i'm an olympus e-500 user...i was thinking of getting the new 9-18 ultra wide lens but then i heard about this camera...from the reviews i personally think this is an awesome camera...24mm f2.0 MegaOIS...video recording...

i wanted to get it but i have one question...how fast is the autofocusing? and how does the manual focusing work?

just bought mine today...it's small, light...but wide, fast, fun and silent...i found this cool feature, convert video recording into 9 frame stills...kinda like lomo supersampler...

testing my lx-3 today...it's a fun camera for casual situation...but i don't think it's the kind of camera to take "gambar lawa"...i have my olympus e500 for that...because the noise is high (but better than any other prosumer compact), i don't like the color and AWB (that's why i plan to just shoot black & white only with this cam)...but i like the dynamic range, responsiveness, the features and the compactness...

can't wait to shoot pictures during thaipusam at batu caves with this camera...

will post more pics at my flickr www.flickr.com/photos/azmkun

thanks...i use adobe lightroom...great way to edit LX-3 RAW files...

no hdr...

i took RAW photos...just something called color grading@color correction...i did in lightroom...adjust HSL, add some vignette, play around with the tone curves...

what do you mean by distortion? the lens is rectilinear...the lines are staright at the edges unlike any other wide angle lens it doesn't have barrel distortion...
