LX3 - BLOG PREDICTIONS

Many readers have been asking questions about a future version of the LX3.
Few months ago, the LX3 blog predicted what now became the new GF1. Panasonic had the choice to design a new camera from scratch but they seemed to have used their main inspiration from the LX3. So wouldn't it be an aka LX4? On the other hand. It makes sens not to have followed the LX line as the GF1 integrates another technology. Big question is, will we see a future LX4 at all?

I think no. Time of "prosumer" is finished. LX3 - last hero. Sinse introduction of micro 4/3 all producer will divide cameras to 3 main branches: cheap point and shot cameras, 4/3 cameras and DSLRs. IMHO.

I hope that there will be an LX4! GF1 is too big too fit in my pocket. LX3 is way smaller than GF1.

i agree with federel here. its too big compared to the lx3. its totally slap bang in the middle between high-end point and shoot cameras and the DSLRs.

Well, according to me the main problem with this new GF1 is the price...

I read somewhere that the LX line will continue and the next camera will be released in 2010. The GF is not a new version of the LX3, but a new line altogether.

Well...good question ! The new GF1 is probably the new model of a new line...perhaps also a response to the Olympus Pen EP1. I hope that the LX line will continue and wish a good optical viewfinder...Serviteur

hye blog author. i just want to ask your oppinion. i am planning to buy LX3. is worth for money if i buy? i`m thinking carefully wether to buy it or not after i read your post. thanks.

it worth it :D

I also hope there is LX4. What I like to see is longer zoom range up to 120mm, better noise control and a more effective viewfinder

I don't need extra resolution.

My prediction is that there will indeed be a successor to the LX3 (LX5) in 2010. The real question is... Will any of us be able to find one in stock to purchase. Frankly, I find it hard to believe that Panasonic is still in business.
