nice pics bustak, but much prefer the look of the ones took with 450D. sharpness and selective focus is what i miss on these from lx3.
CMOS sensor and prime lenses = combination made in heaven.

bustak how many keepers do u have when u shoot with digital camera? i mean u try and shoot like with film, that trying to make every shot keeper, or u shoot like 300 pics a day and then select 15 u post here?

[bustak]

good question. I'm pretty sure my shooting ratio is much lower than it was a year ago.

I actually take less digital pictures, & do less post processing than before, but post more pictures than in the past.

So I'll say my percentage is 30%. The other 70% are OK, I just like the other 30% better.















^ these pictures are exactly 10% of the pictures I took that day/night. But I was more interested in shooting video, so I wasn't really inspired that night for stills.

I like no.6 the most, good shot.

[bustak]

^ thanks.

what does it say?

Great photo's again.

This thread has made me realise how mediocre the images from my Ixus are, I am converted! but the LX3 price in Holland? Over 500 Euros!!
I'm back in the UK in a few weeks and an LX3 is top of my list.

[bustak]

Holy cow! 500 euros! That's 24,000 b. I paid 14,000b in Malaysia.

It seems like the price is going up. I could of got one earlier this year for a little over 11,000 b.

it's a nice camera, but I wouldn't pay over 20,000b for it. I'd wait for the LX4 to come out.

[ItsRobsLife]

It's about £390 in the UK might get it cheaper but not much.
Certainly a worthwhile purchase though.

[bustak]

Panasonic has a strange following.

I bought a Panasonic PV-GS400 miniDV camera a few years back for around $800, a year later I sold it on eBay for almost $1,300.

[Bobcock]

Oops, the wireless in CR is so slow.......I only saw you ask for a translation, not the several posts afterwards

[bustak]

these BW look nice out of the LX3.
im in the market for small digital cam too but going to wait for Canon G11, looks like they finally realized less MP is better and its going to be 10mp cam with bigger sensor and much better low noise performance.

[bustak]

^ I like the Canon G series, except they're pretty big.

[bustak]

a few more pictures from a boxing stadium in CM

[sharon]

I like this one, you broke a rule real good.

[bustak]

^ thanks, I like that one too. Which rule did I break?

[bustak]

got a tattoo last week:


it's a dharma wheel.











this cat was sleeping [at] the temple/cemetary on Loi Kroh Road:
