Back to the D-Lux 4

Like the Prodigal Son, I have just returned to the D-Lux 4 as my one and only digital camera. I bought one a few months back to serve as a compact digital companion to my MP film camera, but returned it after just one weekend because I thought there might be something else out there better suited to me. In short, I haven't found anything on the market that I would prefer to the D-Lux 4 for a compact digital camera. Every night I briefly look at the D-Lux 4 gallery on Flickr and continue to be impressed at the pictures people can produce with this little camera. So....

 

I just ordered another D-Lux 4 along with leather case and a spare battery. Should be here on Thursday (my birthday!!).

 

And just so my MP doesn't get jealous, I also made sure to order a pack of 400H for good measure.

Good call. As much as I enjoy the Digilux 2, the DL4 is ideal for some occasions. I just came from a holiday party where it performed amazingly well - and the LCD works great indoor.

I went for the Panasonic LX3 (as it was on a very good deal) and have to say it is a fantastic little camera, and i tend to use it more than my Nikon D300, M8 or C-Lux1.

 

The Leica lens is great and it is so small that you can pop it into a pocket and is almost silent whne doing street photography:)

Switch off the fake shutter noise and it's totally silent :)

As embarrassing as this is to admit, if Leica were to make the fake shutter noise on the D-Lux 4 sound like an M3 at 1/60th (like they did on the X1) I might actually use it! ;)
