Steve - thanks for reminding me of the LX5. Had completely forgotten about it. Have an LX3. While I love the image quality, hate the easily moved dial. Lost about 20 percent of my photos while in Washgton DC in 2008 and in San Diego in 2009 because of the wrong settings. User error, but it still bothers me.
Most of the time I've been using either a Ricoh GRDIII or lately, a Fuji point and shoot. Sort of like restricting myself to a prime lens, but frankly think the 28mm on the Ricoh is too wide for outside on the bike. The Fuji is more than acceptable for my uses and it has excellent low light capabilities. Did see a couple of nice options last night at a get together at Hiawatha Cyclery for Grant's book tour. Something more to think about. Eric Platt St. Paul, MN On 5/31/12, Brian Hanson <stone...@gmail.com> wrote: > True, but I'm used to zooms, and it was time to start working with primes > (for me).
