Yes, I have an LX3. And as much as LX3s cost (and as hard as it was to get one) there's no way I'm going to risk dropping it by trying to take photos one handed while riding! Maybe some folks can do that, but then, there are some folks who can ride 600km rides in the mountains and walk away afterwards. I had trouble walking -- in fact, I had trouble moving my leg from the gas to the brake -- after I rode a 200km on Saturday. > Does > your mode wheel move without much assistance?) The detents between settings aren't very strong. However, perhaps because of how I use it I haven't had much of an issue with inadvertent switching. I'm on the "slow and deliberate" side of the continuum. > Hence most of my own > shots of the San Diego ride were ruined. > > And it's not like my own riding speed would ever let me catch up with > any other rider out there after stopping for photography.
