knowing panasonic, the sensor proc would be crap. Hopefully fuji can land the killer blow provided they stop with the mp race. They already got phenomenal dynamic range.

agree. Panasonic jpeg processing is one of the worst especially low light. But we never know. Let's wait
for review.

Point and shoot market and camera is very predictable. Tell you what will happened:

cannot. f/3.3 sux  doh.gif

wait G10 or F200FD  hmm.gif

It seems like Canon/Fuji not going to that path. Only us who know the goodness
of low noise will ask for lower pixel. If they going to increase pixel count, noise
will increase. Cannot defy law of physic. Cannot have bigger sensor coz price
increase.

fuji f60fd out d...but lost

I want the old F31FD...revision  FTW...


Added on August 21, 2008, 1:55 pm

wait for lx4 then..

the new sensor...
*
LX4? The problem is not only noise. At high ISO or noise implementation,
basically Panasonic will over process it and destroy the picture.

Fuji sensor is Super CCD which is better than Panasonic normal CCD in noise
and other thing.

QUOTE(daruma @ Aug 21 2008, 01:56 PM)
lx4 at least one year wait.

G10 maybe soon  hmm.gif

If only Canon want to win back Point and Shoot.

out of curiosity, do you guys normally use the 4:3 or 3:2 format when shooting?

Pls pardon the noob-ish question  blush.gif
*
3:2 is for dSLR user who want their picture to be 3:2 so that it's the same with their
dSLR.

For noobie like you, just use 4:3.

Ya, it is a built in mode.
U can choose the "starry sky" mode from the SCN mode.
The are also tons of other preset modes to choose from in the SCN mode.

I noticed the trails also after uploading them to my pc.
Will try ur suggestion on my next try.
I have to thank you also for letting me discover another great thing my LX3 can do  wink.gif

Thanks for showing us that LX3 have terrible purple fringing.

By the way, if you up the ISO during starry night, you'll get more star from noise. laugh.gif bad suggestion I
think to increase ISO....

LX2 is crap. There's only 2 camera that can use:
a) Panasonic LX3
b) All Fuji F-series

If you buy LX2, you can throw into rubbish bin after receive.
That's how bad is LX2.

On the technical side, these are the main differences I know of:
i)  Larger sensor
ii) Faster Leica lens (f/2.0)
iii)Venus Engine IV
iv)Shorter zoom
A few things come into my mind when dealing with photo sharpness.
i)  ISO (smaller better, e.g. ISO-80)
ii)  Aperture (smaller better, e.g. f/8.0)
iii) Lens (Leica is a very good lens)
iv) Handshake (depends on individual)
v)  Camera processing (can be set in camera settings)

The reason why ur fren's Nikon is sharper might also be due to another factor.
Pixels.
Do remember that the LX3 is a 10Mpixel cam.
If u compare it with a 12 or 14Mpixel cam, the 100% zoom is different.

All the geng sifus please correct me if I am wrong~!
laugh.gif
*
Let me correct you then. Nikon post process is good. Panasonic might cannibalize your
picture whistling.gif

Anyway , the comparison between two camera must have the same condition. I doubt
the Panasonic and the Nikon camera is anywhere same condition when the picture is
taken.... icon_idea.gif

The Nikon my cousin is using is quite old ... 8MP only.
What do you mean same condition?
*
erm, same condition means at the same place/time/etc. Everything same.

Anyway, if 8MP, probably your lens and Nikon lens resolution is same.
But since Nikon 8MP and Panasonic 10MP, so:
Sharpness at 100% = lens resolution/CCD resolution
If lens resolution is equal, with increase CCD resolution, sharpness at 100%
will be bad for Panasonic. icon_rolleyes.gif icon_idea.gif

Oh LOL I'm lost. Any guide you recommend me to read online /

actually picture sharpness also depends on your lens. So when Panasonic
lens and Nikon lens same sharpness, when you see at 100%, your Panasonic
photo will be larger. Sure its less sharp right?

Or look at this way. You have 1 same photo. One is enlarge 80%. One is enlarge
100%. Which one is more sharp?

The thing is, even your lens have different sharpness at difference zoom and
aperture. So its very hard to compare. tongue.gif

Mr gogo2..wat do u meant by lens resolution??i never heard any term like "lens resolution"..
don try to confuse ppl here.. blush.gif  blush.gif

da megapixel will only make differences when da photos is being enlarge or zoom..
tat's y some professional photographer need a higher mp camera in order to get higher printing resolution..
but if normal usage like us..10mp is more than enough..juz like PCHo say..da sharpness of da photo is mainly
due to lens,aperture,shutter speed,and handshaking will cause ur photo become blur as well...
tat's y we nid a tripod when shoot in slow shutter speed..higher shutter speed will contribute a sharper image..

anyway..i sold my lovely LX-3 today..and now i m "camera-less"... cry.gif  cry.gif

doh.gif if you don't know anything about photography, you can shut up my friend.

oh ... laugh.gif thanks for the heads up !!

So to increase the sharpness you have to use smaller MP ??

You can resize your photo to 8MP and see whether its the same sharpness or not lor.

SOmehow this does not make sense  shakehead.gif

Why not? Small pic is always sharper than bigger pic if the information
is the same. Let's say you have 2MP picture. You resize to 4MP. Then
you view both 2MP and 4MP picture at 100%. See which one is more sharp
at 100%.

If not understand, pls ask. Not shake head. Its very rude of you.
