LX3 Liitle Beauty, 2008-09-27
Purchased about 3 days ago and haved taken a couple hundred pics in different situations to decide if i would be happy with it,I,m very fussys and use Nikon Dslr s.
First the camera is very very attractive with very good build and def something to show off ,the screen LCD is nothing short of amazing when composing and viewing ,Im fairly dated that i like a Viewfinder but this makes me enjoy liveviewing far more then i thought.
Buttons and controls are very good would prefer the joystick to be a bit bigger tho,weight and size seem almost perfect esp compared to the Canon G9/G10.
The lens is amazing and so fast at the wide and even the tele end @ 2.8, indoor shots whithout flash are no problem , Zoom is smooth and quite and you can tele X 4.5 if you drop the res to 3 meg, personally i leave it at 5 meg and 3.6 zoom for everyday stuff, more then enough megs for most things, Flash is small but very bright and is well away from the lens so reducing redeye, there is a hot shoe but i have not yet seen a flashgun available maybe someone has and can let me know.
lasty image quality ! i can say that 80/100 iso the camera is stunning and colours are fantastic with exposure and white balance spot on, 200 iso is a bit grainy at 100% crop but i have set the noise reduction to the lowest setting ie -2 for detail, put the noise reduction back on and 400 iso is easily acceptable and 800 ok when your desperate, above that and don,t bother but plse bear in mind i,m a Dslr user so again being VERY fussy, also the colours remain nicely staurated at higher iso.
Dynamic range has really surprised me esp with the setting for shadow detail and highlight control set which comes in 3 settings ,very impressive and camera deals with highlights great without any flare or CA.
Wide angle in 16.9 mode is awesome and really opens up a different type of photography for people compared to most lens which tend to start at 35mm altho Nikon and Canon are catching on with there new released high end compacts at 28mm still not as good tho !
Camera has a clever focus tracking for moving objects and really works well and normal focusing is quite quick and copes with lowlight with no problems at all.
To conclude i highy recommend this camera and most people will love it,s build ,rangefinder looks , features and image quality .
Only slight reservation i had was the short zoom range but i guess that would be very hard to have as well as the very fast lens which is great at keeping the iso at 80 for almost everthing.
For that kind of thing i use the Nikon and most far away things tend to need a Dslr for speed anyway.
This LX3 is def a stayer at least untill Olympus release there Micro 4/3 s Compact in about a yr or so !?
Added 04/10/08
Have taken more pics to experiment with the ISO settings and have compared it to pics i still have on my PC when i had the FUJI F31FD.
having played around a bit more i can say the 100iso and 200 iso look identical and 400 iso is very good far better then any compact i,ve ever seen , compared the 800 iso between the Fuji and LX3 and they look about the same (very good 4 compact) BUT zoom in 100% and i can see that the Fuji has smeared all the detail away and looks pretty horrible but the LX3 has kept amazing detail and colour, It looks like the LX3 has broken all the rules for a compact which is amazing as Panasonic never had a great reputation for this but they were obviously on a mission when they came up with the new processer ,couple this iso performance with the fast lens and you def have the best compact for low light to date bar none and i think rivals a budget DSLR with a slow lens and no Stabalization.

GREAT VALUE TV, 2008-07-06
I bought this TV after studying lots of reviews on a wide variety of plasma and LCD TV'S. I was curious to compare the 2 technologys and went to comet and currys to view them. I quickly realised plasma was a more natural picture than LCD and left wanting to buy this model despite the shops model not displaying a very good picture. I trusted all the positive reviews I had read and I certainly didn't regret it. The picture quality is exceptional even on Freeview and DVD's are even better. I am looking forward to buying a PS3 to play blu-ray DVD's as playing games on it with an x-box360 is vastly superior to a non HD TV. Sound was also a pleasant surprise so I don't feel the need to go out and buy a surround system. All in all if you choose this model you will not be disappointed as the contrast and sharpness are superb and it makes you wonder how buying a more expensive TV could be justified.

Excellent product, 2008-12-29
I bought a Panasonic DMR-EX768 from Amazon a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, it wouldn't recognise any DVDs so I returned it. As usual Amazon's service was fantastic. I received a full refund (including p & p) within three days of returning the DMR-EX768. Judging by other reviews, I was just unlucky with the machine I received.

As I still wanted a HDD/DVD recorder, I decided to try the DMR-EX98VEB, which I bought from Crampton and Moore. I ordered it on Saturday 13 December 2008, and it was delivered on Wednesday 17 December (my only gripe is that Crampton and Moore emailed me to advise of delivery on 16 December, but it was delivered by TNT who said this was not the case).

The DMR-EX98VEB is a fabulous product. It copies between VHS/HDD/DVD. It accepts all types of recordable DVD. The DMR-EX98VEB also has a SD card slot, a USB port, and a DV In terminal for capturing video from a digital camcorder. There is also a 1 GB memory stick included, through which I can view DivX movies captured from my PC.

Copying between VHS/HDD/DVD could not be simpler. I have copied several VHS tapes to the HDD, edited out the bits I did not want to keep and transferred the recordings to DVD-RW. After finalising the DVD-RWs, I have been able to play the DVDs in my own Toshiba DVD player, the DVD player in an old Alba all-in-one portable TV/DVD player, and my sister's Sony DVD player. (Please note you cannot transfer from pre-recorded VHS tapes or DVDs). Since I have several dozen VHS tapes taking up masses of room, I'm looking forward to freeing up some much needed storage space by transferring pretty much everything to DVD. You can get the contents of one 4 hour VHS tape onto DVD using the LP mode, and the picture quality is good.

The DMR-EX98VEB only has a single Freeview tuner, but as it's hooked up to my HD Ready IDTV and Sky HD box, this is not a problem for me, but might be if you do not have satellite/cable and your TV only accepts analogue signals. The picture quality of pre-recorded DVDs is fantastic. I am very pleased with this product and recommend it to anyone looking for a single piece of kit with which to copy between DVD and VHS and who has around £350.00 to spare.

Panasonic 3x speed, 9.4GB, double sided 3 pack DVD-RAM Disc

Great disks once you have worked out how to get them out of the case, 2007-06-12
The disks do say they can be removed from the case as I needed to for my Panasonic player. The instructions are not very clear, a magnifying glass would help to see the little plugs you need to push out to release the disks!

The plugs are about 3mm (1/8") diameter. You can see the ends of the plugs looking on the main face of the cartridge, about 12 mm from one of the short edges with the orange plastic insert (the opposite side to the side with the spring loaded slidey grey plastic bit). You need to hold the disk near the edge of a flat surface and push the plugs quite hard with a ballpoint to shear them off and fall out the other side.

You then need to release one end of the orange plastic insert by deflecting the integral spring by pressing a ballpoint pen tip through the rectangular window just round one of the corners from one of the plugs as you pull on the insert. The orange plastic insert will then hinge out of the way.

This is a well made product which achieves it's purpose and provides excellent protection for the Panasonic Lumix camera. It also has a belt loop and the flap has a magnetic button for quick release, enabling access quickly to the camera.
