It's funny how each new review of whatever keeps adding to all previous reviews of the same thing. I have yet to read a review that leaves me 100% satisfied. This is a good thing i suppose. There are so many twists and angles and point of views. For example, a phrase off Brenizer's review:    "Since the LX3 starts at ISO 80 and can easily sync with flashes at 1/2000th of a second, it's almost 20 times as effective as my $5,000 D3 at canceling out ambient light. I needed barely any light here -- a speedlight at 1/4th power -- to totally overcome mid-day sun, the kind of thing huge studio lights are generally made for"  Link
