Ferry Zievinger Posted December 15, 2009 Share #1 Posted December 15, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) I always soot in 24mm and 90% in 3:2 image ratio and I like the easiness of the compact camera. Does it make sense to step up from my D-LUX 4 to the X1? Is there significant difference in the quality of image? Is it worth the $$? All suggestions are welcome.

Advertisement Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 Hi Ferry Zievinger, Take a look here From D-LUX 4 to X1. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
MPJMP Posted December 15, 2009 Share #2 Posted December 15, 2009 The X1's 24mm lens is equivalent to a 35mm field of view. In other words, not as wide as what you are used to using on your DL4. Might want to take that into consideration. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
regedit Posted December 15, 2009 Share #3 Posted December 15, 2009 X1 it's not an upgrade for d-lux4. in my opinion is something complementary. X1 have 2 major strengths over d-lux4: - bigger and better sensor which allow good high ISO captures - excellent analog controls for manual mode operation but prepare to overcome the limitations: - not as wide as d-lux (it's a lot of field between 24 and 35) - zoom entirely by feets (I use my d-lux only at the edges of zoom and looks like 2 primes 24 and 60) - no fullHD video which is quite convenient for me (d-lux is quite OK for snapshot videos with my kids and I don't need to carry extra camera around). In my personal opinion (not shared by my wife, of course a combination of d-lux4 and x1 it's a perfect gear for a enthusiastic photographer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All suggestions are welcome. 1) Well, I'm not sure what you like to take photographs of or what your skill level is. 2) Most likely 3) You are paying an early adopters fee for having a small camera with a large sensor and a Leica tax for the red badge. Is it worth it to you? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ppolla Posted December 15, 2009 Share #5 Posted December 15, 2009 I agree it would compliment the DL4, and it would be a great step on the way to an M9... That is at least my plan... P Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferry Zievinger Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share #6 Posted December 15, 2009 Thanks for your comments. Regedit I agree with your view on this, I indeed think it will be a good compliment to the D4. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

delnerdo Posted December 16, 2009 Share #8 Posted December 16, 2009 It seems like a natural progression - fixed focal-length lens, bigger sensor. My hope is that the X1 will handle more like a camera and less like a gadget. I've no trepidations about being able to choose between the X1 and D-Lux 4 for use. (That is, once the X1 finally arrives - it's been nearly 100 days since the announcement.) Hopefully they are stepping-stones to an M9. BTW, if I had the D-Lux 4 Ti, I would stow it away as a collector's piece. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
