I recently got one of these (in black), and I concur – it’s a superb little camera. The iA mode is outstanding, too.

I replaced the previous “low light king,” the Fujifilm F31, with the LX3, and I’m not looking back. The “all auto” mode on the F31 jacked the ISO up to 800 way too easily, even with flash. The LX3′s “all auto” mode, Intelligent Auto, is actually very usable, and I leave the camera set to that mode when I put it away, so it’s ready for a fast shot if I need one. With flash shots, it usually sets ISO to 100 – very usable.

Mostly, I use it in Program mode at ISO 80, Nostalgic film mode, RAW+jpg, and I get wonderful results.

This is a great piece of, er, “kit,” as you lot across the pond say :-) (I’m in the US).

BTW, this camera is so deep that I usually pick up a nice tip from each review. In your review, I learned a bit about the “up arrow” button, and the bracketing menu it brings up. Thanks for that :-)

Thanks for an excellent review. Just one thing. The mode dial does include two Custom Modes, but C2 has 3 modes (C2-1 C2-2, C2-3)), so you actually have 4 custom modes available.

Thanks again for a fine review.

Regards,
