A New Point and Shoot

I just got myself a Panasonic Lumix DMC LX-3 point and shoot. Yes a point and shoot! Ever wonder why I got this little toy since I have been a dSLR user for quite sometime? It's because of its specs, handy and faulty D40.

Dua minggu lebih D40 masuk clinic for repair. Lama betul repair. Rasa kekurangan dalam hidup berfotografi. Sanggup tidak mengunjungi KLIMS 2010. Tidak lengkap rasanya bila D40 tidak mengiringi aku ke KLIMS 2010 itu. Dah ada LX-3 ni, kenalah laungkan masa ke KLIMS 2010.
