General Comments
Really wanted this camera to excel. It flopped. Kept it 2 months and sold it, losing £60. At ISO 80 the image quality was very good indeed. At ISO400 it was totally unacceptable and unusable. Why, oh Why, oh Why do they persist in cramming more and more pixels into a small sensor ? Panasonic have got the right idea - I've been waiting some weeks now to find an LX3 in stock, and when I do, it's mine.
