Well, i called a couple of shops and they dont seem to have LX3 in stock.
One crazy guy quoted me RM1,000.00 w/o card..can you believe it.
At 1st i thought he must have heard me wrong,NO he said,"i have sold a lot of
LX3".... icon_question.gif
I asked him 3 times and he quoted me the same price... rclxub.gif
So i asked him again,but he said "Now NO stock,give me your no. and
i will call u when stock come"..... shakehead.gif ...lol.
This shop is at Kota Raya and i spoke to an old guy...hehe.
Of course i dont believe it,as i knew he was pulling my leg,as he
knew the market condition for this camera.
He knew i would wait for his stock to arrive and then he is going
to hit me with a higher price.

See how this shopkeepers twist the facts... doh.gif .

Seriously i need the came,as i have sold my last piece of
DSLR equipment, the FLASH yesterday.
So i am CAMERALESS.....

Do keep me informed if any of you guys come across a new
LX3 (Black).

Thanks
Regards
Sher

I did some survey just now around Melaka.

Mahkota area:
1) Fot*kem - got silver only price is RM1799. Asked to give discount to match P@kard price, but saleman said no way they can match it. Package included 2gb + tripod + case.

2) fot*max - No stock

3) P@kard Digital Station: Price Rm1560 (2gb + case, no tripod). No stock. Need to order and wait around 3 days. Not sure can get black or not. Deposit RM200. But they said need to check HQ and call me back in 20 mins. But after 1 hrs+ still no call.

So i decided  to go to P@kard HQ near Jln Munshi Abdullah. Price RM1570 (2GB+case+tripod). Also need order and wait around 3 days. So, I put down RM200 deposit and request a black color 1. Shopkeeper said if got black she will take or else silver color. Need to cross my finger these few days and pray hard for a black color 1.  sweat.gif  sweat.gif  sweat.gif

I need to get the cam before next Thursday for my BKK trip..if not I going to get the only 1 in Fot*kem and bargain hard on it..lol  sweat.gif  sweat.gif  sweat.gif

Well, i asked around KL,and went hunting right from KLCC,Ampang Park,Ampang Point,
Wangsa Maju Carrefour, and finally Alpha Angle.
In Alpha Angle they had 2 units in Black..the asking price was RM1,600.00
with 4GB Sdcard,Pouch and nothing else.
I told the guy that other shops were selling for RM1,550.00 with extra accessories,but he said
that the best he could do.I offered RM1,570.00 and he said no,so i got a bit piss...off and told him
a few things and that even if he offered me RM1500.00 i would not buy from him, while waving my wallet towards
him.
I was waiting for him to say something,so i could really climb onto him,but he said nothing else.!..hehe.

Well i can wait,and i know the stock will be here on Monday or Tuesday,so i am just going to save my money
and get a better deal,when the market is flooded with Lx3 Blacks.
Then it will be a BUYERS market!... drool.gif

Well if anyone has any info on the RM1550.00 price range in Black,do let me know,so Sunday i could go there and grab one.

Thanks

I think you hardly can find a black color below than RM1600 on the market. I also paid RM1600 for mine. Got it on Thursday.

You are right.
I just called Foto Flash, alpha angle,they had 2 units yesterday.
But since he was selling me for rm1,600.00...i didnt buy.
Called just now and they have sold all their stock!.

No problem, will get mine when the market is flooded and nego kaw..kaw!..hehe.
I wanted it but not so badly and also my D80 deal didnt get through, as the Mad
Buyer was asking RM2,400.00 for used Body only rclxub.gif ..new is RM2,000.00 Body only.

Its okay,will wait .

Thanks anyways.
Cheers

Hi,
Trying removing the battery for 2-3min,insert battery and try again.
If the problems is still there, take it to the dealer straight away.
Cheers


Added on October 21, 2008, 1:41 amToday i went to Foto Flash to get the Lx3, and guess what, all stock GONE.
My mistake for giving away the info here,i guess people must have gone there and
grabbed the 2 last units....hehe.

So i called the photo shops and no one has stock in Black,maybe next week or end of the month,they
said.... icon_question.gif .

Cheers

Hi,
Just wanted to share this...
I Finally Got My LX3 in BLACK yesterday morning...last one in stock.
I called the guy on Monday night and made sure he sms-ed me on the stock,price
and reservation .
So far been busy with work and i am typing this, my battery is being charged at the same time.
The Funny thing is that, when i wanted to test the camera and i brought it up to my eye level and
i then realized that it was not a DSLR..hehe..

I was also intending to buy a used D70s with kit for RM1,300.00 in very good condition,but someone
beat me to it.
Well, next year i will certainly get the D90 as well,when the price drops a little.
Well will take a few pictures today and see what the Happiness is all about!.

Cheers

erm..the led light not bright enuff...and the room not dark enuff.....

u should always use bright aperture with less shutter speed....so the room looks dark...and the led light looks bright.

something like F2.8 or F3.3 with 10 seconds to 15 second shutter...at ISO 80..using SPot focusing ( not centre weight or multi) AWB is correct.

and also..on the lights and set the manual focus distance..normally at 3 metre or 5 metre...if not..lock the focus first...using the lock focus button on top

u buying LX3 thinking it is a small size DSLR?

mana boleh?

Well coming from a DSLR, these mana boleh things do happen... rclxub.gif ..hehe
Luckily there was no one looking...otherwise...
Well, i have to go back to standard One again..hehe.
I am sure i will need a lot of your Pros help in getting something out of
my Camera!.

YOu know these cameras are like hot cakes, eat them while they are hot..meaning
if you get one, dont bargain too much as when you want them later, they will be all gone!

I got it for RM1,600.00 with Silicon LCD protector, Lumix Bag,4GB Panasonic SD card,
Mini Tripod.
Of course they tried to sell me some other stuff, but i wasnt buying as i knew
their prices were crazy.
I can later on get a Class 6 8Gb SD card if i require it,so as not to put my Eggs in one basket!.. tongue.gif
Sometimes these shopkeepers will try all sort of tricks..
This chap tried to sell me some silly..no brand lens protector.
I told him bro, whats the point of getting this camera if i have to use this cheap stuff!.
BTW: still very busy with work and Golf at night..so hopefully might test it this weekend.

GREATTTT!! But me... hahahhaha i havent buy it yet.... waiting from PHOTO selangor at pertama complex.... heard they sell very cheap, even less than 1.5K!!! but the thing is, no stock lor, got to wait lor.....

I am sorry, but Selangor Photo will not sell you at this price, because i had asked
them before buying from other place.
Yes if the Camera alone without SD card, then yes..the price quoted to me was RM1,480.00.
But why would you buy a Camera w/o 4GB Panasonic class 4 SD card?.
Like i said in my earlier posting i was also quoted Rm1,000.00 w/o SD card..did i believe that supplier..NO. vmad.gif
No doubt if you wait for quite a long time you will be able to get it cheaper.. rclxub.gif

i'm Lumix FX8 user, currently looking to a better digicam. Saw LX-3 photo quality real impressive! i'm noob to photography but starts to love it. Between LX-3 & entry level DSLR, any recommedation? i like taking macro details but FX08 doesnt seem sharp enuf.

Do you want convenience or do you want to invest in a Dslr and Lenses.
If you feel the Lx3 suits you,like it suited me for the convenience, look no further.
Of course a Dslr is a Dslr...but you have to weigh the pro's and con's.
