Best Non-SLR digital camera

[poly800rock]

saying the dlux 4 at 800 is ridiculous. you can get it for $650 now. I got one 2 months ago. And with lx3 prices at $500, the 150 difference is up to the person.

[po_boy_fuuma_hatesbargerz]

The E-P1 is definitely something I am right about to bust out and buy.

I was trying to tally up my Nikon lenses and body to see how much money I've porked away being a dorky photographer, and was astonished to see that the Sigma 15mm f/2.8 constant 180 fisheye that I bought two or three years ago for $300 is going for $500+ now.

Anybody interested in a medium-used D80 + everything else?

you're paying an extra ~200 for a red dot but other than that its the best compact right now. the lx3 has been pretty much sold out everywhere constantly, so it might be worth to just splurge on the d-lux.

(i think you can find reasonably priced lx3's on ebay though if youre willing to deal with hk sellers)

i got my lx3 for 440 euros the day it came out and have no regrets. i still hope that canon releases a g11 with lx3-level optics soon, because the lx3 can be a bit fidgety while the g10 has manual controls better than many entry-level SLRs.

[poly800rock]

440 euros is $626 which is 25$ less than the leica. $25 is worth the extra warranty and possible processing speeds. They really jacked the price of the lx3 up when people realized it's such a great camera. BTW, you also can get the lx3 easily in asia, saw it at narita airport last week

[ProfMonnitoff]

^ this was a year ago when it first came out, and i bought it at a local store because i don't like buying stuff online (strange, considering how much time i spend on the internet)

the leica was 800 euros at the same store

anyone have a canon d10? its their new waterproof camera comparable to the olympus stylus 8000. not sold on the olympus stylus because i dont think it takes that great of a picture

[stewiegriffin]

what's the deal with Leica M System? are they any good?

[Dex_star]

yes and very sexy

i dont know about either's picture quality, but the d10 looks like it has down's syndrome compared to the olympus.

[ProfMonnitoff]

m8(.2) is stupid overpriced in comparison to canon/nikon if you go by just picture quality, but it's a different way of taking pictures so some like it

if you dont know whether or not you want to drop 5+ G's on a leica system, you're probably better off with a regular dslr

Yeah the gripping area and controls on that camera are pretty tiny.

I have big hands.

Pictures are amazing, ESPECIALLY for a compact.

I'm still brokenhearted it didn't work for me.

[phen3N]

how is the LX2 compared to the LX3?

[ProfMonnitoff]

much longer zoom, but more noise

[TPR950H]

no hot shoe either.

[ProfMonnitoff]

honestly i dont see why anybody would put an external flash on an lx3

might as well carry an slr at that point

What's a good price for a Mamiya m645 J? Comes with eye-level prism, film insert, and 150mm 3.5 lens?

Here's the sellers picture.

+rep will gladly be spread for helpful info. Thanks.

[darkness2505]

whoevers getting a PEN, rumours are that a new one is gonna be out end of this year.

[TPR950H]

i also heard rumors of a new 10MP G11.

That Panasonic should be great. Even looks like it might except an electronic viewfinder. Considering the lx line of point and shoots, I am putting high hopes on it.

[Dex_star]

Just got the D-lux 4 a couple days ago and I'm pretty disappointed

I guess I was just expecting too much coming from a DSLR set-up

But it really does feel like a normal P&S to me... Maybe I need a little more time to adjust to the compact world

[poly800rock]

What don't you like about it? I feel with manual controls it does everything I want it to do. But I'm not a photo geek.

[Dex_star]

I guess my main concern is the autofocus... feels really sluggish to me

IQ looks pretty good... and the scene options are fun... but I miss bokeh haha

[TPR950H]

this is sorta cool. maybe it will help:

i guess coming from a DSLR background, yeah, no way is autofocus gonna be as quick, but it's not bad as far as compacts go, and you can manual focus as well on almost every setting

[po_boy_fuuma_hatesbargerz]

yo negloz

Somebody recommend me a cheap, waterproof camera. I don't care if film or digital, I just want something to take surfing to get some sweet sunset shots.

Thanks.

[DJI]

looking for a point and shoot that'll give reasonable quality snaps without a plethora of manual controls I won't end up using, Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3/TZ7 a good option?

[DJ_Flame]

get ixus, it fits your needs.
