Type of camera/lens/accesories :  Professional PnS
Budget: I have the models in mind, see below
Your Location:   KL
Preferable brand : Canon, Panasonic, Nikon
Type of photography u want to do :  N/A
Any specific models in mind? :  Canon G10, Panasonic LUMIX LX3, Nikon Coolpix P6000
Any specific features u want? :  Long story, see below.

I am a DSLR user currently using a Nikon D90.  I need a smaller camera to carry around and I'm looking at the Nikon Coolpix P6000 as I can use my SB-900 with it.

My dilemma now is that I've read a few reviews on the P6000 and most of the reviewers said that the P6000 is not as good as the G10 and the LX3.  If I get something other than the P6000, I won't be able to utilize my SB900 fully (sync only, correct me if wrong).

I know a lot of people are using the G10 and the LX3 in the forums but I'm not sure if any of you have experience with all three models.

I can get my hands on the LX3 and the G10 to test but I won't be able to get the P6000 via my sources.  Please don't ask me to test it myself at the camera shop as I need feedback from actual users and I think the camera shop will mind if I test the cameras there for a few hours and end up buying only one.

So I'm asking the good people here, do you guys have any personal experience with ALL THREE cameras? Is the P6000 as bad as what they said in the reviews?

1k . but i'm interested with lx3 . just that the zoom in is kinda dissapointing.

it's okay , i'll go try it out before i make my decision . thanks smile.gif

if u want LX3, forget about the zoom. if u want Zoom, then get the FZ series. LX3 is famous with its 24mm wide angles, F2.0 aperture and able to add lens smile.gif
if u bought LX3, u may get the adapter and add tele lens in future.

D-Lux's are around RM3k-Xk? I'm not sure. I heard the higher-end ones (M8) are around RM10k?  hmm.gif I have no idea as I've never researched rangefinder cameras before.

M8 is around RM36,000.... doh.gif sweat.gif
