My Personal LX3 Photo Gallery

Finally organized some files and uploaded an LX3 photo gallery.  The gallery is made up of some of my favorite photos taken with the LX3.   There are about 30 images in the gallery.   Images are taken in over the course of the summer in varying conditions.   Hope you like it.  

Click Here to see the Gallery.  I also added the link to the right under LX3 Galleries.

Update on the LX3 firmware V2

It appears that Panasonic has now delayed the update of V2.0.   They are now stating that on October 20th they will offer up V2.1.   I'll post up here with the link after the 20th.

Panasonic Lumix LX3

The Panasonic LX3 introduced a wide (24mm) and bright (F2) lens to the small but serious camera world.  Panasonic took a calculated risk with this camera and focused on image quality and a unique feature set.   

Shown with Lensmate Adaptor, Hoya filter and a Canon wrist strap.  All purchased seperately and not included in LX3 Camera Kit.
