Panasonic has released a firmware update for their Lumix DMC-LX3 camera. This camera has been out for 14 months and remains nearly impossible to find due to its popularity. Kudos to Panasonic for adding all of these features to what most would consider an "old" camera:

• Improved auto white balance performance.
  
• Faster autofocus
  
• New 1:1 aspect ratio
• New white balance bracketing option
• New high dynamic range option
• New lens and menu resume features
• Exposure compensation range now +/- 3EV
• Guide line position can be set manually
• Digital redeye removal has been "modified"
• Highlights can be displayed in playback
• And more!

Thursday update: Panasonic has yanked the update due to "issues", and promises it's return by October 20th.
