on the freebies you're getting.

It's going to be more expensive in Australia. But do note that if you buy within 1 month before departure. You can claim back GST from the camera.

EDIT: at the airport

Well ... walk the talk then

Stop with your nonsense unless you can tell me other ways around it ya?

LOL If you wanna get the P6000 you might as well just get the canon G10

There are plenty of space inside the main pouch and lots of smaller pockets around you can put all your accessories in eg. charger, extra bat, extra sdcard. I'm currently using it and I'm very very happy with it.

Comes with both zip and sticking cover (I forgot the term ) and big enough to fit everything I need. That's why I choose the bag. Check it out in Malaysia to see if it fits you

It costs me 35 AUD for the bag. SO if you can get a kata bag, you can definitely get the Edit 100

WOoo.... What DSLR you're getting ?

Easy to use too !!

QUESTION: How do you do burst shooting with the LX3 ??

aye aye sir ...

Happy 2009 !! XD
This camera is awesome So clever ... XD

That's 300 bucks under cheapest market price.

Do you think it's possible?

You know ... these cameras have their depreciation rate as well.
If you buy now ... 3 months later it's going to worth 1200 ...
But what have you done over the 3 months (or the extra RM 300 you spent)

1. You've learned how to take shots
2. You've enjoyed the camera ...
3. And etc
Worth the 300 bucks I think ...

Leaving that aside ... what you're more worried of is after 3 months you bought the LX3 at 1200 bucks. What happens is, a month later after you bought your camera, some better cameras popped up ...

THat's the last thing I want to happen to me

BTW Here's a question. How do I snap sharp pictures in low light?

All the pictures I have when cropped 100% would look blurred with noise even with ISO80.

However my cousin's NIKON shoots clear images even at night, EVEN with lower maximum aperture.

What's wrong ?

Why settle for second best?

Your hands can't be really steady when the shutter increases from 1.5 sec.

I mean, why do you wanna go 1 year back to get the LX2 that under performs the current LX3 ?
