LX3?

[Bridgerock]

Actually the wide angle is great. As to the 2.5x zoom, I guess you really have to get real close to your subject if you are taking potraits. But you can increase the zoom up to 4.5x (at the expense of no. of pixels) using the so called Extra Optical Zoom (EZ in short). Oh well, the pic quality is still good though just that the pixel rate is lower.

which is also called cropping..

 

[Bridgerock]

Yeah...But there are alot of discussion on this EZ function. Some say its like digital zoom, some say its in-cam cropping. Its up to the user if it is acceptable though.

Understand that this is LX3 thread. Just side track a bit. what do u guys think of FX38? 25mm is still pretty good but the zoom is definitely better i.e. 5X. It seems that there is not much discussion on this model. I do understand that LX3 besides the 24mm, it also has F2 which is a :thumbsup: point. anyone has experience in the FX38?

This is an excellent price if the case is the LX3 one, which costs almost 100 bucks.

Do note that there are 2 original cases for the LX3. The DMWD-CLX3 is a boxed-shaped case and is cheaper. The DMW-CLX3 is shaped like the camera, with a circular protrusion for the lens. It is probably about 3 times the price of the first case.

But even if it's only the first case that they are giving, its a good deal seeing that the previous price without case is already more than what you were quoted.

If you do get the camera and case, let us know which is the case that is being given at the $685 price.

[inxlee]

hi all, i cant seemed to find any information about under-water casing being built for this camera.

Is there such an existance for a underwater casing for this DMC-LX3? lumix original or 3rd parties like ikelite also can.
