Yet another LX3 review - Luminous Landscape


Rocky, originally uploaded by jiihaa.

Luminous Landscape published a review of Panasonic LX3 titled Very Wide – Very Fast – Very Nice, which was so nice that I can't help putting two quotes here:

"But full manual control of exposure as well as focusing is available, and like just about everything else on this Panasonic it's well conceived and presented. Unlike with some cameras, one gets the sense that real photographers had input into the camera's design, rather than a committee of engineers and marketing people. [...]

"This camera's combination of high build quality, a terrific lens, wide angle coverage, a wide aperture second to none, and extensive and easy to use manual controls, makes it quite appealing to the serious photographer looking for a pocket camera."

The reviewer was using the LX3 in the same way as I - aperture priority and manual focusing using the focus button when needed. However, he was shooting in RAW whereas I have been happy to work with jpeg. Perhaps I should try Silkypix once again, if only to check out the exposure control in RAW and perhaps HDR type shooting with the LX3.

The photo here was taken a week ago when there were more autumn colors on trees and less on the ground.

Here is once again an updated list of Panasonic LX3 reviews:

Looks like you got spammed! :-) You've been doing a fine job of reviewing this camera through your daily posts and real-life usage. These, I find, are much more valuable than lab tests.

First spam (I think) on this blog. Thanks for the feedback!
