Second notes about a LX3

After receiving my LX3 yesterday, there unfortunately hasn't been much time to test it out. And today it once again started to rain, which mostly spoiled this evening for photography. But I'll try to pop out for a couple of shots at some point.

The LX3 has lots of features, so learning to use the camera will take time. (Of course, compared to what I'm used to - I have previously used a Canon Ixus 400 and a Minolta XG-1 SLR).

I'm especially interested to find out about exposure compensation, exposure lock and focus tracking, but don't currently how much idea how these features work in practice.

Some initial thoughts about photo quality... In good light the excellent lens produces impressive results. In less light there is noise but it seems rather nice in behaviour. However, low-light results are not good for pixel-peeping on a 24-inch display, and you will be disappointed if you expect DSLR-level results. (RAW + post-processing may produce slightly better results, however.)
