LX3?

Or rather, Fuji should just develop their PnS to come with full control functionality. I'm using a f100fd, and it's ISO capabilities are second to none within the PnS range.

I've been following the LX3 since it's announced. Now waiting for pricing.
If you wan to compare to Fuji, then must also consider that the lens aperture...2.0 vs 3.3 and 2.8 vs 5.1. Of course the long end is different FL. It might mitigate the ISO disadvantage of the 2 brands.
For me, this is one of those that are on top of my WTB list.

I am still using a Fuji F11. Well it is the fujion lens which is just not as sharp as the Lecia lens.
Erm, that why i said good len not so good sensor. Good sensor not so good lens. Fuji loses out on the not so good lens, which Panasonic lose out on the not so good noise control. I was once a Panasonic Zoom Zoom Zoom user.
But i am still quite tempted by LX3. Have to see real samples for the production unit. Price wise hopefully it is at the 800++ range and below.

ISO 200 seems optimal for it. But ISO800 seems usable leh, juz need some noise reduction treatment :think:
CA seems ok too. Slight barrel in WA.
For me it's only the weight, size and fun factor. This cam still can't beat my 10D in the IQ department. And the leather casing is just sooo retro cool. :lovegrin:
My only gripe is that have to remove the optical VF when you want to case the cam in the casing.
*edit* 1 thing still pending...AF speed. This is going to me my street-shooting cam..so the AF have to be responsive and lock on fast before subject is aware and the candid moment is lost.

You have yet to be stunned by Super Fujinon EBC lenses!;p
seriously i think it's okay enough what. LX2 has been serving a lot of my needs. mostly giving me nice shots and all - just wish that there'd be slightly more flash controls coz it tends to overexpose flash shots.
noise is not really an issue la.. unless you're really blowing it really huge.

Visit one of the Best Denski outlet last night, they said that LX3 will be available on August 19.

any idea when m43 is coming?
Truth be told, m4/3 really really went under my radar - but I believe we should see a soft launch by year's end, and the big shebang at PMA (Feb).
Of course, PannyOly can really shock and awe us by dropping a working body on us by Photokina. Unlikely though.

I would luv a mini E3 wif super fast lens. Lets hope Oly can deliver.
IIRC using LV all the time causes overheating issue on large CMOS sensor, hope that they have resolve it too else a lot of noise would be introduced to the pic. Cam's NR must be super good and have real-time NR too.
Batt life would be me focus too.

Looks good.
But there are artifacts at the upper right, not sure if it's in-cam processing/JPEG compression or your LR processing.
Can you post an unprocessed shot of the ISO800 pic as reference. TIA.
