got 3 types


cons for me is the lens cap. little bit troublesome have to remove and put it back.
60mm is abit short but doesn't bother me much.
deleting files in the camera is extremely slow . i think it's doing bit by bit deletion. which prevent data recovery 
Viewing files is abit slow also. i'm using Class 6 SDHC still slow. if u hold and press [next] button, the filenumber will skip, but the picture displayed not updated. it just skip through. 

my pouch.


i still haven't bought a screen protector. dunno where can get cheap and good one.
shop will normally sell very expensive 
should drop @ pudu Station.

LoL.....Daruma......about your SDHC Class 6 speed again.....
I am using Sandisk Class 2 SDHC and honestly speaking, I don't feel any lagginess during viewing and also deletion of files during my 1+ month use.
But probably the way u r using is different with what I am doing.

1st things 1st, viewing files.
My playback features were very smooth.
almost no loading times I must say. For the bigger file sizes of 10.1mp, it loads the photos with similar speeds as my old FX01. So no complaints here for me.

2ndly, I don't plug my LX3 directly into my PC using the provided USB cable (unless I accidentally record some photos onto the build-in memory  ).
Instead, I remove my SDHC card and plug it into my Apacer card reader.
Downloading one whole batch of around 50 photos took me "seconds" to complete using Adobe's Bridge CS3.
And deleting my photos from the card took me a fraction of the "seconds" it took to download them.
I am not sure what rig you are using, but maybe part of the reason it is slow is also due to your PC?

Not to bombard u or anything dude....but maybe u should check what is wrong with your card

Personal opinion on the cons of LX3:
1) Stupid zoom: a bit slow and 2.5x is pathetic but I rarely use more than 3x so it is still ok for me 
2) Lens cap was a bit of a whore at 1st and increases the thickness of the overall cam, but I've learned to live with it though
3) If size is an issue, LX3 is bigger than what I expected at 1st, but still much smaller than a DSRL 
4) The colors of the LCD tend to be a bit "warmer" than the real thing (Not an big problem bcoz the actual colors recorded in the photos are natural, just the LCD tends to display more vivid reds).

These are basically my complaints, but as you can see, most of them just needs some getting used to and you will be fine. Cons aside, think about the pros you will be getting. The Cons are basically dwarfed by the sheer greatness of the cam 

martin fields, invisible shield... dunno got model for LX3 edi or not.
