Panasonic Lumix LX3

its here.. bought from hong kong (Thanks Aids!) I also ordered Sandisk Extreme 3 8g SDHC.

First impressions:

• classically designed camera. Rangefinder look. I love it!
• superb leica summicron lens, contrasty, fast and sharp
• too many features to play with
• 16:9 ratio is really awesome
• impressive ISO performance up to 400. ISO 800 decent
• hi-res LCD
• phenomenal HD video
• lotsa customizable features
• can be used for strobist. 580ex I and flashwaves RF trigger works!
• decent 1/2000s flash sync speed (with off shoe flash)
• 24mm wide angle lens!
• Quick controls (joystick & 4 way nav buttons)
• in-camera post production
• RAW file capaility

The LX3 is a serious point & shoot camera. It wont replace my DSLR’s but it will definitely be with me all the time.

Sheeny, shiny products!

Posted by tekgik under Commercial, Still, industrial, product

This week Im shooting shiny products, the most challenging product I ever photographed. I successfully eliminated the unwanted reflections and I also created some wanted shadows to put more life to the product. You really need to understand how the light bounces back (angle of incidence) to perfect this shot.
