|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board The notorious Lumix LX3 Mike Greener, Photographer Fairfield | CA | USA | Posted: 3:59 AM on 05.04.09 ->> So for those who are familiar with the Panisonic Lumix LX3 point and shoot camera, does anybody have any idea why it is impossible to find for purchase online? I am curious if it is just because they can't keep up with demand or because they discontinued it and will soon come out with a newer model. Discuss.

No raw mode, no manual controls, much slower lens etc. Personally I'm really eager to check out the ZS3 though, 25-300mm in a body thats actually pocketable sounds quite nice. I tried a LX3 and while the IQ was quite good for a compact, being only 60mm on the long end felt quite limiting. Yes 24mm and the F2.0 was great but using in it a typical tourist fashion I really wanted more reach.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

They are in stock almost everywhere.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh? (0) | Off Topic (0) | Inappropriate (0) |   Definitions Add your comments...
