> The extra expense isn't worth it if you've no need for the extra features.
I agree... No one will find a "good" LX for $250, I'll grant you that. But, I have seen bodies go in the $300's, that's not a lot for an LX. Yes, I use most of the features of the LX. In fact, I never really used AE before I got the LX...now I use it quite often. I use the sports finder frequently as well. I only have one accessory screen (the new one with grid lines)...and I've used that one already for shooting buildings. On the downside, the accessories are very expensive. There's no getting around that. >Have you used the OTF metering much in such a way as to take advantage of it - such as long exposures in changing light? No, not really. I took some shots at dusk in Bodie but they only turned out OK. Not the LX's fault though, I had the exposure compensation set without realizing it... I just bought a telescope so maybe I'll give that OTF metering a work out (and here the LX's MLU is essential). I always wanted to try a long DAYLIGHT exposure with the LX. Have you seen the shot that guy got of one of the LA freeways with the multiple ND filters that erased the midday traffic from the roadway?....too cool. I'll bet the LX could get that shot!
