Hi LX3 fans..
I am planning to buy one LX-3 due to my trip.

The country that i am visiting is snowing...
Does it going to affect the camera in any way?

No, but of course taking pictures of the snow itself is a problem.. smile.gif
It wont affect your photos.
Seen a lot of people buying this camera at USA,England.etc..no one has complained.

Cheers

Not sure how the LX3 will perform at extreme temperatures.
But my Lumix FX01 did withstand the extreme cold temperatures of more than -10 degrees at 3500 meters above sea level without even a single hiccup.
Guess the LX3 can do the same.
But I think the performance might vary from each camera depending on luck.

Just keep in mind a few things.

1. Cold temp affects battery life. This is normal. I experience this every time I climb Mount Kinabalu.

2. White balance in places like ski resort (mostly white) can be tricky. Not so much in the cities where there are more colour variations. Experiment a bit with a few shots so you know what to expect.

3. Condensation that forms as you go in and out of cold and warm places can be bad on the camera, esp lenses. Just like what happens to your glasses as you walk out of aircon'd room. I didn't have much problem with this in the UK a couple of weeks ago, but it is something to be aware of.

There are a lot of resources out there about these points - Google is your friend smile.gif

Whatever you do, get the best price and also plse do
check for lens distortion as these cameras vary by sample.
Trying taking pictures and ask for the pictures to be uploaded to
a computer screen,and see if it shows any distortion and lack of sharpness!.

Hope this helps.

BTW: its a great camera.

Cheers

I finally got my LX3 (black colour). I think the market is out of stock for black colour. I went to Sg.Wang, Low Yat, BB Plaza, Time Squre and KL Plaza, all of them are out of stock. I was nearly give up at the time and thinking of look at somewhere else like Digital Mall or Mid Valley. Since I was there and why not to Pavilion and try my luck. Thanks God there is a LX3(black colour) waiting for me at Pavilion. 

I got it for RM1600. It's including Panasonic SDHC 4GB memory and a Lumix Pouch. Additional RM15 for screen protector. Plus free me a Sony mini pouch which is bigger than the Lumix pouch they gave me. (Since is free, who cares is Sony or not) hehe...

I told the supervisor that I got some friends are interested LX3 black colour too. So, if anyone here can't find it at any place maybe you can try to call them before you go. Sorry, the unit I bought is the last one according to them. I believe they will top up the stock soon.

Here's the contact
Lot 1.32.00, Level 1, Pavilion
Tel:03-2142 6486

I'll post the pouch/case they gave me later. Cause the battery is charging now. hehe...

Thanks for the info. i was thinking of going to Pavillion today to buy the camera but unfortunately..time not permitted...
Anyway, is the price same for silver color LX3 in the shop you mentioned?

I think if you looking for silver colour is better you buy at Sg.Wang or BB Plaza. They should be offer better package there. I didn't ask for silver colour price at the place I bought. Yes, I paid cash.
Yo Bro. Have been to the shop you mentioned at Pavilion (The one which beside Maxis). The RRP is RM 1799.
They offered me RM 1750 (if pay by cash). Include SDHC 4GB and case. Black color and Silver color is same price.
How did u get RM 1600 anyway?

Are you sure you went to the correct shop? I can't remember is there a Maxis shop beside. The shop it's called Pixels Sdn. Bhd. I went in and while they checking the price I told them Sg.Wang is offering RM1550 but silver colour. You can look for Logy(Supervisor) and tell him a guy who bought a black colour at RM1600 introduce you to come. If you want maybe I could help you to call them.

Ops..so sorry I key in the number wrongly.

Tel:03-2141 6486

You can easily get below than RM1600 for silver color. Just shop around within Sg Wang, Low Yat, BB plaza who gives the best package and service. Faster go get one! I already slept with my LX3 for 2 days having it. haha...  biggrin.gif

package :
4GB SDHC tosihba,
screen protector (they gave me a big size one,then cut it accordingly to fit the sizeof the screen and nicely stick. Silicon),
Mini tripod
Lumix Case (but this one they still owe me, there is no stockeven they dig it from other floor. They offered me the Panasonic Camcoder and Canon Case, but i insist wan lumix case..so gonna wait)

And...i am too excited till i forgot to take the official receipt from them. After check back from the box , ionly found the warranty card (one i keep, another send to panasonic) with Bintang maju's chop. Sigh...tomolo go and take from them...but..actually does it matter ah? not sure..since i oledi got thier warranty card..Please advise me on this..

Then,as usual in the box (i saw they broke the virgin seal for me doh.gif ) inside include : TV output cable, USB, Charger, Battery, CD and Manual....

I am now charging the battery...hopefully got time to play with the king tomolo...

Anyhow,are u guys going to time square tomolo for the model shooting ? drool.gif drool.gif
