I LOVE MY LUMIX LX-3, but it looks like Panasonic is upping the ante with a soon-to-appear Lumix LX5. “Coming in both black and white versions, the pro compact camera would build on the LX3 by getting a much more sensitive sensor that can now handle ISO 12,800 versus the earlier model’s ISO 3,200. The camera now has a much longer-ranged 24-90mm lens (versus 24-60mm) without sacrificing the bright f2.0 maximum aperture.” Sounds like it takes what I like about the LX3 and makes it moreso. Cool. I expect I’ll be ordering one soon. . . .
