Fuji F200 EXR vs Panasonic LX3 – Karl B, on the extra features and functionality you get when you pay more for the LumiX DMC-LX3 over the FujiFilm FinePix F200EXR:

I paid the extra for controllable flash, bracketing, histograms & flashing highlight warnings, Raw, faster lens, better LCD, better IS, wider angle, better lowlight shooting indoors which includes the ability to use a hotshoe to bounce my tiny pocketable Canon EX270 when ultimate IQ is needed.

Notes:

  1. IQ = image quality.
  2. Raw = RAW image file.
  3. Canon EX270 should be Canon 270EX.
  4. Faster lens on the LX3 refers to the largest aperture openings of F/2.0 at the wide end, and F/2.8 at the telephoto end.
