My LX3 is beginning to die, the shutter button has started to stick and I can't focus sometimes. I also found this page http://www.leica-camera.info/2010/04/leica-d-lux-4-service-mode.html it describes how to get into the service mode. One of the features of the service mode is a stats page with how many times I have used the flash, and how many photos I have taken since I have turned the camera on.
I've apparently taken 20,559 photo's, fired off the flash 323 times, powered on the camera about 8059 times and the camera has gone into power save mode about 1347 times. In short my LX3 has served me well, I'm just annoyed that I didn't used my superwide angle adapter as much as I should have.
I could upgrade the LX3 to a LX5 which would be really nice. I really have a few cameras to pick from at the price range that I am willing to spend. I could get one of the following
What will I get?! They are all nice cameras, but for ~500 euro they better be good! Then again I could be saving up to get a Canon 7d or a Canon 5d.
