yes there is, i read the exif data, flash is indeed fired. (must be the bright white light)

Hi people.
I'm like 98% sold on getting LX3 but I appreciate it if you guys can answer a few questions I have regarding cameras in general... I'm a noob and a wanabee you see...

1.  There is no way I can add more zoom to it yes? Since I won't be able to change its lens? (only DSLR cam can yes?)

2.  2.5x optical zoom "sounds" really pathetic when I see cameras out there with 10x instead... is this how you compare zoom? or is it related to the lens as well?  ie... I cannot compare zoom power directly between cameras without taking into account the lens?

3.  What are the recommended accessories for this camera? Is the included stuff with the camera sufficient?

4.  Can someone recommend a good shop for the above camera? Waranty is 1 year yes? Anyone shop offering more?

Thanks!  My only regret is not setting down my foot and get a camera BEFORE my melbourne trip... I spent the whole trip regretting my error... ah... WOE is me...  *cries*
Limsy the noob... obviously.
