kns so tempting!!
but still gonna wait for Micro 3/4, it more near to slr.

Spare batt (ori) normal price should be over RM180.
I am thinking the same thing.
But I found a spare batt really useful with my old Lumix FX01.
Anyway, i took the one without the spare batt.

I don't think it will come out so soon.
Probably have to wait another year or so.
And you still don't know how it will perform.

I just booked my LX3 at Melaka.
Will get the cam next Monday/Tuesday.

Read a lot of previews and reviews on it already.
Check out the 1st LX3 review on the net.

I like what i see in the LX3.
Anyway, I need it soon, that's why no choice but to settle it fast 

My cam arriving this coming monday or tuesday 

Speaking of image quality, Panasonic have made some incredibly bold claims about the LX3, which unfortunately are a little off the mark. We found that the new 10 megapixel sensor does deliver better image quality than all other current Panasonic compacts (and much better than the LX2), but only marginally so, despite the physically bigger sensor and pixels. Once again noise is the main problem. I'd be happy to use ISO 100-400 for most photos, with ISO 800 reserved for low-light situations. ISO 100-400 isn't a particularly versatile range, but the usual excellent optical image stabilisation system means that the DMC-LX3 is still an adaptable camera, as you can take a photo at a faster ISO speed and therefore a slower shutter speed, and still get sharp results, without adversely affecting the battery life too much. The fastest speeds of 1600 and 3200 are only worth using for very small prints. Another issue that I noticed was over-saturation of reds and oranges, with mid-orange flowers in one picture taking on an almost red appearance, when using the Standard film mode setting in both JPEG and RAW mode. In all other aspects, the LX3 certainly delivers on its promise, with virtually no signs of chromatic aberrations, accurate white balance (you can even set the exact colour temperature in Kelvin), superb macro and low-light capabilities, and an effective pop-up flash.

Anyone please tell me should I get LX3 or get TZ5?

I guess the 2.5x zoom is basically useless.
hahahaha 

24 mm on 2.5 x zoom

28 mm can use 4 X zoom mah

2.0 aperture can zoom 2.5X only

2.8 can zoom 4 X lor

Not yet.
Tomorrow night only go take.
Tonite not free.
hahaha....

2.5x is something like 2 or 3 steps away only.
And basically i rarely use zoom also 

i forgot to add
it needs moar dynamic range too.

my fri yesterday bought it at lowyat there , RM1.6+ something ..
look like not bad o .

well, eventhough pana has increased the effective dynamic range of its sensor, but still, i shot pictures with the FX38 which looks almost similar to the LX3.

1650~

Motion pictures can be recorded continuously for up to 15 minutes. Also, continuous
recording exceeding 2 GB is not possible. (Example: [10m 30s] with [ ])
Remaining time for continuous recording is displayed on the screen.

lol ISO800
its a nightmare!


f2.4, 1/20, 8mm

even ISO200 has traces of noise in it

as expected la. Panasonic sensor and processing is one of the worst in low noise.
Pls give back the king throne to Fuji la.
