LX2
After so many weeks of not checking the latest news on clubsnap, I clicked the last page of the "LX1 Rocks" thread page today and I couldn't believe my eyes that LX2 is out! The DMC-LX2 increases the pixel count to 10.2 million and adds a larger widescreen 2.8-inch LCD. Despite the increase in resolution Panasonic claims that noise has been significantly reduced (compared to the LX1) thanks to Venus III engine. Other new features include sensitivity up to ISO 3200 (though not at full resolution), Intelligent ISO Control (a mode that increases ISO if the camera detects subject motion) and a refined control interface.Actually I'm not excited about the increased number of megapixels or the higher sensitivity. You see, I've been wanting to get the LX1 but the noise levels (even at *low* ISO 100) in dim areas kept me off. The Lx1, imo, is a nice camera with 16:9 format, image stabilisation, wide with 28mm and can take pictures in RAW format but I don't think I can stand the noise.
There were rumours of an LX2 but no confirmation reports from Panasonic so my hopes that they will produce LX2 and resolve the noise issue eventually died. *drama sey gitu..haha* From my sis' panasonic fx9, I got a pretty good impression of their cameras. I'm glad that I waited for a while. But I'll wait for user reviews.
Lela would have been very happy that LX2 is out cos I wouldn't bother her with, "Nak beli yg maner satu eh? I can't decide lahh..."
