the Lumix LX 3

This is my current camera i bring about everywhere. But recently I felt I exhausted its use, or it bored me out with its functions or I am just being very paranoid about it being a digicam. Thus I wanted to list my loves and hates for this camera.

loves:

• compact but pack with punches.
• nice design and solid body.
• many modes and settings, like a DSLR
• build in flash
• can attach some attachments
• low light shooting
• most important: LEICA DC VARIO-SUMMICRON 24 mm wide f2.0 - 2.8

hates:

• color. Quite fake when you push the vibrancy or change its mode
• camera startup speed. The moment it start up and you focus on your subject, it may be a whopping 5 sec already
• capture speed. Okay, having a f2.0 maybe fast and reaction is one of the fastest among the digital point and shoot but still slow for me or I'm just being paranoid.
• white balance. Awfully disgusting.
• the intelligent mode can be stupid sometimes.
• 
  
• color.
• its not a micro 4/3rd system.
• not a DSLR
• it's still considered a digicam.
• not a leica.
• the bloody joystick.
• THE BLOODY JOYSTICK IS SLOW TOO! Manual focus is very slow and unhandy.

notes:

• I still love this camera mind you. It's out of battery currently so I did not bring it out this few days.
• I have been quite talkative and critical this few days.
• I will be back to shooting daily shots soon and maybe some weird stuff.
• I think the LX 5 is not a great deal from this camera. It shoot better videos only.

Disclaimer: this is not a factual specifications of the camera but it is based on my personal preference. Your experience with this or other models of the lumix LX or Leica D-LUX family maybe solely different from mine.

Missing or not...

Lickilicky would like to give you a suprise.

notes:

• It's been almost a week since I posted anything. Like as if I lost motivation to take pictures and stuff.
• Alright so here are the truth(excuses);

1. I still take pictures, however the images are still in my camera. I'm just lazy to upload them to the blog.
2. It was once a simple habit to upload photos everyday, but the idea of waiting to upload every 5 images at a time is just making life shorter.
3. It will be great if blogger has a better uploader, like the one Facebook has.
4. I currently carry a lumix lx3 digital camera. It is a great camera, AS a digital point and shoot camera.
5. There are still many short coming and I was wondering for reasons why I chose this over a micro 4/3 system. Maybe because it is small. I might cover this in another post?
6. At first I aspire to take great pictures like the ones I saw over the net. However it hit to me that the region is different. The outdoor lighting is very harsh and Singapore is a man-engineered and repetitive country(small too).
7. I have no courage to go up to people on the street and take picture. (My camera is too small to be impressive and the people are too fierce, I do not want to get injured or my camera to be damaged).
8. School is boring. Even being in a design course is still quite dull or just lack the awesomeness. I lack motivation.
9. I'm excuses prone. So when I procrastinate, the effect last around 3-7 days.
10. I hope to strive better in life than just doing this. I do now want to go "downhill" too fast...

• Very long and talkative post.
• The photos of the week before will be posted in a post soon.
