Well, you have to blame someone!
I don't know why it caused me so much anguish, much more troublesome than deciding whether to buy the M8 or not. I dithered and dithered, and in the end curiosity at 16:9 and the slightly longer reach made me go for the D-Lux3.
I won't be using it a lot for black and white or for people shots (that's what my M8's for).
Anyway, a few day's playing with it, and some large prints (which are excellent) and I'm a happy chap.
Here are a couple of shots from the 'first roll'
I thought the camera handled the huge variation in light in the first two shots pretty well
This is a simple shot, and I was worried that the detail on the tree might not be good enough - but it seems to be fine:
This was shot in the kitchen on a sunny morning - it makes a fine 26" print that you can really eyeball:
I've left all of these in the native 16:9 - it's an interesting way to shoot.
These were all shot RAW and processed in ACR.
Maggie - thank you for the inspiration of your shots - Sean's reviews were very useful, but I think it was your 'results' which pushed me over the edge. Of course, you'll now go and get yourself a Ricoh and deny your old mate!
