Now, that makes more sense.

Of course, the D Lux 3 also allows the use of raw, which, when faced  
with an ISO 800 situation may be the better way to shoot. If I recall  
correctly, I very seldom used anything faster than ISO 200 in my  
point and shoot cameras during the film days. 400 with good OIS is  
perfectly fine for this sort sort of camera.

I took a few snapshots of the Flatiron mountains yesterday walking to  
lunch. The lens on the little D Lux 3 consistently amazes me with how  
good it is. Leica/Panasonic have made the decision to emphasize image  
parameters that result in a far more detailed image, to my eyes, than  
the much smoother - and yes slightly less noisy - look typically  
found in, say, Canon PS cameras. And even their DSLRs.

Still very happy with the D Lux 3, and the V Lux.

...Who wishes there were a 10+ MP (dust and magenta-tinge free)  
Digilux 3 available.
