panny dmc-lx3 around RM1700
leica d-lux 4 i dont know.. but should be around RM2000-3000+

well, physically, they're the same.. but im not sure whats inside of them..

@zeeker87 really nice pictures you have there!

1. you can add on infront of it. see example here.

2. even though its really short, the lens' aperture is really large! at f/2-2.8 =]

3. depends on you, maybe straps, covers etc etc...

4. not sure...

@prospeed_ballz: he posted to flickr =]

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

i hope that they add the fluorescent white balance option =] then this will be a good camera for me to get =O

for me, ill go with B. furthermore got UV function... i scared the stick on filter will effect the image quality...

isnt the max aperture is f/2.0? =p btw have u tried bumping up ur iso?

that's some awesome shots! btw, may i know how many pics u can take b4 ur battery runs out?

u can read more about HDR here:

the auto wb looks so off! which firmware u using? btw how much is that wb cap?

@daruma - i dont think it can, you can just hold it infront of the lens =p

i use tissue paper, haha! can point directly to the lights.

guys, i want to get this camera primarily for street photography, so i was wondering, is the focus FAST? i have another camera in mind, the Ricoh GRD2 and it has a SNAP focus mode, where u dont have to wait for autofocus and it takes almost instant.

does manual focus stays after i take a shop until i set it to auto?

thank you, i need to make a quick decision =p

well, it's better to be underexposed than overexposed =p underexposed the shadow and highlights can be adjusted whereas overexposed can't recover much from its blown highlights.

can post some pics showing underexposure?

i think the bright sky and the dark shadows made the camera confused o.o have you tried other metering options like spot metering?

don't worry about that shot as long as it doesn't overexpose, you can easily adjust it in photoshop or lightroom =].

@Ppsprov- ouch! sorry to hear that!

LX3 > LX2

LX3 is good for low light because of its lens and sensor =]
