Default Re: Contemplating picking up a DLUX3 for ubiquitousness

Hi Guys,
I'm new here, and contemplating picking up a DLUX3 today for a trip I'm heading out on tomorrow. About a year ago I bought one for my father, and was impressed by its build. I haven't scrutinized IQ, but I'm not expecting that much-as compared to my main rigs-pro Nikon DSLR's. The draw of the DLUX3 is, sometimes I just want to go fast & light without having a big, black LowePro bag slung over my shoulder.

The question is, how bad is IQ compared to the Nikon D3, for example, and how good is it compared to other P&S's? Day & Night, limited clipping points & DR? I should add that I'm comfortable shooting manual mode, will have and use my Sekonic light meter for the shots I actually have time to set up, and love the 16:9, RAW & Manual modes of the DLUX3-not to mention the "feel" of it.

Any feedback is much appreciated.

Kind regards,
jbcrane
I find that Iif I shoot in RAW format, any issues with clipping, & noise can be fixed with processing afterwards (I use Lightroom). Like you I was looking for a lightweight substitute for my DSLR. I don't think you will need a seperate handheld meter as you can view a live histogram when shooting.
Have a look at Leica D-Lux 3 Photography by Jim Radcliffe for examples from the d-lux3

Well, duh. That's exactly what I thought when I read his post.

Thanks for this link. This Sigma compact, fixed lens (28mm equiv) with a large sensor looks really interesting.

Does anyone have any performance feedback?
