Sweet! I didnt know they were going to release an update. Too bad i'm at work all day and cant mess around with it.
I'm gonna buy this camera soon if I spot it somewhere below 400 euro's.
How long does the battery go?
i think it depends how you use it , but if you use it normally . i think it can go on until a day or more?
^^
What about total battery life? I read on productpages it includes a rechargeable battery and stuff.
Don't wanna dish out a lot of money every week |D
what do you mean by rechargeable battery and stuff?
but i can assure you that you won't dish out a lot of money every week LOL

Oh cool. I recently bought an LX3 aswell.
Nice find. Shall update later in the evening ^^
Thank you for the post. Will update mine later.
Updated mine. AF does feel faster. The improved white balance feels like it makes the dynamic shots a bit less saturated which is good.
Just sold the LX3. Got myself a DSLR. :)
