...cos you can always pick up a bargain. lol

Today i picked up a near new LX-3 with the box for $450AUD. they retail for around $680. why ? well...this was part of my conversation with the seller, who i will affectionately name LOSER...

Me: why are you selling it ?
Loser: i'm gonna upgrade to the LX-4
Me: i didn't know there was an LX-4 ?!?
Loser: Not yet, but it's coming out really soon and it's gonna be AWESOME !

who am i to argue with that logic ? lol

Well he probably didn't actually use it to take photographs and it was losing its showroom gloss.

Of course morons have a place in the world.Two of them got to be US President in the last 30 years.

You: why are you selling it ?
Loser: I’m looking for a sucker
Me: I’m a sucker
Loser: You’ve got yourself a bargain sucker

WOW someone is a bit of an idiot! Good buy, and great picture!

Enjoy the camera!

Give me a yell if he's got a D3x to sell since the D4x is soooo coming out in the next 2 months or so.

Either that or the seller has just fed you a BS line to cover he fact the camera's actually stolen.

Cant argue with logic....

I tried to get my wife one for Christmas but was unable to find one in Brisbane or the surrounding area all sold out with waiting lists at some places.. So it must be good.

cant wait for the LX4 it going to be awesome...

I do have one and it's really handy for 1280x720 video recording. It only produces MOV format so it's better to have a MAC I think. My PC has all sorts of trouble interpreting this format. I get sound sometimes only!

The lens is nice but has alot of distortion.

My main gripe is that the RAW format is not supported by lightroom!!!!! Well it is, but the resultant DNG files are 3 times the size! Apparently Panasonic forgot tell everyone that their lens had ALOT of distortion which needed to be corrected by Silkypix (secret formula) before showing us the processed image. They are unhappy for Adobe to have this algorithm.

So unfortunately I have had to resort to JPEGs from this camera so lightroom can see them at least. I don't want to use Silkypix as it's bad at batch processing. [also the interface sux]

$450 is an absolute steal as I had to pay $650 not long ago!! Nice bargain.

Also make sure you use your off camera flash with this. It syncs up to 1/2000 !!!
