DMC-LX3 compare

I bought a camera to take photos of the group, and in situations where I do not want their weight, size and intimidation factor DSLR. In many cases, people are more relaxed when they see me point and shoot people from the professional digital SLR camera. Self-DMC-LX3 is a “toy” business and operational characteristics. DMC-LX3 allows me to shoot and get good quality or accidentally 7D Canon 50D in these situations. Decent understanding of photography, I have always wanted in a shoe for external flash and a manual work, even point and shoot camera. I rarely use the auto program and set the white balance manually. If the automatic device detection and found that overall satisfaction is typical of many compact cameras, including Canon and Sony.

One thing that struck me in creating user-mode MANUAL f-stop and shutter speed. There is no need to make the submenu. The display is at the bottom of the screen that the f-stop, shutter speed and metering displays. Setting these parameters are easy to use dial button on the right side cameara small LCD. Small, the complaint is displayed after about 10 seconds disappeared. Mid-Press the shutter button or take a picture “on the screen. In addition to this freak, I think the menus in a logical, I know that he was able to act quickly, aby the camera What I have to get in certain situations presented.

LCD screen is sharp and has good resolution, but does not believe the color temperature is just right. This means that the warm side. Failure, however, that when it deliberately and get the monitor to adjust the color temperature of the crime scene.

The image stabilization works well and gives the opportunity to delay shutter speed of light to shoot. I am providing a great fan of Image Stabilizer (IS), the clear images in almost all cases, except that if nothing is done, will be repaired. Image stabilization allows free tripod in many situations and give light to travel and work freely with this device.

The lens is good enough for the camera in this price range. My images by hand and found that the sharpness is very good, and not the limiting factor with this device. Another reason why I bought this camera was the speed of F2.8. And “to promote fast enough in society and too little light. I admit that the lens a telephoto lens, but extremely useful for the 90% of the images.

What is the picture quality of this device for what it is ideal. I shot the rating of ISO 400 or less, and good results. ISO 800 and starts over grainy, but it is possible that in some situations, where the grain of the desired atmosphere to give mainly the scene. Do not wait for the professional camera Canon camera or other 5D/7D. This dimension of the matrix is a fraction compared to an image or a form of a matrix 1.6. Noise / grain sensitivity factors clearly show that the size of the sensor and the image quality is the limiting factor.

But want is the second that I was not compact. Flash again with my Vivitar 285HV stof the speaker and sockets, or with a group of good results. Since I use an external flash for the Panasonic camera, I have to choose the f-stop to Flash Player. If you have an old school auto thyristor flash, if you know what. Flash is also a good grip, because the camera is so small, can be the constant challenge.

Please note that this camera pop-up flash. The unit should know how to remove red eyes or the eyes of the people because the red in the area, in a flash. I use flash only when I have other options, and are willing to live under harsh picture of a criminal investigation.

Overall, this camera is excellent and a lot of metal deck outside the body. The production quality is excellent. The camera can be configured and operated manually by the user or the entire program will be carried out automatically will continue to be the good results. As many pictures, I regret buying this camera, and even choose to do it all again .

The Lx3, for me, has finally merged the love of manual photography with the digital world. I use the 60 second exposure almost obsessively, and the macro is amazing. Anything above 400 ISO Is useless for large prints, unless you love b&w; with 'film grain'.

2 weeks ago bought both Canon S90 and Panasonic LX3. After testing LX3 I found that its white balance is terrible. All people faces have pinky color (!). I tried to use different settings for the white balance as well as all scene modes. Nothing worked. More or less pinkies. LX3 looks great, it has an excellent body construction and ergonomics. Quality of both indoor and outdoor images are better vs. to S90. But PINKY color of people faces kills all LX3 great characteristics. 3 days ago I bough

Just a great all around camera, offering both auto and manual modes for getting more creative...great macro, clean vid mode. I bought the adapter and wide angle lens and it serves me very well for my real estate sales needs! Great wide shots with minimal barelling.
