Trying Out the LX3 (or A Tour of Capitol Hill Architecture)

I've had Sonys for so long as either my main or walkaround camera, and Nikons for DSLRs, I don't know quite what to do with another brand! I've gone a bit crazy trying out my new camera around my neighborhood, but Capitol Hill is lovely, with a veritable wealth of architectural styles that never ceases to amaze me.

A warm hello from Paris and congratulations for your many great pictures. I also acquired a LX3 camera recently, a used one, but I am rather happy about the first results. Now I would like to have a backup one !

Lovely photos with that excellent LX3. I use the Canon G10 better suited for my big hand. Peter

Another beautiful gallery!

I've been trying to decide whether to purchase the LX3 as a back-up camera. Your photos have convinced me I should! Really beautiful.

Thanks! I would say those houses are about at A Street and 6th NE; they're very close to my dentist's office, which is on that corner. I just love that street -- quiet, lovely houses, especially those, which I seem to photograph quite often.

Beautiful photos!! I have to ask where on A Street did you shoot the red brick townhomes? Looks just like where I used to live, like 6th and A???

Like you, I was use to one brand. My choice is Canon but I am truly enjoying "my toy" too. The LX3 is great. Enjoy!
