I bought the LX3 Dec' 08 and it has been fantastic. It was a toss up between the LX3 and the Canon G10, but thanks to the reviews on TR, I picked the better camera. I didn't realise Panasonic had stopped making the LX3, can you still buy lenses/barrels/filters etc?

loving the spot the difference competition on the last page ;D
the colour seem a little icy on the lx3, when compared to the dx 4 (i refuse to say "deluxe") - is that normal, or just the settings where the lx3 has been used and calibrated a little more?
ilovethemonkeyhead - Both cameras are virtually new, having each taken only a few hundred shots. For the test shots both were set on aperture priority at f/5.6 and 100 ISO. The Leica's meter set a shutter speed of 1/125th, while the LX3 set 1/100th.
If you open both images in a photo editor and flick between them, the Leica does seem to have a slightly warmer tone, although that could just be down to variations in auto white balance. The file sizes are slightly different too, with the LX3 producing a slightly larger file.
There are at least four reasons to explain the premium price compared to the LX3. One: you'll get more for a Leica when you decide to re-sell your D-Lux4. Two: Leica has a reputation of offering much better (and longer) technical support compared to Panasonic. Three: the software that comes with the camera is better/more expensive. Four: You get 2 years of warranty (compared to 1 for the LX3).
