OMG POISON~~~... =.=

I'm trying to learn photography.. that's why considering LX5 or DSLR D90 better... T.T

seems like LX5 is as good as dslr...

PnS vs DSLR------>pointless comparison.The D90 will butcher the LX5 until there's nothing left,just scraps and bones!

Not trying to be mean or whatsoever,that's the reality.PnS can never ever touch DSLR quality due to that small tiny sensor.Sensor influences optical/image quality,ISO performance,DOF and etc.Heck,an LX5 would barely survive ISO800 whereas the D90 can easily go ISO3200.

And DSLRs are popular also for their shallow DOF images,versatility to use different prime lenses specifically for "bokeh" like 50 f/1.4,85 f/1.2L.Heck, Even if LX5 has a F/1.0 lens, it still wouldn't produce real bokeh at all.

Anyway, this discussion should be brought up here instead:

Regarding the bokeh effect, there is a compromised way to do it through software. Though not as natural but it definitely does a good job.

Eh... I noob lar.


Yeah but like you said, it either looks fake (bokeh is sacrilege to some folks... so cannot be fake one) or if really take the time to photochop it layer by layer, it'll look nice but need a lot of time.

Then again, small sensor and big sensor are different animals all together.. small sensor also have an advantage with its wide dof like for things like street photography.

Hey Lx5er,

i need a camera for backpacking,

i cant decide from
1. G12, (all the control dial look nice, and the LCD screen)
2. Lx5, (wide angle, good lens)
3. Nex-3, (not really prefer the style/design, but the bigger sensor)

need urs advise...

i feel all the warm discussion here...(not like china forum fighting each other XD)

yaya I in Sg...

Hey got a noob question here.. I realized the LX 5 screen doesn't have auto rotation?!

depend your personal preferences...
whether u want compact or don mind bulky...
whether u wan to invest in lens or don mind sticking to a leica lens (LX5)
whether u like the design or not... ( i also don prefer the design )
depend on your budget...

make u can ask here Buying Advice for better opinion...
u ask here later all poison u with LX5...

U mean u wanna view those portrait pic in landscape mode but it appears to be smaller izzit...
There's only 1 way i guess.... to view the portrait pic in full screen... :
Just turn off the ROTATE DISP.

I think problem with this pic is the composition... there's no subject nor background. In the same situation, take a closeup of a leaf with the street light behind it will look better.

Littleprawn, the pic #5 in post #515 will look a whole lot better if u crop out that jamban looking thing at the bottom. Looks terrible like a jamban there. Then if u can rub off that white gunny sack thing too then lagi best.
