LX3 will use the 6th generation Super ccd by foojee coupled with Venus IV engine with NR off option. :bsmilie: ...think it's possible?????????????tao said:LX3? 12MP with Venus IV engine for poster colour effect? :bsmilie:
While you folks are waiting, I am having a great time with my LX1.
zag said:just called Parisilk at Holland V again . LX2 with 512MB and case = S$657 w/GST (20 pieces in stock) ($690 with GST)
Then i called AP at SLS again and was quoted still at $655 w/o GST with 1GB SD card. no casing they said. This promotion is from Panasonic singapore and supposedly there is redemption booth set up at SLS!? according to AP sales chap.
I am getting parisilk to verify the discrepancies in the promotion details with Panasonic sg.
anyone here know what is going on? i intend to get the LX2 today... Holland V is more convenient for access and parking as opposed to SLS.

i would say no... most camera rrp are set with consideration of rival already, even without those for cam, pana still got alot more rival model, so price will not be affacted by newly rival.Naga88 said:Ooh! what I mean is will the price of LX2 stop raising because canon is releasing the above 4 camera.
Wolfgang said:I just called then they quoted me 648 without GST... :sweat:![]()
So all i do is add 5%, yes?![]()
ExplorerZ said:so price will not be affacted by newly rival.(not counting in promotions)
unlikely u can get interest-free cc installment for a cash/net quotation price...likely to be 3-5% premium for cc payment.Wolfgang said:Another friend of mine wants to get it too. You reckon there is any chance they offer interest free credit card installments? hehehe.. my friends is quite keen... :think:
from that price, i don think it is priced by panasony... the price should be solely quoted by p'sik theselveszag said:ok just picked up the LX-2 for P'sik HV.. the price just gets better by the hour (read scarily unstable - could be lower next week who knows what Panasonic marketing sales is thinking) on the spot S$638 before GST with 1GB Kingston (worth $30!?) i went for Sandisk Ultra II 2GB with $85 top up. Heck.. since i am going to shoot raw most the time might as well.
will be out shooting "light" (as in weight) this weekend..hehehe!

Then saw the LX2 pretty nice with the new 16:9 LCD screen. Price also good and comes with Kingston 1GB SD card.
So picked up the black colour cam home....
