Good hack for Panasonic Lumix LX-32009-03-19
I bought this after reading it could be used on a Panasonic Lumix LX-3 camera. WIth some padded tape, you can make it work. It doesn't completely seal, so it's not good for protecting the lens in dusty or misty areas, but it's certainly neater than dealing with the lens cap on a string that came with the camera.

This is a real neat solution. I found the supplied lens cap an irritation and prone to getting lose/mislaid. The LC-1 Auto Lens Cap can just be fitted and forgotten.

Took a bit of fiddling, but with a little interior buildup it fits on and works well with my new Panasonic LX3 digital camera. This is a very cool product and you should see people's faces when you point your capped camera at them and the cap pushes itself open!
Use this on an LX32008-12-12
With some minor modifications, you can apparently use this lens cap on a Panasonic DMC-LX3 (I have not tried it yet).

Why You Should Use A Mini DV Camcorder
Introduction The mini DV camcorder has many advantages to offer its users. If you enjoy your digital video camera you will also enjoy this. The mini DV camcorder is easier to take with you than the regular sized cameras such as the hi definition camcorder, or the hi-Res camcorder. The size of this camcorder is one of its big advantages. The features this camcorder can offer are also great. Some cameras offer more features than others, so make sure that the camera has the features you want. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Generally when design, performance and technological improvements are made on electronic products there is a reduction in size as well to make them more compact.
