post picutre see see. i dun like my pouch either. scared it will scratch the lcd.
still dun have screen protector yet. shashiki one RM15 only, but postal RM10 edi

how is the pouch look like and where u buy?

The pouch is soft type, so hopefully the material won't scratch anything la.
Especially the LCD.
Bought this in Melaka's Pakard.

The best thing is the king of kings slides in comfortablely into the pouch.
And the pouch has a small compartment in front for keeping spare batts or memory cards.

i'm using this pouch also.

the surface outside is smoother than inside

I'm thinking of letting go my LX3, hmm anyone interested ?

so fast?

not satisfied ar?

maybe he "downgrade" to sony a200?

WAh the LX3 superiority..


and u use the WORD DOWNGRADE TO DSLR

wahahah yeah thinking of "downgrading" to dslr, just that i wanna try a few stuff seems that compact lens is too small for like those awesome bokeh shots.

still LX3 is really good i wouldnt let go if i had the money lar

which DSLR u getting?

looking at 1000d

good choice. buy a 50mm f/1.8 too.

I am not sure why u r not satisfied with LX3's bokeh la.
Bokeh depends on 3 very important things:
1) The aperture (a bigger aperture i.e. f/2.0 gives you more bokeh).
2) The focus area (where or which subject area u are focusing esp during auto focus)
3) A bigger zoom might help

You need loads of practice to get the right bokeh.
I have used a EOS 400D before, and believe me, it is not so easy even with a DSLR if you don't have the right concepts and settings.
Try to search online for bokeh tutorials.
One good way to practice bokeh is to use a long ruler.

My advice for you, to avoid disappointment when u really do swap for a DSLR....
is to borrow a DSLR from a fren for a few days and practice your bokeh with it.
You might not find it that easy if you have no idea what aperture, shutter, manual focus, etc does to your photos.

Share some of my better bokeh style photos with everyone.
Just to let you know how much bokeh you can get with the LX3 with what settings.



Aperture - f/4.0
Shutter - 1/800
ISO - 80
Focus - Auto



Aperture - f/2.6
Shutter - 1/20
ISO - 400
Focus - Auto



Aperture - f/2.0
Shutter - 1/30
ISO - 200
Focus - Manual


In case you do plan on letting go of your LX3, let me know the price.
Maybe I can help you to find a potential buyer

LX3 need get very close to subject to get bokeh effect.
if shoot portraits, can't do it.
DSLR with a prime no prob . canon 50mm f/1.8 < Rm300 mar.

Most of my knowledge of basic photography is from here from what i've experience with my friend's nikon f70 (none of them own a dslr this is closest ) it was easier to get a shallow dof, have to get really near to my subject on the LX3 to get besides slr way can swap lens later even tho prices are like 1 to 5k

nah here's the link to my 19 days old baby http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=796390

i don't deny the lx3 is one of the best camera i've used

Cheers my man~!
If that is what you want, then go ahead.
I was torn between buying a DSLR and the LX3 before.
Almost settled for the 1000D or Oly E420.
But the LX3 edged them out due to its smaller size and HD video functions.

heh the initial range of comparisons on which i finally decided to pick the LX3 due to its superiority was all compacts, haha LX3 memang king need to compare with DSLR! muahahahha i will play as much as possible with this baby dulu this few days

but switching to DSLR means you'll pns lesser

I guess somethings i just have to experience it myself, the woes of dslr shooters on having to lug so much stuff around also cause the lx3 isn't very pocketable to begin with, usually i put it in my sling bag, so a dslr might not be much of an issue with bringing it around, just maybe stand out a bit more
