hi kev,

check out the 3.0x tele package instead....46mm thread...i've been looking around ebay too....not yet decided coz $$ no enough, wife is pregnant and milk powder gone up 10% hahaha....

i've checked with the seller, he confirmed the package can be used with LX3

3.0x tele, filters, etc....

I have Sony DSC-H3. I'm planning for a backup camera. I'm a noob in photography

Is this LX-3 a overkill for me?

Is LX-3 better than Sony DSC-H3 (put aside the optical zoom difference)?

I like auto mode all the way, is LX-3 auto mode good at indoor shooting?

SHOULD NOT USE GOOD TO DESCRIBE LX3, ITS GREAT

hehe.... i'm not a lx3 user.
but i sell cameras

Hi Guys, i just back from my honeymoon bangkok, too bad my LX3 are still with the Pana, i borrowed my friend's Sony T70 (like begging him) but the picture came out not like what i want, so sad that my main purpose of purchasing this camera was crash.


yeala, i don't know why they need to repair the lens, i already sent an email to enquiry la, hopefully they can waive it la,

I can preview 1 picture only, means when i press left or right, it is not moving,
Can't even manual focus

My mom said it so sure la, but i am sure also as my mom's friend tell the same thing also.
My last olympus also don't have any problem for 5 years even in raining condition. but i request for good photo, and semi-pro...... thats why we all purchase this.


22+Oct 23 2008, 05:35 PM-->if you planned that.... i will suggest you double think, or do something to protect the LX3.
i think even normal DSLR are not so sensitive.

It is not offending anyway, if you give me one more chance, i will buy the LX3 again, But the thread is to let people know how to fully use the camera and avoid something unlucky happen.... (thats me )

arr.. i have seen that before... posted in this forum too... quite reasonable le... didnt know it has 3.0x tele too...
crappiness... you make me wanna sell my current one and get that instead.. ahaaa

I"m very interested in LX3, FX38 or TZ215. saw them all at Harvey Norman's promo in Pyramid the other day.

the price for LX3 is RM1799 though. pricey?

I'll be buying my 1st camera ever. so advice's really appreciated.

I hooted this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=310095426363 The damage =Aus$ 37.99 (around RM85)
But it didnt come with len cap
Do U mind selling 1 of your lens cap to me?

eih... i noe LX3 is great n fun la.

but.... i personally feel that investments(by buying extra lens, caps n adapters) not tat worth it lo.
although i noe can get cheap from ebay.

but count count.... n see..
LX3 rm1600 + further investments in caps, lens, adapters = dslr price

investment in dslr lens cannot compare with this la.
not that i say cannot invest.
but i think shud keep it minimal.

i learn tis frm working at cam shops.
selling those lens, adapters, filters, etc......

Added on October 28, 2008, 10:58 pmanyway... 3838 a bit

is tat a tele lens? got wide angle?
how's the add on performing?? on the cam??

Right, it looks like a mini-dslr to me..
Do the filters degrade the quality of the photos?.
Cheers

it depends....
ther are different filters for different functions let say poloroid or UV filters n so on....

if u use poloroid during the nite... guess wat happens

practically, it shud enchance the quality of the pic n enchance the capability of the cam to take pics during different situations.

pros, correct me if im wrong.

Added on October 29, 2008, 3:32 amlol-ed. not a mini-dslr la.

its a classed as a compact camera but semi-pro functions
still... able to produce godlike pics comparable with dslr

haha... but dslr's size is bigger than lx3... which u can't buy...
and.. dslr lens investment.. i can't afford it... haa

it adds more fun to lx3, more effects... im lazy to edit it in photoshop...
and guess what, i got a new filter.... sepia/vintage filter.. im surprise that lx3 dont have it..! (even my se k750i has it.. haha)

and i hv tried the palarizer filter.. it's awesome! gonna post it tonight..




that's 3.0x tele and wide angle...

leica-ish pana..LOL
nice one btw.

i'm quite interested in this too

i checked on D-SLR-a's ebay page, he sells the same items in 3 different prices. US $18.10, US $10.08 and US $19.99(free shipping) haha

what's the price different between ori pana 52mm adaptor and that 46mm?

how much u get all these in total? plan to get filters, adaptor & lens cap.
I owned a silver lx3 and i don want to attach it with black accessories.. hahaha.. looks so weird

where to get all these in KL??

I'm stuck between this two
LX3 vs FZ28

Put aside Optical Zoom and The Size

Which is better in terms of Image quality and types of photo shots that can be done with it.

Getting headache choosing

LX3 wins alot ler.

bigger sensor in LX3, means lower noise.
and bigger apperture lets u shoot at lower ISO.
