QUOTE(daruma @ Aug 14 2008, 09:09 AM) extra RM160 for the spare battt Spare batt (ori) normal price should be over RM180. normal price how much? LX3 batt can last 380 shots... maybe no need spare that much 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.  Added on August 14, 2008, 7:13 pm QUOTE(RoxyGal @ Aug 14 2008, 11:31 AM) u got ask for fz28 or not? No wor.which shop u went?

Check out the 1st LX3 review on the net. http://www.photographyblog.com/reviews_pan...mix_dmc_lx3.php 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  they do the test under bright lighting, sure high ISO will look better. if u go take in darknesss, u see all the noise. also need to feel how it hold in your hands. spec say 27mm thick , but does't look so slim to me -------------- how they do this test? 1/15th / 72mm i tot lx3 only 60mm ---------------------- ISO400 seems noisy http://img.photographyblog.com/reviews/pan..._dmc_lx3_24.jpg ---------------------- QUOTE 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. ------------------------------- The specification claims that the LX3 is 27.1mm deep, but this doesn't take the lens into account. The true depth is actually 45mm, This post has been edited by daruma: Aug 16 2008, 10:24 AM |

The true depth is actually 45mm, I saw that comment too. But thickness should not be a big issue for me. Anyway, felt like Panasonic was trying to cheat consumers Added on August 16, 2008, 4:26 pm QUOTE(daruma @ Aug 16 2008, 09:04 AM) can't trust reviews too much. last time see alpha 200 test ,look goods. but after using it. not as nice as been tested.

Another noisy one is "pan..._dmc_lx3_27.jpg", ISO 400 also. Generally, the LX3 performance seems to deteriorate at ISO-400. But ISO-80, 100 and 200 are superb with little to no noise. But again, unless u plan on getting anything bigger than 4R, ISO-400 noise is still not very noticeable. Even on my monitor screen, I had to look very hard to see any noise when using full screen.
