hakka lin...panasonic supporter spotted

Hahahaha.....
Of course babes and scenery shots more

And the DP1 reviews are really bad ler.....how come somebody say it is the holy grail?

http://dc.watch.impress.co.jp/cda/compact/...07/29/8921.html

come see ISO800/1600 of the king

At first i'm considering this as backup but since Micro Four Third announcement came up, i'm gonna wait for that.

might need to wait till LX4

With this LX3 come out TZ series dead alrdy.

all other digicam also die

Olympus micro 3/4 come out will also pawn LX3.
Wait and see.. im gonna wait for micro 3/4 too.
But from rumor, its using Pana's 3/4 sensor also

i also die...... why lar... bottom itchy go buy lx2 ?

maybe better in high ISO. but not much chance you'll get 24mm f/2.0-f/2.8

it's olympus and panasonic joint make it wan..

maybe olympus can help built lx4...water and drop proff also

Micro 3/4 is interchange, want pancake lens or super wide also can

dun want interchangeble lens ler. pricy

Its very attractive for current E-5x0 and E-4x0 user. Can get at 2nd hand market ma, so cheap.

Yo..did u check out the sample image of DP1 in dpreview...look at the pictures itself...and i say Faveon X3 is the best sensor out there not the camera itself...read what i say carefully and since DP1 use this sensor it can produce very nice and accurate color. Aren't u guys judge a camera by the picture quality?
And how can someone say Fuji F100 not nice a? my fren show me some of the pictures he's taken with the F100, i tot it was taken by his D80 until he told me it was F100..
And the main reason to buy a DIGITAL CAMERA is to take still pictures..if u wanna take good video then get a Video Recorder not a digital camera, if digicam can take video as good as those camcoder then who is going to buy or use those camcoder?

You have so much money buy both ah?
hahaha....

If u read the DP1 review carefully, u will find that dpreview complained a lot on the photo quality of the DP1.

Conclusion - Cons
Desaturated and 'flat' JPEG output
Some chroma noise even at base ISO, lots of it at higher sensitivities
Unreliable White Balance (and poor color in low light)
Generally very slow, very long read/write and processing times
Unimpressive shutter lag
Continuous mode only allows three shots per burst
Very slow Auto-Focus
Auto Focus gives up completely very quickly in low light (and there is no AF help light)
28mm fix focal length limits applications (but you know that before you buy)
Lens prone to flare (using the optional lens hood helps)
Red channel clipping
Low resolution screen that is also prone to reflections and smearing
Preview and playback view are both inaccurate (but in different ways)
Low refresh rate results in slightly jerky live preview image
Preview image turns monochrome in low light
Longwinded menu structure, few external controls (plus almost redundant zoom buttons)
Black writing on black buttons hardly readable
Battery life not impressive, indicator not very precise
Underpowered Flash, slightly unreliable flash exposure and slow flash recycling
No live histogramm
No highlight warning in review mode
Image parameters cover only small spectrum
Low quality video recording
Gridlines cannot be diplayed in Manual Focus mode
Quite heavy vignetting at F4
You can't shoot RAW and JPEG (only one or the other)
No macro mode
Highest sensitivity only ISO 800


Given this long list of "Cons" isn't exactly something I would call a "holy grail".
