A200, f/5.6, 60mm , iso400 (LX3 could use iso100 with f/2.8 in this situation)
LX3 , f/2.8 , 60mm , iso400 (photoshop reduce noise, still retain more details than a200)
A200, f/5.6 , 60mm , iso1600
LX3 , f/2.8 , 60mm , iso400

LX3 can perform just as good A200 in low light, @ lower ISO and bigger apperture.

not to prove LX3 got better iso, but just show that it has big advantage in the big apperture that allows it to shoot @ lower ISO.

LX3 rox!!!!

Really? All I see is a super aggressive noise pre-filter.

The aperture helps, but not to the extent that it makes the *sensor* better.


p/s: If you're talking about the Alpha (I hope for god's sake not)... nice exclusion of a prime.

oh no you didn't!!

LX3 now how much the cheapest in market? rm1700?

RM1550 + 4gb SDHC from forumer here.

i prefer adjust shutter to tune lighting more than dof or iso setting

Hahahah.....Daruma trying to start a hot debate here huh??


Ok, i own a LX3.
The cam is great.
The f/2.0 is marvelous for low light.
A bigger aperture means u can opt for faster shutter speeds and lower ISO settings. Which is basically Daruma's point of this thread.

shutter adjust your head mer. slow shutter image will blur if subject moves.

hahaha....no need adjust head la.
Anyway, compared to the standard f/2.8, the f/2.0 will help reduce the shutter speed / ISO settings by 1~2 stops.
Which quite a lot actually

Wow, best price ever I seen .

BTW, thanks for the comparison between DSLR versus Compact Cams.

LX3 really good with f2 lens

wah! nice price, who selling LX3 with that price? wanna grab one for backup DC! pm me plzzzz~~~

vladmir lo

maybe can i ask... what should we worry about if we own LX3? anything bad about it? should have some cons right?

only bad thing is bigger size and the lens cap.
means u can't snap it out to shoot when driving etc
and it has short zoom. 2.5x only . 24-60mm
HD video recording limit to 10mins/2GB
vga video 22mins

but we still can add on some accessories right? like the lens thing....

no wor. only got wide angle converter. makes it wider. will cost a bomb also

wow the lx3 colour more nice
im an alpha user btw
