Hi everyone,

I'm new to photography and a few of my friends introduced me to the LX3 as the best or at least one of the best compact semi-pros out there. I am based in Australia and I was wondering where would be the best place to purchase one of these babies in KL. A friend of mine is there until tomorrow.

I have read through the forums and have noticed that everyone is paying different prices for different packages, but the most common package is the camera, 4GB SDHC, and case from $1500-1600. The case also differs as well, some are hard and some are soft/polyester. Any advice is most welcome.

Cheers

any price in betwwen 1500 - 1600 is reasonable ....
buy n play lo tongue.gif

Got the same casing as tycheah_7 pictured below, a hard leather casing.



Question from a n00b here, which mode should I use if I want to control both the shutter speed and exposure? I'm trying to do the bokeh (blur) effect but it's not working. I know I have to set it at a small F number (large aperture), but it still captures everything behind the subject. How to focus on the subject?
*
Manual Mode allow u to control both
put ur lx3 near obj ( like wana do macro ) , ur backgorund will be blur den

Oh... If i'm not mistaken, some parameter(s) in that particular color scheme i.e. contrast, saturation, etc was tweaked, thats why it'll appear yellow.

Serious s**t!!! I encountered some PL filters that doesnt rotates (is it linear PL then?). Then i was thinking, its the DSLR's lens barrel that rotates (rite???) that why maybe they dont manufacture with a rotating ring to reduce cost. Now i only know i might be wrong, am i??? Yikes...
*
u mean LX3 auto adjust those settings ????
my PL filter did rotate...LOL

wat is PL filter?
and wat is it for?
sorry..might b a noob question
*
polarizing filter (PL) main function is to limit the reflection of non-metal surface
usually PL come wif UV filter as well ... to filter out haze ...some claim can make the sky to be more blue
of coz cheap PL/CircularPL and expensive PL/CPL have alot of difference in quality of pictures .......

if i m not mistaken...PL dun do much if ther is no Sunlight, correct me if i m wrong
examples tat i took (juz by rotating the PL) :

Oh... Nope. If you choose any "color theme" i.e. "Standard", "Dynamic", "Vibrant" etc... IF you maintain the profile as per default, the symbol should be white. IT you tweak any parameter in it i.e. "Saturation", "Sharpness", "NR", etc... Then it will turn yellow. You can try it out. At least mine does.

icic .... i will check it out

so looking for u guys advice..

i own a adapter, telelens and PL n UV filter , lens hood
i have the adapter and UV filter fixed ( i dun take them out ...since i m using lowepro 200aw bag )
most of the time juz the adapter + UV hmm.gif
under the sun .. i change to PL lo ( plan to get hoya pro1D ... hopefully can perform better )

telelens ... seldom use .... onli tried once in stadium or some scenery pic ( coz hav to maintain at 2.0x or 2.5x zoom )
