so all you gotta do is put it in night scenery and it reduces the sensor bloom? thats cool....

@andrademeza - You've got it

Thanks a zillion for the advice ; received the camera yesterday and ready to break into pieces !!!!

You r so right!!! I got no skill for it yet to operate and advantage of this so I have decided to return it . Would u mind recommending a decent P&S????

@piyaji840 - Take a look at Canon PowerShot ELPH 100 HS 12.1 MP CMOS Digital Camera with 4X Optical Zoom - it's under 200 bucks and takes 1080 HD videos. There ain't much to know to be able to work with this point-and-shoot, just use automatic settings...

[piyaji840]

Oops!! well it should arrive any minute I will give it a shot

Also thank you very much for the reply.

I am an amateur user, but want a decent picture ; neither I like a DSLR nor I know how to use it..

Do you suggest a camera with no user interaction and still get a decent picture.

@piyaji840 - You can use LX5 as a point-and-shoot, but it would be a waste of money, since you are actually paying for the camera, that is capable of many wonderful things, yet you're planning to use it only as a camera you could've bought for the half of the price...

Read the manual and take as many photos in various modes, as you want, see what works, whatnot, and most importantly - take a photo classes in your nearby community college. Good luck!

Love my LX5 but hated the vert lines during low light vids. thanks for the heads up ! By the way, the 18mm lens for it rocks for uber-wide angle shot !!!

@artkalmeyer Dont worry :D

@piyaji840 - not totally avoid, but reduce to a tolerable level.

This camera can do quite a lot for you, but keep in mind, that it requires a thorough familiarity with multiple options, modes and color schemes...
