Why I fell in love with Panasonic Lumix Lx3

In terms of photography, I'm a newbie. However, I have this great deal of appreciation for nice photography shots. Nowadays, many people are so inclined with photography class which I'm planning myself to enroll some other days.

To start of, last December 2010 I got this gift box from my boyfriend. To cut long story short how I jumped in happiness when I finally seen my present. It was the Panasonic Lumix LX3, I've been yearning for!

The reason why I fell in love with DMC-Lx3 is because of this picture taken at Pasig river...

This picture was taken by Sherman Liberato whom I consider pro in the field of photography. He was explaining about camera settings, long exposure to achieve scenic picture like this.

DMC LX3 is under the digital still cameras an alternative for DSLR photography  enthusiast. The one thing I love about Lx3 is the ease of use. You don't have to be pro to achieve the shot you want. Apart from being handy compared to bulky and heavy DSLRS, LX3 is very versatile in terms of functions. The program dial gives you different options plus built-in scene modes such as food, sports, portrait, landscape etc. tec.

Here's a sample of a food mode which I have taken few months ago...

Why I Fell in love with Panasonic Lumix LX3

Like any aspiring photographers and the urge to be “in", I was saving a portion of my penny to buy a DSLR. Well anyways, photography is indeed an expensive hobby. Looking for an alternative someone suggested me to try compact digital still camera instead of buying bulky DSLR.

Other Compact Digital Still Cameras those of Panasonic are sleek and has the ease of use. You can play with it by manually and automatically setting it’s exposure, ISO, white balance etc. Well, it’s more handy compared with DSLR.

That was the time when I saw this photo taken by Sherman Liberato using Lumix LX3.

Guess what, this is “Ilog Pasig" during night time. The moment I saw this I told myself I would definitely buy that camera. 

Luckily, I got Lumix LX3 Christmas present from my ever loving supporting boyfriend. Right now I’m tinkering my LX3 and hopefully, will produce this kind of masterpiece.

Anyway, I still have high hopes of buying DSLR not for me but for my boyfriend. I’m targeting it for his birthday.
