Sold: Panasonic DMC LX-3 camera

[jeSteR]

Our black prosumer point and shoot.

F2.0 lens means you pretty much never need the flash...

It's on Craigslist for $275.

$250 for you nerds.

[nature boy]

why are you getting rid of it already?

[jeSteR]

Something sparkly and new that Coleen likes better.

The new LX-5 encodes video in AVCHD. We decided not to by a camcorder and consolidate both devices into the point and shoot.

[nature boy]

like...?

[jeSteR]

Sorry... edited while you were posting... see above.

[nature boy]

lol, yeah the new canon s95 is exactly like our s90 except it shoots in hd. but we found that the lens on the s90 is nothing compared to our actual camcorder so we're just going to keep both.

[jeSteR]

Well... the LX3 already has HD recording but it's in .mov format so it actually captures less bit's. The biggest advantage of the LX5 is the ability to adjust framerate and aperature in video shooting mode. That'll make high speed shooting possible for cool slomotion videos.

[nature boy]

ah.
what are you using to edit the avchd files? all i have is imovie and it converts it to a mov anyway.

[Wetundies]

I'm sure adobe has a product can edit the files.

[nature boy]

i don't feel like spending a couple grand to edit movies that we probably won't watch ever again.

[jeSteR]

I use Adobe Premier Pro.
