Hello All,
My name is Thomas and I am a new member here. I have enjoyed all the great informatin and images this site has thus far. Thanks to all who comment and post here.
Here is my delima... In my searches for information on handheld cameras I have been led here and to Sean Reid's website. My 'quest' started from a need for a portable camera for an upcoming business trip so as not to have to lug around my Studio cameras and lenses. (I still work with Medium Format film from time to time but mainly use the upper end Canon digital cameras and "L" type glass.)
I have narrowed it down to 2 cameras the DX-100 and the D-Lux3.
As much as I am attracted to the GRDII, I want to keep it simple and compact for now. I think I would prefer some ability to zoom built in so as to keep it pocketable. I prefer to shoot in RAW. I like the 16:9 ratio of the D-Lux3 but the ability to use a VF on the DX-100. Decisions. Decisions.
A main concern of mine is that a purchase now would be premature of any new releases, with the upcoming trade shows and conventions . My luck would be to purchase a camera now and in 2 months a better one comes out! LOL
Should I get something reasonable now and wait for a few months on a 'higher' ended camera, possibly a newer released model?
I have less than a week to make the choice.
Regards,
Thomas
