Panasonic DMC-LX3

The DMC-LX3 represents a comprehensive search for the true essence and value of a camera. Its design pays tribute to the classic camera form, but adds a wealth of operating features and a deluxe metallic finish to reach the ultimate in refinement. As seen in its high-performance 24-60mm f/2.0-2.8 LEICA DC VARIO-SUMMICRON lens, every detail reflects the LUMIX insistence on uncompromising quality. This is a camera that anybody would be happy to operate and shoot, and proud to own.

Available in black or silver.*

Let's hope it performs better than the LX2.

The Venus engine wasn't very good with the LX2 . . .

Sure does. Especially with that external viewfinder.

Rangefinder wannabe, anyone?

[unpro]

I'd buy it for solely the looks only.. if only i had the $$$. lol. :D

My friend already pre-ordered one in US. Looks great with very fast lens. But still not the fastest ever made for P&S. :p

Ouch. The LX2 was only like RM1.6k.

I'd rather get the Ricoh GRD2 then. At least the noise looks like film grain esp when you convert it to b/w.
