Sensor size relative to the focal length of the lenses.
Almost everything in the frame is going to be in focus, because of the small Quality, but because it's virtually impossible to control depth of field with a compactĭigital. Not that i was disappointed with the image Process, and i just couldn't keep the cameras based on that principle.Įventually, though, i sold the G2 as well. I would still know that the camera was eliminating image data at some point in the It'll depend on the output size, your output device, and your own eyesĪnd discrimination. But, many have alsoĮxpressed the same disappointments i have. The thing is, many people are thrilled with the LC5 and Digilux. And, that's just with the G2, which might be Look,Įspecially, at how shadows and modeling are rendered. Instead, you get small dots, which sort of imitate shade. What's immediately apparent to me is that the LC5 doesn't really render tonality as Steve tests all the cameras in a pretty consistent manner, so you can Anything from a Canon 1Ds to a 2megapixel POS will lookīut, as i suggested, visit and look at the review image You really can't tell anything about image quality from what's posted on the web in Some people report an improvement, others have not beenĪble to acquire the update, possibly based on where they live. There's also a thread on dpreview about a possible upgrade/update to the firmware At 'small' print sizes, those image effects may not be apparent. If you need to print larger than 5"x7" though, i'd go If you're looking for a quick, responsive camera with a very nice LCD screen, theseĬameras might be great for you. In any case, you can't really expect to get a real Summicron + zoom AND digitalĬamera for less than you'd pay for an M-Summicron, right? In the end, i returned theĭigilux, too, and i'm now shooting only film. There is also the issue of the lens, which is rumoured to be only a re-badged Canon
I wasĬomparing the pictures to those from a Canon G2. Sharpening or somesuch? But, in the end, the pix were still posterized. It actually was a bit better, perhaps the firmware uses less aggressive
I then bought the Leica, hoping it would beīetter. Basically, the images are more noisy than otherĬameras of the same specs, and tonal information is lost. I returned it because the image quality suffers from what isĭescribed as a "posterization" effect. This is a year-old story, about which you can read plentyĪt I was very excited about both of these cameras upon their release last year, andīought the LC5.
