Best Non-SLR digital camera

[servealoha]

actually i was gonna consider the lx5. anyone has some thoughts on it?

[(10chars)]

lx5 is the best camera ever made!! mine is for sale btw ;-) $350 shipped.. price is negotiable. i actually upgraded from the s90 to the lx5 -- there were a few reasons why i liked the lx5 more (read a few pages back in this thread there is plenty of s90 vs lx5 discussion). im selling mine to fund a 35mm 2.0 for my t2i. let me know if youre interested!

[pepper davies]

Awww. I wish I had the cash to take that camera off your hands.

[spudeey]

Does anyone know of any christmas/boxing day sales on a s95? What's the cheapest place to buy?

If anyone's looking to sell I'm interested too

[spudeey]

Can you fit an lx5 in jeans pockets?

[home]

nope.

[darkknight]

can anyone post nice pics they've taken with their lx5? still can't decide between s95 and lx5.

sorry for the picture overload -- i wanted to show a variety of different shooting situations.

mine is for sale btw

where to cop fuji x100?????

[Solix]

Nowhere yet. It's set for a March '11 release.

[edmond]

how much is the expected price??

[pepper davies]

A grand US. I'm definitely going to get one. This is the camera I've been waiting for.

[Yardsale]

I hope it comes in an all-black version. Then I might be interested

A grand US. I'm definitely going to get one. This is the camera I've been waiting for.

Why? Because of the looks? I havent seen anything about how good the IQ is.

I think its a cute camera but the fixed 35mm focal length kills it for me. 50 would be perfect for a snap shot camera like this.

GF1 >>>>> anything in its price range. And i hear they are coming with a 25mm 1.4 pancake lens (equivalent to 50mm). The lens itself will probably be a G but its wroth it.

what's my best option in a compact with a viewfinder. i can't goddamn shoot properly without one.

i already have an lx3 - should i simply try to source the panasonic viewfinder for that?

[august_]

Has anybody had any experience with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7? The reviews seem pretty good, but I'm wondering if I should pay an extra $200 for the LX5. Not sure I need it for my purposes, though...

[edmond]

got my wife a samsung nx100 pretty good pic quality

[eddyz]

i would've gotten the EPL-2 or GF-1. No built in flash for the nx100 is the biggest turn off for me + looks butt ugggggs

[home]

okay, fuck the canons. anyone shoot with ricoh? GX200 in particular. after popping back on the SLR, i've decided what i really need in a compact is a viewfinder.

some nice deals on the GX200 VF kit going about ...

[edmond]

leice dlux 4 or dlux 5?? or ricoh?

[poly800rock]

i've been getting really into ricoh pics recently. i think regardless of how you look at the dlux models (i have the dlux 4 which i love), in reality it will ALWAYS be a poor man's leica.

[home]

man, leica? i don't care if you have money coming out of your arse, stick with lumix.

i think the lx5 looks pretty great, but it gets exxy with the electronic viewfinder. ricohs look to offer some nice value, but at the end of the day, lx3/5 offers better lens & image quality (particularly at higher ISOs).

[edmond]

so gf1? is better than leica really?

[Guest umhaha84]

I hear best option for m 3/4 are e-p2 body with Panasonic lenses,

btw, schneider announced they'll start producing m3/4 lens,

[eddyz]

i had the gx100 for a long time. Very good quality build, shots raw, good lens and looks "cool"

imo, the best option for 3/4's right now is the new E-PL2 or GF-1. I hate gf2's touch screen, is lame and unresponsive.

[Guest umhaha84]

p2 has two dials, pl2 has one,

p2 has no flash, pl2 has a flash,

I prefer extra dial over internal flash.

[eddyz]

but this is the non dslr . why would you want to carry an extra flash around. set it to A mode, and bam shot away

[Guest umhaha84]

hm..how many of you take the picture with flash?

I hate internal flashes maybe it's just me bah

[swooc]

gf1 or epl-2? i want the pana 20mm which comes with the gf1 in a packaged deal. i also like the look and feel of the panasonic body better. epl-2, i like that it goes upto 6400iso, have IS, and a nicer EVF. but i'll have to put more effort into selling the kit lens and purchase the 20mm separately.

fuck, so hard to decide.

[edmond]

who needs iso that high?
