The most messages we got from most of our friends and readers are the difficulties in loading the pages in http://mylovelybluesky.com. I have made some calls to our web hosting service providers for couple of times to check on the server status, up-time and down-time and seems nothing wrong with it and we personally do not have any problem accessing the web also from here in Colorado Spring via Qwest’s broadband of 1.5Mbps/7.68Mbps.This made us getting worry of what will happen when we finally got back to Malaysia and if …

I haven’t really been exploring on the LX3 I have after getting it since I mostly using the Aperture Priority Modes that I will use on any given camera ( Provided the camera has it ).

I think a lot of peoples would be interested with the comparison between Panasonic DMC-LX3 (~USD450) & The Leica’s D-Lux 4 (Red Dot version of the LX3 @ ~USD850). For those that are new to the Panasonic’s LX series vs Leica’s D-Lux series, Panasonic OEM their LX series to Leica and sold as different product.

这两年里，我的耳朵一直有回响着：“Panasonic DMC-LX3怎么还没有推出？”我早已把这个句子背起来了。没错，这句话就是我身边最亲密的人常对我说的。自从2005年，我们两人去上海江南旅行回来之后，我们发现到去旅行背着一个大书包走走看看很不方便！！去旅行少不了走动，这些走动可能比我平时的步行还要多，再加上一个大大书包装着大相机，简直超累。当然有大相机，拍出来的照片也不错！！

为了解决将来的旅行不要背大书包装着大相机，他开始上网留意比DSLR较小型的相机， 就是Compact Camera（随身相机）。随身相机的定义就是 一般体积小的，重量轻和方便实用，最适合旅行和日常生活。虽然他没有提供可互换镜头，可是他们完全可用于快照和一些不雇佣一些其他摄影器材，拍出好照片。（The general term for small, light cameras designed for convenience. While they do not offer interchangeable lenses, they are perfectly usable for snapshots, and some do employ high-performance optics. Ideal for travel or “visual notebook” applications.）
