You lar... shop so far away in Kajang. Really reluctant to go there la. Return journey to Kajang took more than 1hour le from Kepong.

Anyway, as I know, the speed of Pana SDHC is Class4 rite? Well, the Toshiba that I got is also a Class4 as well. Any difference in speed Im not sure but I dont really care too much about SD card speed. Maybe next time you can offer to COD in buyer place for extra fee of RM30 or so. Sure good business.

aiseh, you can PM for arrangement mah

like yesterday afternoon i COD-ed with Solde (finland bro) at Pacific Regency hotel, KL.

i do always COD with customers in puchong/pj/kl punya la...

toshiba SD spec is similar to panasonic but the product value is different lah bro.

Nvm, next time ba... hahaha.
I didnt know you got COD outside. I read about you from LX3 thread also. All mentioned COD with you in your shop. I ma thought you only COD in Kajang lor.

BTW, you got sell accessories? Kinda interested in CPL for LX3. You got pricing? Not sure got enough budget or not.

My initial finding:-

Really impressed with the IQ captured by this camera. When its using F2, it was able to lower to ISO much more compared to my T30 and yet are able to capture more details than the Sony. When I test the macro with my Edifier S2000 speaker which has a embossed Edifier word, again it was able to capture it, although not to the level I wish. However that being compared to the Sony which couldnt capture the wording at all. Still need to play around with the camera. MF is very hard to play with, AF is much easier. But the manual setting, really appreciate that it has such control and it will tell you the aperture + shutter speed combo will have the exposure at what value. One thing I find it hard to believe is how hard it takes to take a good macro pic.

Yeah, the camera is very smart to tell you if your shot is under exposure.

Damn.. so tempted to get a LX3 now.... My oldddd Ixus 750 pales by light years in comparison...

I do quite a bit of hiking, so need a rather light camera, cannot have all those humongous DSLRs... The LX3 looks tempting. Any alternative cameras the sifus here can recommend?

BTW, how large are the photos taken at 10MP with superfine JPEG (at maximum settings how many pics can fit in the 4GB SD Card?)? Also how's the battery life on this?

Ya, I live in Kepong.

Is there any vignetting when using the converter?

Not really sure on it. my camera sent for repair but meanwhile i oledi get the lens tube and UV filter (cheap one i guess, only RM 74.00 for UV filter and lens tube)
now waiting for panasonic to call me back only..almost 1 month oledi.. :-(

Either LX3 (which is not so pocketable) or the incoming Fuji F200EXR (more pocketable but lose in wide angle and aperture)

Can show the photo of the lens tube and UV filter?
Damn, this LX3 poison is really "kau"....buy camera already, now itchy to buy accessories...

I dare not buy those home made aluminium barrel with cheapo UV filter. Not sure the quality good or not. Saw them a lot on Ebay, mostly from HK de.

Anyway, how good is Panasonic CPL hor? I saw in some local estore that Hoya 52mm CPL just RM210 le. Panasonic one just 46mm but RM2xx. Damn pricy lor...

Hi friends , heard that Nikon has just increased the selling price of their product due to the Japanese Yen is getting stronger , and heard that Canon is going to join the step too soon . Do u think price of LX3 will increase too ?

currently lx3 still selling almost the same price as previous.

The home-made aluminium barrel is nothing much to worry about. The aluminium itself is much stronger to hold the accessory attached to it.

No matter how light aluminium is, its going to be heavier than the plastic version made by Panasonic. Better safe than sorry. Already bought RM1.6k camera but cant afford <RM100 adapter meh? The lense can get normal one, but adapter better use original one.

hey guys, can i know how many types of accesories like lens , for lx3 available ? and what's the use of them like the uv filter n etc? sorry im a noob in photography but very very into it now after getting this LX3. thanks

Check this, the original adapter is made of aluminium too.
