Great Quality from Point and Shoot, Best So Far

Nov 14, 2008

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Great Image Quality, Good Feature Set, Easy to use from Beginer to ethusiast
Cons: Protruding Lens and the lack of built-in lens cover
Opinion:
Bought the LX3 over a week ago, all the black ones are gone so got the silver one, contrary to most reviews I think the silver one looks better as it looks more retro like the old cameras of yester-years, also since it is silver the printed words on the camera is less obvious giving it a more sleeker look and being less fussy in design. Anyway in terms of performance I am blown away by the quality even-though I have owned more than 30 different cameras to date. Love the F2.0 lens excellent for low light and indoor shots which I do more. The 24mm lens is great and gives lots of scope in indoor situations. The iA mode works very well and makes photography fun again without having to make many adjustments to get a good shot.
