LX2 is crap. There's only 2 camera that can use:
a) Panasonic LX3
b) All Fuji F-series

If you buy LX2, you can throw into rubbish bin after receive.
That's how bad is LX2.

Just bought a Ricoh LC1 from Yamiya, but it turns out to be an ordinary cap just like my LX3 lens cover, crap, what can i do to get the correct item? I already emailed Yamiya.com about this, i am not wasting RM50 on this piece of crap that is useless to me




Attached thumbnail(s)

Seems like Yamiya conned you...

Their reputation down the drain ...

LX-3 is da succesor for LX-2...a lot of things had been improved..lens etc...
so y don top up abit and get lx-3??u wont regret to get LX-3..

I hope they do something about this

Their reputation i don't give a damn, i just wanna make sure i get the correct item as advertised

What do you aspect from the LC1 lens cap before you bought it? I am happy with it after I got it, the previous original lens cap just kept me annoying when I need to snap a picture and take off the lens cap every time.

Mate, he got a lens cap that wouldn't open ...
It's nowhere different than the original LUMIX lens cap
Look carefully.

Haha...let's see what he reply after he install it.

...
you really dont get it, dont you?

oh...haha...sorry. I didn't look at the picture properly. I got mine with yamiya and it fine with fast delivery too.

HA HA HA HA HA HA !! That was really funny

come on la. Everyone talking about the issue and you still blur blur....

On the technical side, these are the main differences I know of:
i) Larger sensor
ii) Faster Leica lens (f/2.0)
iii)Venus Engine IV
iv)Shorter zoom



A few things come into my mind when dealing with photo sharpness.
i) ISO (smaller better, e.g. ISO-80)
ii) Aperture (smaller better, e.g. f/8.0)
iii) Lens (Leica is a very good lens)
iv) Handshake (depends on individual)
v) Camera processing (can be set in camera settings)

The reason why ur fren's Nikon is sharper might also be due to another factor.
Pixels.
Do remember that the LX3 is a 10Mpixel cam.
If u compare it with a 12 or 14Mpixel cam, the 100% zoom is different.

All the geng sifus please correct me if I am wrong~!

Let me correct you then. Nikon post process is good. Panasonic might cannibalize your
picture

Anyway , the comparison between two camera must have the same condition. I doubt
the Panasonic and the Nikon camera is anywhere same condition when the picture is
taken....

i) SET
ii) SET
iii) SET
iV) SET (On a solid rock that doesnt move)
V) Can explain abit? n00b here

The Nikon my cousin is using is quite old ... 8MP only.

What do you mean same condition?

erm, same condition means at the same place/time/etc. Everything same.

Anyway, if 8MP, probably your lens and Nikon lens resolution is same.
But since Nikon 8MP and Panasonic 10MP, so:
Sharpness at 100% = lens resolution/CCD resolution
If lens resolution is equal, with increase CCD resolution, sharpness at 100%
will be bad for Panasonic.

Oh LOL I'm lost. Any guide you recommend me to read online /

Noob shot...

actually picture sharpness also depends on your lens. So when Panasonic
lens and Nikon lens same sharpness, when you see at 100%, your Panasonic
photo will be larger. Sure its less sharp right?

Or look at this way. You have 1 same photo. One is enlarge 80%. One is enlarge
100%. Which one is more sharp?

The thing is, even your lens have different sharpness at difference zoom and
aperture. So its very hard to compare.
