truly say this is the digital camera to own if you want compact and quality
combined in one package. I previously owned a Nikon D90 and shot mostly
with a AF Nikkor 50mm F/1.8D lens. The sharpness and quality of this setup
was unbelievable and I wanted a smaller camera with image quality of the D90
in a compact size camera, not sure how switch to anything else, specially a compact
size camera and still be able to achieve such quality photos that the I was shooting
with my D90 and 50mm prime lens setup. After researching the Internet for a few
weeks I made the decision to go with the LX-3 camera. The glass on the LX-3
is a Leica 24mm F/2.0 lens with 2.5X zoom incredible sharpness and low light
shooting ability. The sensor on the camera is not as large as the D90 it's 1/1.7"
8x6mm sensor is still larger then most compact digital cameras similar in size.
The sensor on the LX-3 produces an incredibly high resolution 10.1 MP Image
very capable of achieving results close to a DSLR camera. What I love most about
the LX-3 is the manual settings available and Raw shooting capabilities. When
I switched from my D90 to the LX-3 there was not much to miss. I had most
of the manual settings that the D90 provided me with as well as the ability to
shoot in Raw format given me incredible editing capabilities and control over
my images. The macro shots are astonishing and look like what you would
get from a special Macro lens and a DSLR camera. The zoom capability are
limited and changing lenses is not possible but this is to be expected from a
digital compact camera. here are some macro shots and photo samples that
I shot using the LX-3. here is some more technical specifications on the LX-3.
The LX-3 is truly a charm to own and shoot pictures with. I would highly
recommend this camera to anyone looking for a compact sized digital camera
to replace an over sized DSLR or as a backup to their existing camera outfit.
