I had an Ebay moment the other night. You know - late at night - alcohol taken - seemed like a good idea at the time. I finished up with a pair of trade-in Lumix LX3s, two batteries, one charger, one instruction manual.

One has a battery door that needs a fingernail to open and a badly scratched LCD screen. You can buy spare screens (not the actual LCD but a protection screen that's fitted) from Ebay for about 10 quid.

The other one has half the serial number rubbed away but has the protective layer still on the LCD from new.

They're both obviously well used but both work well.

80 quid for the pair.

How's the pic quality outta the other one or is it similar?

IMO...you got a pretty good deal.Sharpness can always

be adjusted a bit in post as the last thing done. Colours

are nice. The leaves at the top of the flowers seem to

be more in focus than the flowers and that could just be

an AF adjustment or DoF adjustment in camera if possible.

Can't go wrong for 80 quid!

Yes both cameras produce the same quality of picture. I think the sharpness thing is a focus problem. It was a bit windy and I had the lens wide open so I probably missed focus when I took the picture.

Amateur Photographer (a UK magazine) has just celebrated its 130 anniversary and the latest edition is full of '130' based articles one of which is buying a £130 camera. They recommend 5 altogether:



Pentax *ist DL


Nikon FE2


Ensign Selfix 820


Box Brownie Model C


Panasonic Lumix L3
