New! Just published in July 2010:

Photographer's Guide to the Panasonic Lumix LX3.

NEW! Paperback edition now available from Amazon.com.

This new book is specifically oriented to the LX3 rather than the D-Lux 4. Although the two cameras are very similar, this book gives LX3 owners a guide that covers their camera in full detail, using illustrations of the LX3's controls, and using photographs taken by the LX3, rather than the D-Lux 4. In addition, the new book covers all of the features added in firmware version 2.0, including white balance bracketing, lens resume, menu resume, high dynamic scene mode, and more. The book is now available for sale in print form for $24.95, and is also available as a downloadable PDF file, for $14.95.
