Best Non-SLR digital camera

[bentobox]

Just bought an S90 and kinda on the fence about it. I generally use a G10 to shoot inside of a nightclub and jump between full auto and manual controls. With the G10, the wheel on the back jumps between aperture and shutter speed and I use the ISO wheel on the top. I found that with the S90, the manual settings were such that you can control two parameters at once (one with the ring and one with the wheel) and if you set one for say shutter speed and one for the aperture then you have to control ISO via pressing buttons in the menu. Am I missing something? Is there a way to have the wheel control both shutter speed and aperture like on the G10?

Also, when shooting in full auto in the club, the S90 kept on jumping into Macro mode (super frustrating) and a bunch of shots were super blurry. It may have been user error due to my first time using it out but generally speaking will the S90 be as good as my G10 is for this type of environment (once I figure out how to use it properly)?

Thanks in advance for the help.

how do you pull that, aperture doesn't support RW2

if you dont like controlling the ISO via pressing the menu button, you can set your shortcut button to ISO and then you can change the ISO by using the wheel. otherwise, i dont think you can make it so the wheel controls both aperture and shutter speed.

So far I'm really liking my S90.

What cases are you all using for yours?

[TPR950H]

probably gonna order the OEM case. otherwise the lowepro napoli 20 looks decent.

but right now im using a sock.

when people say they use socks, i imagine a worn white sock with holes or something.... even though im sure this is not the case. nopun

do socks work?

i mean it keeps it from getting scratches-- and may help in a small drop.. but its a sock.

its not a particularly nice sock or anything. it even adds bulk because the camera is much smaller than the sock.

its actually a worn black sock (washed of course) i had laying around. definitely not meant to be anything more than temporary.

i think a lot of people use socks to protect their lenses and what not in their DSLR kits.. but they usually put them in a nicer bag im assuming.

Had an extra $1000 on my paycheck this week. Finally picked up the S90 and loving it so far. I would have gone with the G11 but I needed something more pocketable especially since I already have a bulky ass DSLR.

anyone selling LX3 or s90? pm me

[Cool Story Hansel]

Hey Ricoh, congratulations on your ugly ass camera. This thing almost looks worse than those Swarovski studded cameras.

Uhhh... if you think it's ugly than the fault lies with Stussy not Ricoh.

[benriya]

people with the lx3/dlux4, what do you guys use as a case for the camera?

i want something that makes transporting the camera easier.

i've been using this and its a little too big:

may be a little girly - haven't decided yet

[markdjr]

I got a Kodak case from best buy for $12 that fits the s90 perfect, very compact, with room for a couple extra batteries. I also got the invisible shield from Zagg for the s90, pretty happy with it as well.

[TPR950H]

currently im not using a case for my S90-- i love the actual pocketability of it.

although my sister dropped it so its already been deflowered.

i think i need a better wrist strap.

I wish I had one of these:

But I have one of these:

And I like it a lot.

is there a non digital camera thread? my dad found some of his old cameras and i dont want to shit up this thread asking about them

[jtothe]

So I'm looking for an everyday camera. I was set on buying the s90. But I found a lx3 on craigslist with two lenses + a bunch of other goodies. Also I'm a little concerned with buying either one of these cameras because they don't have a view finder. But I really don't want to go with g11 because it's just too large for what im looking for. Need some help pulling the trigger.

[DJ_Flame]

Sorta stupid for an lx3 with all the extra features to be an everyday camera.

[U MAD]

you can't change the lens on an LX-3

e: also that's my everyday/only camera what of it

+1, same here. i got a cheap asian tube, uv filter, cap, hood, joby and a invisible shield and that is pretty much all that is necessary for my day to day. maybe if i really wanted to get into the photo game, i'd have to upgrade to dslr, but i mostly use it for touristy/memories shite, not art or commercial purposes.

[U MAD]

it takes as good pics as a dslr and has just as fast a lens but you don't feel like an idiot taking it around with you because it fits in your pocket. I'm waiting on an LC-2 lenscap int he mail, that's pretty much all I've got with it that isn't attached to the camera itself.

[jtothe]

so my question is.... Canon s90 or Panasonic LX3? which would you buy?

From the thread the LX3 for sale comes with the following:

- 2 gig of memory card

- 2 lens, telephoto and wide angle

- 3 filters UV, FLUORESCENT and POLARIZER

- 2 lens adaptors for 52mm

- 1 NEW TTL AF DIGITAL FLASH

I would have to buy a memory card and what not for the s90, so the s90 will end up being a little more expensive.

[redX]

lol what kinda of question is that... such a no-brainer imo

[jtothe]

Je suis un noob!

[TPR950H]

when i had an LX3, i was afraid of damaging the lens when bringing it around so i stuck the adapter tube and filter on it.. but that makes it sucky to carry around.

get the LX3. sell all attachments.

I hate the handling of the LX-3. Ergonomics/size of the S90 are much better in my opinion.

That rotating bezel around the barrel is pretty convenient.

I would say quality images between the two are negligible.

size = Canon S90

options (accessories) = LX-3

zoom = Canon S90

ergonomics/controls = preference

i have a ricoh lens cap brand new for sale if anyone wants

[M4TM]

just got this... (kinda the opposite of the S90 and LX-3 being discussed above!)
