Is it worth to still get a LX3

[Lx3ChuA]

The answer from mi is why not... Can other PnS give u this? (Together with Raynox 202)

Managed to keep it clean at ISO80 though I forgot to bring along a tripod. Satisfying :thumbsup:

I am not surprised.
I think if you take the figures back from Sept 2008 to Sept 2009,
it may be the best selling camera of the year.:thumbsup:

I was at marina barrage with my LX3 and tried shooting the fountains + Singapore flyer.
I am quite interested in knowing which settings to use for next time I go there at night because my shots are not as clean as yours!! (tried manual with aperture ranging from 2.0 to 4.5 and various shutter speeds. iso between 80 to 400)

IIRC, both the fountain shots were done with ISO80, only the flyer with ISO200.

How noisy is yours? Actually mine also a bit noisy even at ISO80 when I blew it up. But at 600px view, it's acceptable as you can see up there.

I have got some "noise" on the sky area (see below) with ISO80.

I just got a lx3 and was informed that the warranty is international. So you can buy it without any worries.

hello,
very nice shot!

did you use a tripod for this one? any idea of the aperture / shutter speed please?
really like it !

 

[halik]

does the LX3 come bundled with the original leather case now? cause i read in the other thread that some people got the bundle with leather case at $720 which seems quite cheap.

Exposure: 50
Aperture: f/8.0
Focal Length: 5.4 mm
ISO Speed: 80

Huh? You used 50 seconds for this? The Barrage shots from me were not more than 10 seconds though... Perhaps that's the reason yours is far noisier than mine.

normally, night shots, aperture always at the biggest at f2.0.
