 Tradeoffs between LX2 and LX3 November 20, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I've owned the LX2 for a year and a half now and decided to try an LX3 to see if any of the LX2 shortcomings were remedied.
Long story to short,don't bother.
Yes the lens on the LX3 is slightly faster and goes a little wider and yes
the noise has been reduced a bit but in reality you will rarely notice the improvements in noise over the LX2.
Unfortunately none of it makes up for the big detraction from the new LX3 which
is the radically shortened Zoom range which I miss a lot.You just can't move in on a subject like you could with the LX2 and therefore must do it with software after you have taken the picture.Of course when you have to blow up and crop a photo is when the noise in the photo can become a more noticeable problem. The camera is also slightly larger than an LX2 and unfortunately Panasonic decided to continue with the very annoying lens cap design for lens protection.If they are going to make us use a lens cap why then would they make us buy a special adapter just to add a filter to the end of the lens.The lens sticks out anyway so let us screw a filter on it without adding even more length of an extra adapter barrel.
Another annoying carryover is if you decide to use the video recording
mode you still cannot zoom the lens while shooting video.And why are video clips limited to ten minutes when you use a multi-gigabyte card that could record for much longer ?
So I'm not finding the improvements to the LX3 and the continued glaring lack of other improvements all that useful in the real world.

Amazing little camera November 7, 2008

Had this camera for 2 days now and I'm amazed by it's set of manual exposure. I was deciding between the LX3 or Canon G10, but the wide lens on the LX3 really got my attention. Although this is not a DSLR, I expected less noise on high iso shots. Better than it's competitors though, including the G10
Spectacular little camera November 4, 2008

My Lumix LX3K just arrived and I took my first pictures this afternoon. Wow! I've never shot anything quite like it before. You obviously can't compare this camera to either my Canham with Schneider lens or my Mamiya 7II, but, it does come darn close to my Nikon D200. The lens is fabulous. Again, it can't compare to my father's 1953 Leica and Leitz lenses, but, for the price, I can't imagine a better point and shoot on the market.

This camera is a pleasure to use. Whether using manual settings or the automatic (ia) setting, the IQ is fantastic. My first Lumix was the FZ-10. It, too, produced amazing shots. Since then, I've had two other cameras in the Lumix lineup. I enjoy both of those, but they've never given me the excitement of the FZ-10. With the LX3, I've found that excitement all over again. The Leica Summicron lens give super sharp, beautifully saturated photos. In short, I love this camera!
