Even though I have a "stable" of pricier Leicas and lenses, the D-Lux is almost always with me because it's soooooo easy to carry - and I almost always get comments on how good and cool it look with the vintage leather case. That's why I recommended it. Recently I spent a couple of weeks with a Nikon D3X - amazing camera, but I hated carrying it around, it weighted a ton and made a very loud and distracting noise when taking pictures - all of which contributed to make it rather useless for casual street and "touristy" photography.

The pics of Jeff Howard from this small Leica are amazing. I will have to take a look on it. What bothers me a bit with it ( it looks a lot like my Lumix ) is : - the lack of "vintage control" of ISO and expo correction : I use them faster on the rotating wheels of the Canon - the zoom of 3.8x is a bit limited and could be frustrating compared to the Canon.

I could be missing the quality of a SLR camera with a larger sensor. I have not been impressed at the end by my GH1. I used a 14 - 140 and a 20 mm pancake. The widest aperture was f/4 with the 14-140 and going fast to f/5 so it was not a bright one at all and even with the f/1.7 of the pancake, low light shooting was a disaster with the GH1. So yes, I got some kind of vaccine against the micro 4/3 ! If only the X1 could come with a zoom like the D5, I think I could try it... But it must be a great great camera for landscapes. I have to check this D3100....

Jérôme,
Terrific photos - looks like you had a wonderful time there. Angkor is an amazing place. I'm sure you've been to the Musée Guimet - the Khmer (and other Asian) art there is terrific. The photos of the bridges are amazing too.

A corollary to the "the best camera is the one you have with you" is "the best camera is the one you know best" - once you get used to the controls and nuances of one brand, it might be better to stick with that brand rather than have to re-learn where every function is and how to operate it. One of the reasons I really like the "proper" digital Leicas is that aperture and focus are on the lens and shutter speed on a dial. I can live with ISO requiring 2 clicks of a menu - after all, we lived for decades with fixed ISO film. Whatever you end up getting, I look forward to seeing the results! Alberto |

Now with a compact camera, I have to compensate my lack of exposure knowledge by playing with ISO and expo correction.
