LX5 - Availability in Singapore & elsewhere

[moaid28]

was at holland v last weekend. "Paris" claim to be selling LX5 on 10 sep. price TBD. might want to check with that "silk" shop for those eager to purchase. good luck! looking forward to LX5 owners!

it seems to be lower than suggested retail price. which is good
hopefully the package deal is as good.

i have went to check warranty coverage online.
courts seems to be the best (compare with harvey norman & challenger) for extended warranty coverage

any good extended warranty cover by others?

Heard from realiable source (photographic shop) that this afternoon Panasonic had a dealers preview of the LX5 and the camera should be in the S'pore market soon.

I used a class 4 Kingston 8GB SDHC card with my LX3, never had any problem with video taking.

The LX5 will be available locally tomorrow. Both black and white versions are available but stocks of the white sets would be quite limited.
According to my regular dealer, his price (inclusive of GST) would be less than $700.
Rush down to grab your sets for those who have been waiting until neck long long. I won't be getting myself as I was badly disappointed with the image quality of the LX3 / DLux 4 and don't expect the LX5 to be any better.

I just got the LX-5 in white from Lucky Store in Holland V. I paid $699 and got a 8GB SD Card and panasonic camera case. Think they have limited sets only. Call Nick @ 9029-8383 if you want yours today.

Saw TK Foto's facebook page has LX5 already. Not sure how much it cost though.
