Hi,
Intersting camera this.
BTW..whats the going rate for this camera.

Have a DSLR but if its reasonable then might just
get one as well.

Whats the price and which shop has it for a reasonable price.

Tks

Thanks so much for the fast reply.
BTW... hows the camera and any regrets, if any!

Or any other suggestions for a compact camera.

Cheers

Tks, so much.

Well to get more info you could log on to Panasonic Malaysia, camera
division and compare them.

It depends what sort of camera and budget you have.
Some might have telephoto lenses while others have
more wider lenses with better F/stops for low light condition.

Really,it depends on what sort of Photography you want to capture
and where you stand with your Money..hehe.

Cheers

Yes, buying is not that much of a problem.
But i have to see if the telephoto end is more
important or the wider lenses with better f/stops.

Presently i am using a Nikon D50 with...
12-24mm Tokina f4 lens (great colours)
28-200mm Nikon G lens (very good lens)
50mm 1.8 Nikon Lens (cheap but good)
SB600 Nikon Flash

But you know what sometimes you wished you had a pocket camera,so that
you at times you dont need to lug all the above,which weighs a ton...hehe.

Will be traveling next month for a Month long vacation and sometimes i think a
compact camera with wide angle lens with better f/stops might do the job easily!.

Well have a month to think,maybe the price for Panasonic cameras will drop to a more
affordable level...

No you dont need to Crop, you just save it.
Cropping is another story.

Cheers

its a great camera
1st picture has lens distortion
Last pic ..too much of noise.

But photography is all about learning and it requires alot of
practice.

Cheers

I have to agree with you.
Fake batteries or battery can cause leakage, that will ruin your
expensive camera.
The price for the fake battery is probably less then RM10.00.
The salesman can say all he like, but with competition so great,
they may only profit from the Fake stuff that they sell.

The irony is that there will be people who will fall prey to these Vultures!..hehe

Dont have a LX3 yet, but am thinking of getting one soon.
Anyone regrets buying LX3?

Cheers

Hi,
All you guys and gals out there, i am impressed with your high praises for the LX3.
Having also gone through a couple of nightmares, i finally sold my Dslr camera and lens.
The problem was the fault of Jackel and Hyde personality in me.
One told me in the night not to sell and the other in the morning to sell.
So 10-15days of being indecisive, i finally let go of one of the personality and
SOLD.
Yes it was a big decision and if i had not taken it yesterday evening, i would have carried on and on.

Yes...i dont regret it now as i am typing and have a couple of other stuff to sell..but it should not be a problem.

Now..if you ladies and gentleman would come to my aid in a sense that i am looking to purchase this wonderful
camera...could you tell me :-

1). Where i could get the best price and with what accessories does this price come with...i mean the best deal.
2). Is there any good lcd protection , that doesnt peel off like the chepo ones.

My preference would be of course a Black one.

Anything else to buy with this camera...coming from a Dslr i hope you could enlighten me!..

Sorry about the story type writing .

Note: Anything to check while testing, like barrel distortion..etc..etc

I await your valuable input...
Phone numbers for the shops provided will be much appreciated

Thanks
From a Future Member..hehe
Regards
Sher

Well, you can say the poison has spread..

Well stop worrying and put 2 lcd screen protectors...
I mean till the ones that fit come out.

Well still have not got my LX3 yet....doing a bit more research.and after
that sometime next week.

Still have my wide angle,and other accessories to sell 1st.

Cheers

Looks good

So far so good, i have almost sold all my dslr equipment.
So how is the price going for the LX3..is it dropping.

Cheers

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

Cheers

I dont think you wil run into any problem.
But do a google and if other cameras can take pictures in smog,fog,
smoke ..etc. I am sure the LX3 can do the same.

Cheers

Hi,
See if this helps, altough i dont have one yet, i have read alot
about this LX3.

Source: DPreview Panasonic forum....
"'I have tried tweaking the Standard film mode, but I don't think I've ever gotten "even close." I've got my last C2 custom setting built with the untouched Standard, Dynamic, and Vibrant modes plugged into the Multi Film mode, with no white balance changes, and I'll just use those "for kicks" occasionally.

I've tried changing some of the other modes, to no real satisfaction, either -- like "turning down" Dynamic.

Nostalgic still seems to be the key to accurate color, and I've seen no reason to change away from the usual "two steps toward blue, one step toward magenta" white balance adjustments.

Mainly, the original Nostalgic settings of Contrast +2 and Saturation +1 does indeed produce "oversaturation" to some degree, often mostly seen in reds. Though, I find this to be =very= similar in color to my Canon Pro1, so I =like= this setting in many ways. I'm going to "keep" it.

But, bringing down the Contrast and Saturation can make for some more accurate colors -- by all means, try doing that. For instance, just go ahead and bring everything but Noise Reduction down to "0" -- and give that a shot. My results so far have been very interesting. Bottom line, I will load up my main "Custom" setting with a Multi Film mode that'll contain the Contrast +2 and Saturation +1 setting, plus one with them at "0," and one other -- and I'm not quite sure where I'll go with the last one. But that's "where I am" right now. :-)".

Just helping.
Cheers

Always use a blower 1st and then a special cloth specially for cameras.

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
